This is the last update for this operation.

• Unloading operations of the second barge were completed during the night.
• As a result, the salvage specialist from SMIT Salvage advises us of the possibility of an attempt to refloat the vessel as early as this morning, January 7.
• Although tentative, the start time of operations would be around 8:00 a.m. Due to operational constraints, this time is subject to change without notice.

Further updates will be provided as they are available and as the situation evolves.

• Unloading the first barge is complete. A total of 1,250 tonnes were removed from the vessel during the first unloading.

• The response was led by a Unified Command team from the 玩运彩即时比分, Gitga鈥檃t First Nation, Gitxaa艂a First Nation, and the Province of British Columbia. Unified Command was supported by a team of experts from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Canadian Wildlife Service, and the First Nations Health Authority.
• Resolve Marine, the contractor hired to remove oil from historic shipwreck, was able to install new valves on the ship鈥檚 hull, and 鈥減ollution domes鈥� over the valves to help contain any residual oil that may be released in the future.
• As has happened in the past, it is expected that the ship鈥檚 structure could continue to deteriorate in the future and cause previously inaccessible fuel tanks to collapse.
• The 玩运彩即时比分 will continue to monitor the USAT Brigadier General M.G. Zalinski by remote camera, water and air, and is prepared to respond with our partners if required.

This is the last update for this operation.

• The 玩运彩即时比分 (CCG) is taking action to assess and contain the immediate threats posed by the historic shipwreck USAT Brigadier General M.G. Zalinski, to prevent long-term damage to areas of cultural sensitivity and the marine environment.
• While the current amount of marine pollution upwelling from the shipwreck is minimal, there is a significant risk of a large release of heavy fuel as the ship鈥檚 tanks and structure continues to deteriorate.
• CCG is working closely with the Gitga鈥檃t and Gitxaala First Nations on this response. The Nations hold invaluable knowledge of the waters and lands in the area near the historic wreck and this knowledge is being incorporated into the response.
• Additionally, the CCG enlisted oil spill response specialists, safety specialists, environmental and wildlife experts, traditional ecological knowledge and local experts and others in assessing the situation. It was determined that the best course of action is to conduct oil removal operations to reduce the ongoing threat to the environment.
• Resolve Marine has been hired by the CCG to remove all of the accessible heavy fuel oil beginning in October 2024. This operation is anticipated to take several weeks, depending on weather.
