TSB deploys a team to the Port of Québec, Quebec, following an engine room fire onboard the cargo vessel MSC Sao Paulo V.
Québec, Quebec, 9 March 2024 — The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) deploys a team of investigators to the Port of Québec, Quebec, to investigate an engine room fire onboard the cargo vessel MSC Sao Paulo V., which occurred on 3 March 2024 off Les Escoumins, Quebec. The TSB will gather information and assess the occurrence. The TSB (Transportation Safety Board of Canada) is an independent agency that investigates air, marine, pipeline, and rail transportation occurrences. Its sole aim is the advancement of transportation safety. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability.

The MSC Sao Paulo V, a container ship, issued a call on March 3, 2024 for help for an onboard fire in the engine room. The ship had left Montréal in the morning and was heading for Portugal. It is of Liberian origin and is 294 meters long.

The ship’s anchor was successfully raised, and the MSC Sao Paulo V’s departure ban was lifted on March 8, allowing the Ocean Taiga and Ocean K. Rusby to start towing operations. Towing began Friday evening, bound for the port of Québec.

As it is reported from the Canadian Coast Guard, the time of arrival will vary based on the towing speed and the weather, whilst no pollution from the vessel has been detected.

To remind, the Transport Canada prohibited the vessel last week from departing. “The fire on board MSC Sao Paulo V is nearly extinguished, but there is still a high smoke and CO2 content on board. Ventilation of the vessel will be required for a minimum of 24 hours before anybody can move freely on it without protective equipment,” the authorities said.
