Any water from inside the ship is considered contaminated, so it is getting pumped directly into trucks and taken away by a specialized company to be disposed of properly, said Cormier. “There has not been any release of pollutants into the water or on land,” said Cormier, “But as an abundance of precaution, we have a response organization that is providing containment around the vessel and also containment along the shoreline to habitat, marsh area, to the west of the terminal.” The Canadian Coast Guard environmental response team is still on site, he said. “Our activities we basically discuss and submit plans on what we are doing so that the priority of environmental protection is taken care of,” said Cormier. “So, we always consult with them.”
