Work on the grounded bulk carrier Baltic III is moving into the next phase.

The Canadian Coast Guard has been informed by the vessel’s owners that Resolve Marine has been retained as the contractor for the removal phase of the operation.

While heavily damaged, the vessel has remained intact despite enduring two stormy winter seasons being battered by wind and wave.

The massive vessel became grounded in Cedar Cove near Lark Harbour in February of 2025. Oil and cargo has been removed from the bulk carrier, paving the way for its eventual removal.

Coast Guard officials will provide a further update on the vessel and next steps in the coming days.
