What Crew Members Say About Aralia

On December 19, 2018, at approximately 1 a.m., the cargo vessel BBC Delaware experienced a steering gear control malfunction while navigating the St. Lawrence River near Cap-Sante, Quebec. The vessel, identified by its IMO number, was situated at coordinates 46° 39.775' N and 071° 47.925' W at the time of the incident. Despite the failure, the crew successfully engaged an alternative steering gear control mode, allowing the ship to continue its journey to Trois-Rivières for urgently needed repairs, arriving at noon the same day. Following the completion of repairs, BBC Delaware resumed its voyage at 10:50 a.m. on December 20, heading towards Contrecoeur before setting sail into the North Atlantic on December 22 at 5:10 p.m. for its next operational orders.
