Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Indiana

As the strike at the Kitimat aluminium smelter reached a critical juncture on August 16, 2021, the captain of the MV 'Indiana' made a heartfelt appeal for urgent refueling assistance. This vessel has been anchored at Rio Tinto's Terminal B since July 17 and is facing a significant challenge as its supply of low sulphur marine fuel, compliant with Emission Control Area (ECA) regulations, dwindles. With federal laws mandating that ships in Canadian waters can only be refueled with low sulphur fuel, the situation is becoming dire. Although the 'Indiana' has high sulphur fuel on board, the crew cannot switch to it due to potential violations of both federal and International Maritime Organization standards. The 'Indiana' urgently requires between 100 to 170 metric tonnes of low sulphur fuel to continue its operations safely and legally, underscoring the need for cooperation between the Union and Rio Tinto.
