On 12/1/1991 , the vessel CELINE METZ (Official Number 3108) was involved in a cargo shift/cargo loss - cargo shifted in 50 MILLES A L'EST DE GASPE, QC, QUEBEC (QC).

The vessel, with 23 persons on board, experienced the incident while engaged in regular operations. Fortunately, the ship was able to continue its voyage. No injuries or fatalities were reported, and there was unknown pollution.

This incident was officially recorded by Transport Canada on 1/30/1995 . Weather at the time was reported as clear with winds from the NW at 35.00 knots.

While the "CELINE METZ" was outbound in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, under-deck cargo
shifted when sea conditions caused the vessel to roll heavily. The vessel developed a list that the crew could not correct, and the master put back into port to secure the cargo. Before finally departing on the transatlantic passage, the vessel made a second return to port to rectify a less severe recurrence of the same problem.

The Board determined that the "CELINE METZ" listed because the unsecured under-deck
cargo had shifted.
