On 8/16/1995 , the vessel CANMAR EUROPE (Official Number 7027540) was involved in a collision - with another vessel or other floating object in LAC ST-PIERRE, QUEBEC,.

The vessel, with 29 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 none pollution.

This incident was officially recorded by Transport Canada on 10/12/1995. Weather at the time was reported as fog with winds from the WSW at 6.00 knots.

On 16 August 1995, the deep-draught container ships "CAST BEAR" and "CANMAR EUROPE" were transiting Lac St. Pierre in opposite directions at reduced speeds of 11 and 12 knots respectively because of restricted visibility in fog. After the vessels detected each other on their radars, the pilots agreed, by radiotelephone, on a port-to-port meeting. About two cable lengths upstream of buoy S74, the bridge watches on both vessels noticed the masthead light of the other vessel at close quarters on the port bow. A few seconds later, a slight jolt was felt on the "CANMAR EUROPE". However, the "CAST BEAR" had to be informed of the collision by radiotelephone, because no jolt was felt by that vessel's crew. Both vessels were slightly damaged, but there were no injuries or pollution as a result of this occurrence.
