On 31 October 2000, the MV Mokami was transiting the narrow waters of the Labrador coast with a partial load of refined products to be discharged at Voisey's Bay, Labrador. Upon approaching Bridges Passage, the officer of the watch ordered a course alteration to follow the recommended route on the Canadian Hydrographic Service chart No 5052. As the vessel was swinging to starboard to steer a course of 134º gyro, the Mokami ran aground on the shoal east of buoy NP5 at 1544 local time, causing extensive damage to the hull. The Mokami was refloated after transferring some cargo to the Sybil W. The grounding caused minor pollution in the vicinity which later dissipated. There was no injury.
