On 21 September 1994, the tanker "MIMI", carrying 24,320 metric tonnes of miscellaneous petroleum products, was en route from Porvoo, Finland, to Montreal, Quebec, with a pilot on board. Because of her draught, the vessel had to anchor off Tracy, Quebec, to wait for a berth in Montreal.
At about 0323 EDT, the "MIMI" manoeuvred at reduced speed for the approach to the Lanoraie, Quebec, anchorage. When the vessel was in position, the anchor was dropped and the lever of the engine telegraph was placed on astern to stop the vessel. However, the main engine engaged on "ahead", and before the crew realized what was happening, the vessel gained speed and ran aground on the south-east bank. No injuries, damage or pollution were reported as a result of this occurrence.
