Shelburne Mayor: Long-Term Solution Needed To Prevent Abandoned Vessels

Two solutions were identified to improve the status of abandoned ships plaguing waterways across the country.

Several people voiced their displeasure about the ‘Farley Mowat’ vessel during a meeting in Shelburne.

Mayor Karen Mattatall says it starts with removing that vessel and others across the province.

“And, a long-term solution, which is around closing loop-holes in legislation to prevent something like this from happening, again.”

Mattatall says there could be a possible resolution on the horizon.

She is inquiring to see if the derelict vessel can be disassembled in Liverpool as part of ongoing work at Port Mersey Commerical Park.
