Oceanex Connaigra -where to for repairs

Oceanex Connaigra will not be drydocking in St.John's as I had reported earlier, for the very simple reason that the ship is too large to fit into the confines of the graving dock at Newfoundland Dockyard.

As of this writing the ship appears to be eastbound, on the south coast of Newfoundland, heading in the general direction of Burgeo. Earlier in the day it was westbound in the same general area. AIS also has it due in Halifax November 23. The Novadock floating drydock at Halifax Shipyard can accommodate the ship, but the present occupant, Travestern would have to vacate first.

The nearest other drydocks that could accommodate it are at Méchins, QC and Lévis, QC.
