After my feature on C.T.M.A. ferries on February 13
http://shipfax.blogspot.ca/2015/02/ctma-mulls-fleet-replacement.html , the ferry
C.T.M.A. Vacançier has again asked for icebreaker assistance in reaching Souris PEI from Cap-aux-Meules. Due to heavy ice in the area, the ship was at sea for 30 hours (as opposed to 5 hours in open water). The CCG called in CCGS
Henry Larsen from Newfoundland.
It had also assisted the tanker
Acadian in reaching Charlottetown.

Meanwhile at North Sydney the
Leif Ericson was trapped in ice for a time and its arrival was delayed by five hours. Ice experts state that conditions are normal for this time of year.
