Salvage effort underway for grounded freighter

AP

ORLEANS, N.Y. — Shipping traffic remains suspended along a stretch of the St. Lawrence Seaway in northern New York as salvage efforts get underway for a grounded freighter.

The U.S. Coast Guard says a dive team conducted an underwater hull inspection on the 650-foot Federal Kivalina and determined it had run aground after losing its steering Tuesday afternoon in U.S. waters near the Thousand Islands Bridge in Orleans in Jefferson County.

The captain had the crew drop three anchors to stop the drifting ship. No one was injured and no pollution was reported from the vessel.
