There is alarming news out of Canada that the sister ship of the El Faro has lost propulsion and is now helplessly adrift off the coast of Canada. A Coast Guard ship is currently heading to hopefully assist the Northstar, but will not arrive until approximately 4 a.m., according to an article by News 4 JAX.
In October, the El Faro also lost propulsion as it was heading into a category 4 hurricane. The El Faro sunk killing all 33 crewmembers. The MV Northstar is also owned by TOTE Maritime. The ship was heading to Alaska when it lost power.
