Narrative
On 22 June 2015, the tug LCM131 girded and capsized while manoeuvring a tow wire attached to a barge on the St. Lawrence Seaway near Cornwall, Ontario. The event is listed as occurrence M15C0108 in the Transportation Safety Board of Canada's historical tug-girding material. The associated public occurrence data records no fatalities and one injury. The available official material does not identify the barge, describe the tow arrangement in further detail, or establish the emergency response, damage, pollution, or final condition of LCM131. It also does not provide a standalone investigation finding that explains why the tug girded. The page therefore records the tow-wire manoeuvre and capsize as confirmed occurrence facts while leaving the detailed sequence and consequences unresolved.
