HALIFAX - The Nova Scotia government says salvagers who were to examine the wreck of a bulk carrier on Scaterie Island have postponed their trip.
Dan Davis, a spokesman for the Natural Resources Department, says the companies were expected to visit the site next Thursday to determine how best to remove the MV Miner.
But Davis says the salvagers have cancelled to attend to other business.
The 230-metre long ship ran aground in a protected provincial wilderness area last September while being towed from Montreal to Turkey, where it was to be scrapped.
Davis says the companies have committed to get back to the province early next week to set a new date.
The provincial government has said it must approve the salvage plan before the vessel can be removed.
