The owner of the MV Ancier has been fined $17,850 for a fuel spill that occurred while the former ferry was being refueled in Charlottetown Harbour two years ago. The incident resulted in approximately 1.3 metric tonnes of diesel potentially released into the water, causing a visible sheen and strong odor, raising concerns from local residents and environmental groups. Inspections reported no immediate impacts on local wildlife, but the exact amount of fuel spilled remains unclear. The vessel has since been scrapped in India.
