The 75-page Investigation Report sets out a chronology of the first 48 hours after the American tug-barge missed at least one course correction and ran aground, spilling more than 110-thousand litres of diesel into an important Heiltsuk food harvesting and cultural site in Gale Passage on October 13, 2016.
