Canadian Pacific(Bermuda) Limited Ships Requisitioned By British Ministry of
Defence
During the short lived British/Argentina Falkland Islands military crises
during the early 1980's four CPB ships were chartered lasting four-months
service in the South Atlantic. The ships were the 30,700 ton "Fort Edmonton";
31,000 ton "Fort Toronto"; 30,606 ton "G.A. Walker"; and the 31,000 ton "Fort
Rouge".(See CPB's "Port Quebec"
"Port Quebec"-Involved British/Argentine Fiasco
Canadian Pacific(Bermuda's) 60,000 tton "Port Quebec" built Denmark in 1977,
was also at the centre of the Argentine crisis, after that country invaded the
Falkland Islands. The "Port Quebec' entered the River Plate in late March of
1982 and berthed 288 miles up river at Diamante on April 2 to take on 23,000
tonnes of grain for the U.S.S.R.
At the outbreak of hostilities the Argentinian coastguard gave Canadian
Pacific's Argentinian agent their personal assurances for the safety of the
vessel. Seven armed guards were placed aboard the vessel and at a point
approximately have down the river the "Port Quebec" was escorted by a coast
guard patrol boat to assist in the vessel's safe passage to Montevideo,
Uruguay, where the ship eventually arrived on April 11. The "Port Quebec" is a
sister ship of the 60,000 ton "Port Vancouver" also built in 1977 and for a
period assigned to the Orient-Vancouver run berthing at Port Moody Pacific
Coast Terminals, a CP subsidiary through its 54% ownership of
Cominco(Consolidated Mining & Smelting Limited).
"MISCAN"
During 1983 Canadian Pacific(Bermuda) Limited and Malaysian International
Shipping Corporation Bhd Co. Ltd. established a joint company in Kuala Lumpur
to be known as "MISCAN" to operate a monthly vegetable oil parcel service from
South East Asia to Europe. The new company is to be known ad "MISC/CANADIAN
PACIFIC TANKERS". Until now both companies have operated a monthly service
independent of each other. Both companies being in the vegetable oil trade and
their involvment in the movement of caustivc soda from Europe and the United
States to Australia, which fits in with this trade. MISC. will contribute three
30,000 ton parcel tankers to the operation and Canadian Pacific will use its
four CP(Bermuda) 31,500 ton "Fort Assiniboine"-Class product tankers. In
addition, CPB's fleet of eight 30,000 ton tankers can be used as backup for
this service. News From May-1983.

CP Bermuda Limited to Leda Line's "M.V. Leda" as Master-part of CP's Arion
