Algonova

This vessel's name takes the standard company prefix "Algo" and "nova" honoring the province of Nova Scotia, home province of Imperial Oil's large Dartmouth refinery and distribution center. The Algonova was to be used as a backup vessel for Algoma Tanker's Imperial Oil contract obligations and any other liquid petroleum business obtained by her new owners. The Algonova departed Halifax on April 6, 1998 bound for the Great Lakes via Charlottetown, PEI.
