The "Astron" is currently being loaded at Lewisporte and is scheduled to depart once loading is complete.

The "Astron" was engaged in refloating the grounded oil tanker "Mokami" in the harbour of a small coastal Labrador community on Oct 4, 2010. The "Mokami", a 91-metre vessel owned by the Labrador-based Woodward Group, ran into trouble shortly after making a fuel delivery in Cartwright in the morning. There was no fuel aboard the Mokami when the incident happened. After the "Astron" arrived, she pulled the Mokami to safety early afternoon.
