The Federal Rideau is a cargo vessel owned and operated by Fednav. She, and her sister ship, the Federal Asahii, were built in Oshima, Japan, 2000.[1]
In July 2014 she ran aground in Lake St. Clair, near Peche Island, and required five tugs to get free.[2] She was carrying 20,000 tons of wheat from Thunder Bay to Montreal.
In December 2014 a failure of the Martin Luther King Bridge over the Maumee River blocked her progress in Toledo, Ohio.[3][4]
