Just two days after its long-awaited tow out of Bull Arm, the Hebron oil platform's journey to its drilling site in Newfoundland's Grand Banks has been delayed. The notice, which was sent out 8:30 p.m. NT on Sunday, did not specify if the stoppage was due to ice or weather. The Hebron platform is being towed out to sea by eight vessels. (Submitted)The Hebron platform's tow-out is already almost a month behind schedule, after heavy ice in Trinity Bay lingered through the month of May, delaying any movement to and from the Grand Banks. The facility is set to begin producing oil in Hebron's field by the end of this year.
