Hebron: Oil rig tow out is stalled again.

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 platform left Bull Arm in Trinity Bay on Saturday. However, the platform and the eight tug boats that are towing it once again stopped Sunday evening, according to a notice from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

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.
