The Canadian Coast Guard is reminding vessel owners to consider the cost of repairs and recoveries after its Tahsis crew recovered and towed a sunken fishing boat from the docks of Westview Marina to Gold River this month.
Earlier this fall, the Canadian Coast Guard received a call about a sunken 45-foot vessel from Westview Marina dock.
On Dec. 17, the Canadian Coast Guard stated that the fishing boat had been “successfully refloated and towed to Gold River, British Columbia, for removal from the marine environment.”
The crew’s Tahsis station took care of the operation by containing the vessel in need of repair on a “high flotation containment boom and monitored the vessel until it was patched, refloated, and safely towed in earlier this month,” read the statement.
With storm season in full swing, the likelihood of boat damage increases as does the number of derelict boats left at shore.
The Canadian Coast Guard is reminding that they are “responsible for the costs of addressing their problem vessel, including cleanup or repairs, and any remediation action taken by us,” reads the statement.
The Tahsis Search and Rescue station includes a 14.7 meter Coast Guard lifeboat, and operate around the clock, 365 days a year.
