Coast Guard responds after fishing boat crashes into rock in Barkley Sound
No injuries were reported as the Canadian Coast Guard contained fuel and monitored for pollution after the Northern Challenge struck a rock and partially sank.
- On Wednesday, May 6, the Canadian Coast Guard rescued two people from the Northern Challenge, a 40-foot fishing trawler, after it struck a rock in Barkley Sound and became partially submerged.
- Coast Guard vessels CCG Cape Sutil and Bamfield 1 responded to the incident site near Dodd Island, which a Tseshaht First Nation beach keeper identified following the collision.
- Surrounded by floating barriers and wrapped in tarp, the Northern Challenge is now at a dock to contain potential fuel leakage as the Marine Environmental and Hazard Response team assesses environmental damage.
- No injuries occurred during the incident involving the Victoria-registered vessel, and the Coast Guard confirmed the owner must cover all pollution response and cleanup costs.
- Although a small amount of light sheening was observed, officials reported no indication of an active fuel release as the Coast Guard continues to monitor the site to protect the marine environment.
