200-foot barge drifts toward English Bay shore in Vancouver; Canadian Coast Guard secures it with assistance.
A drifting 200-foot barge approached English Bay's shore in Vancouver, prompting a swift response from the Canadian Coast Guard. The agency received the report at 2:30 p.m. and deployed two crews from its Kitsilano base, who, with assistance from a vessel from the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, secured the barge. Two Seaspan tugs arrived at 3:15 p.m., re-securing the barge. No injuries or pollution occurred, and the incident is under investigation for reasons behind the barge's detachment from its mooring.
