British Columbia’s ferry company reported a successful marine rescue operation that saved two individuals whose fishing boat sank in the waters between the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. The rescue, which took place on Sunday afternoon, involved the deployment of rescue craft from two ferry vessels, the Spirit of British Columbia and Coastal Renaissance. The rescued boaters were safely transported to the Tsawwassen terminal on the mainland.
Details regarding the condition of the rescued individuals were not immediately available, but the rescue operation led to delays in ferry sailings. Passengers were advised to expect delays on subsequent sailings later in the day. The ferry operator expressed gratitude for passengers’ understanding regarding the inconvenience caused by the rescue operation.
