Fishing Charter Boat Detained After Sinking | Canada News

Published 7 hours ago
Description

Transport Canada has seized a fishing charter boat after a sister vessel sank last month, killing one and leaving six missing — all while the company operated without proper registration. The detained 11-meter boat, owned by Top Vancouver Fishing Charter, shares troubling safety issues with the 9-meter Top Ocean, which sank with 10 people aboard, none wearing life jackets. Investigators are probing whether operational failures contributed to the disaster, including reports of a broken door and prior flooding. The captain, 22, is among the missing, and authorities are urgently seeking witnesses to help unravel what went wrong.
