December 28, 2017 - Boating Safety - Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
This New Year’s Eve, boaters will gather off Canada
Place in Vancouver Harbour to take in the fireworks display
and usher in 2018. Cold weather is predicted for New Year’s
Eve in the Vancouver area and it is anticipated that many
boaters taking in the fireworks, will be inside their vessel
cabins. The potential for Carbon Monoxide poisoning is heightened
in enclosed spaces and by the use of fuel burning heaters.
It is recommended that all vessels be fitted with a CO detector.
Boaters should become familiar with where CO can accumulate,
the symptoms and what to do if you suspect CO poisoning is
taking place. |

September 7, 2017 - Boating Safety - Situational Awareness
The Vancouver Police Marine Unit recently investigated an
incident where a PWC jumped the wake of one vessel and crashed
into the side of another vessel that the PWC operator appears
to have not observed operating in the area. The quick response
of the people on board the “struck” vessel and
the crew from the Kitsilano Coast Guard base, ensured there
was no loss of life. When operating a vessel, it is crucial
to take into account the distance you travel per second and
the additional distance traveled during the half second reaction
sequence. When navigating around other vessels or land formations
that obstruct your view, create space and travel at a safe
speed that will allow you to manoeuvre or stop your vessel
safely to avoid a collision. Keep a constant watch, travel
at a safe speed and exercise good Situational Awareness at
all times. |

July 1, 2017 - Boating Safety - Storage of Flammables
On the evening of July 1st 2017, a 19 foot pleasure craft
suffered an engine compartment fire. The operator of the vessel
was able to extinguish the fire and no one on board was injured.
It appears a cooling system hose had become blocked over the
years with crystallized salt. This appears to have caused
the engine to overheat and increase the temperature in the
engine compartment to cause the emergency release valve on
an empty propane bottle to expel the residual propane. The
owner had installed a new battery and repaired some electrical
components the day before that appears to have caused a spark,
igniting the escaping propane to form a “blow torch”
which subsequently ignited materials lining the engine compartment.
This is a reminder to all boaters to check the integrity of
all intake and cooling system hoses as part of your “pre
trip”. If making repairs to your engine and wiring system,
ensure all parts are ABYC
approved. Finally, do not store flammable containers, full
or empty, in your engine compartment or near any heat source. |

dangerous manoeuvres during the incident. Witnesses captured
the photo below of the pleasure craft “SURVIVOR”.
Constable Matt Poitras of the RCMP West Coast Marine Services

The Vancouver Police Marine Unit has been advised of an increase
in the occurrences of theft of crab and prawn traps and of

back into the water. The act of taking a trap or taking catch
from a trap that is not yours constitutes Theft under $5000
in the Criminal Code of Canada. Ensure you mark your trap
float with your name or phone number, which is not only a
regulation of the Fisheries Act, but will assist in proving
elements required to prosecute trap and catch thieves. If
you observe someone stealing your trap or your catch or suspect
someone of stealing traps or catch, record the suspect vessel
information and obtain photos if safe to do so. Also note
the time and location of the occurrence and report the incident
to the police of local jurisdiction. Case Law R.

June 3, 2017 - Safe Fueling Reminder
In May 2017, an incident occurred at a lower mainland fuel
dock that resulted in a vessel explosion and fire. The vessel
operator fueled his vessel and failed to run the engine compartment
blower and / or open up the engine compartment to vent the
engine prior to restarting his vessel. It appears the vessel
had a leak in the fuel line which filled the engine compartment
with fumes. When the operator attempted to start the vessel,
the fumes were ignited. Quick actions by the fuel dock staff
and a rapid response by the fire department kept the damage
contained to the vessel. Fortunately no one was injured.
-Remember to vent the engine compartment
prior to starting your vessel.
-Keep all passengers off your vessel until the engine has
been started.
-Follow the directions of fuel dock staff.
-Follow all refueling laws and safety procedures. |

Spanish Banks, Vancouver
On May 5th 2017, the Vancouver Aquarium’s Marine Mammal
Rescue Centre crew were called to Spanish Banks to tend
to an injured California Sea Lion. A medical exam of the

rendering him blind. The rounds are believed to be .22 calibre.

hauled out on navigation markers and log booms throughout
