On the emergency tow vessel Atlantic Eagle, the coast guard tested new technologies and ran through scenarios for cleaning a large vessel in the event of an oil spill. It worked in partnership with the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation.
“Marine training exercises are an opportunity for us to practise a scenario with response partners like WCMRC, and then apply lessons learned to any potential future real life situations,” Canadian Coast Guard spokesperson Kiri Westnedge said in a statement.
“By working together, we can help to ensure the safety of mariners and protect British Columbia’s marine environment for all Canadians,” Westnedge said.
