Fish farmind vessel grounded in Tahsis Inlet

The 'Ronja Islander' hit a rock and began taking on water on the evening of March 8, 2025, in the Tahsis Inlet. The Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria received a call for assistance from the vessel, which had suffered some damage and started taking on water. There were no fish on board the ship at the time of the incident. The Canadian Coast Guard’s Tahsis lifeboat station deployed the CCGS 'Cape Dauphin' and the station’s fast rescue craft to escort the fish carrier. The vessel’s pump was able to keep up with the water ingress. The crew were able to adjust the ballast to raise the damaged area above the waterline. The ship was then able to make its way to the West Coast Marine Terminals in the Gold River under its own power. The Transportation Safety Board was made aware of the incident. The MMFN was getting updates from Grieg Seafood.
