17 Feb 2016 / Boston, USA
No deep draft vessels should transit Boston’s North Channe, after a tug boat sunk in the vicinity of Boston’s North Channel Buoy #2 yesterday (16 February).
The Coast Guard attempted to locate the sunken vessel yesterday using an ROV/sonar but was unsuccessful due to weather conditions. A salvage plan is being prepared.
The Coast Guard is in the process of finalising a safety zone around the area of the sinking that will in essence prohibit transit in of area without the permission of the Captain of the Port until the location of the vessel can be identified.
The South Channel is not affected.
