The Canadian Coast Guard believes on reasonable grounds that the vessel Silver King (100’ steel tugboat, ex-Garnet, ex-Taconnet), currently moored at Deep Bay, B.C. is likely to discharge pollutants in the water. The owner of the vessel is responsible for taking action to remove all risks of pollution at his/her own costs and risks. The Canadian Coast Guard requires any owner or any person with interests in the vessel to contact: Daniel Reid, Senior Response Officer at: 250-480-2640 by: August 1st, 2014 at 12:00 p.m. Failing which, the Canadian Coast Guard will take any action it deems fit in the circumstances, including removal, sale, destruction, disposal of the vessel and its contents, at the cost of the owner.
