The Canadian Coast Guard issued a penalty for a hazardous vessel. The owner of the unnamed vessel that was located in Port Hawkesbury failed to comply with the Wrecked, Abandoned or Hazardous Vessels Act. The vessel owner was directed to relocate and stabilize the vessel to ensure that any physical, environmental, or other hazards were eliminated, remedied, or otherwise properly addressed. Vessel owners are responsible to maintain and keep their boats in good working order and properly dispose of the vessel once it reaches the end of its life. To date, the Canadian Coast Guard has reported over 2,000 wrecked, abandoned or hazardous boats.
