A collision between a container ship and a pleasure craft in Vancouver\u2019s English Bay late Sunday morning has prompted the deployment of a team of federal investigators to the scene.<\/p>\n

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) confirmed that the incident involved the container ship Ever Sigma and occurred at around 11:20 a.m., southeast of Lighthouse Park near the southern tip of West Vancouver.<\/p>\n

According to the Vancouver Police Department (VPD), its marine unit received an emergency alert about the crash at approximately 11:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the VPD said the pleasure craft began taking on water following the impact. Two people on board were rescued by a police patrol vessel and brought safely ashore.<\/p>\n

The damaged vessel was subsequently towed to Eagle Harbour for haul-out after emergency teams carried out dewatering and stabilisation operations, as reported by a TSB spokesperson.<\/p>\n

In a notice of deployment, the TSB said that investigators have been sent to the Port of Vancouver to examine the circumstances surrounding the collision.<\/p>\n

The Port of Vancouver stated on social media that there were no injuries and that the incident had no impact on port operations.<\/p>\n

The VPD has since handed over the investigation to the Transportation Safety Board, which will determine the cause of the collision.<\/p>\n
