Quick Facts: The Canadian Coast Guard maintains safe and efficient marine navigation in Arctic waters by providing icebreaking services to the shipping industry and other vessel traffic, and daily ice and operations briefings in the North. Iqaluit's Marine Communications and Traffic Services centre reopened on May 16, 2025, and ensures safe navigation in the region by monitoring Arctic marine traffic, responding to maritime distress calls, broadcasting weather and ice information, and issuing navigational warnings. Across the Arctic, search and rescue training occurs with Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary units to gain extensive local knowledge of specific risks and enhance capacity for search and rescue in the Arctic. The seasonal Arctic Marine Response Station in Rankin Inlet, NU, will reopen on June 25, 2025, to provide local maritime search and rescue services during the summer season. The Arctic MEHR and Monitoring and Compliance teams maintain a permanent presence in the Arctic, with a network of 28 equipment caches, 24/7 standby response for marine pollution incidents in the North, and full-time facilities in Iqaluit, NU, and Yellowknife and Hay River, NT. On Great Slave Lake and the Mackenzie River in the Northwest Territories, the Canadian Coast Guard's two specialized buoy tenders, the CCGS Dumit and CCGS Eckaloo, conduct seasonal buoy tending to help commercial shipping and community resupply along the river, if water levels permit.

WATCH: Helicopter lifts crew to safety from grounded container ship
Canadian sea and air forces safely rescued 20 crew in storm conditions from a container ship that had grounded off the coast of Newfoundland. The MSC Baltic III lost power on the way from Montreal to Corner Brook in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador on Saturday and was unable to anchor in reported 75 mph winds and 20-foot seas about 12 nautical miles from the Bay of Islands. The 679-foot ship later ran aground in Wild Cove west of Lake Harbour, after transmitting a radio mayday call to Canada's Marine Communications and Traffic Services. Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker Henry Larsen and a Cormorant helicopter rescued the 20 crew from the stricken ship. The incident remains under investigation.

Crew rescued after cargo vessel runs aground on Newfoundland's west coast
The MSC Baltic III has run aground near Lark Harbour, N.L. All crew members of the MSC Baltic III have been rescued after their vessel ran aground close to the Lark Harbour shoreline off Newfoundland and Labrador's west coast. Early Saturday morning, the Marine Communications and Traffic Services Centre in nearby Channel-Port aux Basques received a mayday from the cargo ship, around 12 nautical miles (22 kilometres) off the entrance to the Bay of Islands. At that time, the ship reported a loss of power. Conditions were not in their favour. A winter storm warning was in effect in the region at the time of the incident, with winds up to 120 km/h. Ferry crossings to Nova Scotia from nearby Port aux Basques had been cancelled for the day. As such, the crew were unable to secure an anchor, leaving them adrift. According to the Canadian Coast Guard, shortly after losing power the ship ran aground in Wild Cove, west of Lark Harbour, with 20 crew members aboard. Photos and video posted to social media show the vessel against the rocks, close to the cliffs. Premier Andrew Furey confirmed this morning that all 20 crew members had been safely evacuated. The crew were airlifted from the Baltic III via Cormorant helicopter. The Halifax Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre said they were alerted of the full power blackout on the vessel this morning. In a social media post, they said "thanks to 103 and 413 #SAR Squadrons' swift response, all 20 crew were airlifted to safety." The Canadian Coast Guard ship Henry Larsen was in the area and search and rescue aircraft, including a Cormorant helicopter also joined the rescue effort. The incident occurred on the anniversary of the Ocean Ranger disaster, during which 84 men lost their lives. The cause of the lost of power aboard MSC Baltic III is not yet known.
