One transferred to BC ambulance after Harbour Cruise ferry runs aground in Vancouver
VANCOUVER – One person was transferred to the care of the BC Ambulance service after a ferry boat hit rocks in the water just off the coast of Vancouver. The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre says it heard a mayday distress call from the Harbour Princess — a ferry boat operated by Harbour Cruises Ltd. — around 11:30 on Sunday morning after the boat ran aground near Point Atkinston. The rescue centre says it dispatched emergency services, including one Coast Guard aircraft and three coast guard boats, to the scene. It says one person was transported to the BC Ambulance service by aircraft and that it believes one other person sustained minor injuries. The rescue centre says the Harbour Princess was escorted back into Vancouver's harbour under it's own power and has returned to its Coal Harbour berth. The rescue centre did not say how many people were on board, but Harbour Cruise's website says the Harbour Princess can fit 180 passengers. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 3, 2025.
