Canadian Coast Guard Inshore Rescue Boat Stations Open Across Quebec
May 21, 2025 Quebec, Quebec - The Canadian Coast Guard's Inshore Rescue Boat stations in Quebec will open on May 28. They are located in Saint-Anicet (Lac Saint-Francois), Vaudreuil (Lac des Deux Montagnes), Beaconsfield, Longueuil, Sorel and Trois-Rivires. Inshore Rescue Boat stations are crewed by post-secondary students hired and trained by the Canadian Coast Guard. They provide primary maritime search and rescue service during the busy summer recreational boating season. Ashore, the Canadian Coast Guard's Marine Communications and Traffic Services centres provide marine safety communications, while the response to each search and rescue case is coordinated by the Maritime Rescue Sub-Centre in Quebec. Waterways remain very cold at this time of year and take much longer to warm up compared to the air. Transport Canada's Safe Boating Guide is an excellent source of information in preparation for the recreational boating season. On water, emergencies can be reported 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, toll-free (within Canada) at 1-800-463-4393, or via marine VHF radio - channel 16.

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.
