QUEEN CHARLOTTE, B.C. — The company that owns a floating fishing lodge that ran aground in British Columbia near the Haida Gwaii village of Queen Charlotte says it poses no current environmental threat.
In a news release, HaiCo says it’s still unclear how its Westcoast Resorts’ Hippa barge anchored at Alliford Bay came loose from its mooring Saturday night with one staff member aboard.
It says after drifting over several hours toward Skidgate Inlet, the barge became beached and fractured its hull.
HaiCo says no diesel has leaked and there is no impact to the marine environment, however that could change with the tides.
