Transportation Safety Board investigates grounded barges in Victoria
VICTORIA — The Transportation Safety Board has deployed investigators to examine two barges that ran aground along Victoria’s waterfront.
The barges were grounded earlier this week when cables attaching them to a tug snapped in high winds.
Board spokeswoman Rox-Anne D’Aoust says one barge that was loaded with a crane has been towed to shore and the other is grounded in a remote location.
She says the two investigators will interview the owners and crew of the barges and gather information about the weather and sea conditions before the vessels ran aground.
