The view looking down the Douglas Channel from Kitimat, B.C. Tuesday, June, 17, 2014. Charges have now been laid against a tug and barge company in northwestern British Columbia and a senior company official two years after a tug sank south of Kitimat, killing the captain and one crew member.
Court documents show a total of eight counts have been laid against Wainwright Marine Services and James Bates, the president of Bates Properties Ltd., which includes Wainwright Marine as one of its operations. Fifty-eight-year-old tug captain Troy Pearson and 25-year-old crew member Charley Cragg died, while a third crew member survived, when the tug Ingenika went down in a storm in February 2021 while towing a barge.
The Transportation Safety Board initially completed a brief probe of the sinking but after a 10,000-name petition was submitted by Pearson’s widow, the case was expanded to a Class 3 investigation, meaning it “may have significant consequences that attract a high level of public interest.”Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.The board’s website shows the investigation is now in the report phase, but a release date has not yet been scheduled.
