Anecdotes
On 21/07/2009 this vessel was capsized and turned turtle by a barge in tow in Skookumchuk Rapids. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada states that "The Transportation Safety Board of Canada states that "" "The North Arm Venture is a conventional coastal tug of steel construction. The navigation bridge is located on the fore part of the main deck. There is a conning position in the wheelhouse with steering and engine controls, another on the wheelhouse top with similar controls—allowing an unobstructed view in all directions—and a third steering position alongside the towing winch. All three positions are equipped with an abort switch for the tow line. The tug has two propellers in Kort nozzles 2 and two rudders. On the main deck is a galley, a mess area and a cabin for the master. The deckhouse is fitted with watertight doors port and starboard. One deck below and forward in the forecastle is a cabin for the mate and two deckhands. An escape hatch is located on the deckhead of the forecastle; this exits just forward of the navigational bridge. The North Arm Express is a steel barge fitted with a reinforced flat deck and bow ramp. The barge can carry petroleum products in tanks within the hull, and general cargo on deck. The barge has a pump room and a fuel transfer manifold."
