Geschichte

This tug was built in 1967 by Star Shipyards (Mercers) Ltd. in New Westminster, BC.

Historische Notizen

In 1989 this vessel towed a 6000 tonne caisson from North Vancouver BC to Prince Rupert BC Canada. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada reports that "on 28/12/1999 While berthing the barge "Juneau" in Seattle, the chief mate from the tug "Seaspan Pacer" fell overboard.

He was trapped between the barge and the dolphin and sustained serious injuries. In spite of a prompt response by the crews of the tugs and emergency units, he did not regain consciousness and was declared dead upon arrival at a local hospital."
