Bridgemans introduced a new SAR vessel, ’úya, (meaning saltwater in the Haisla language) to their west coast fleet. Among its many duties, it will serve as a pilot boat that can push or pull other vessels and help ships navigate coastal waters. ’úya is powered by twin 550-horsepower jet drives and, as an aluminum vessel with a rugged hull that can withstand the impacts of logs and debris, it can be driven onto a beach.
