  The Mandarin Arrow was en route from Kitimat, British Columbia, to Duncan Bay, British Columbia, under the conduct of a British Columbia coast pilot. During the approach to a wharf in Duncan Bay, with two tugboats assisting, the vessel grounded approximately 25 metres from shore. The pilot notified the authorities, while the master and crew carried out damage assessment. Approximately 55 minutes later, the vessel refloated on a rising tide and was berthed at the wharf without further incident. The vessel remained alongside the berth while temporary repairs were completed. No injury or pollution was reported as a result of this occurrence. However, the Mandarin Arrow sustained extensive damage to her shell plating.
