The Canadian Coast Guard maintains 24-hour availability at its Sea Island hovercraft base in Richmond, British Columbia by using two craft in tandem. The older of the two craft, CCG Penac, is scheduled for replacement in a 5-year $27.3 million program. Upon entering service, the new hovercraft will take over as the primary Search and Rescue response unit and the current primary hovercraft, CCG Siyay, will become the back-up.
