Sydney Harbour, renowned for its stunning views and vibrant activity, is also recognized as an “extremely busy” waterway frequented by a myriad of recreational and commercial vessels, including large ships and high-speed ferries. NSW authorities emphasize the importance of vigilance in this bustling marine environment, noting, “The risk of collision is much higher on the harbour.”
Boaters are urged to remain alert for other vessels, swimmers, and potential hazards, and to be prepared to take evasive action if necessary. “Slow down to travel at a safe speed and maintain a safe distance,” the guidelines recommend.
As the community mourns this loss, anyone with information related to the incident is encouraged to reach out to Crime Stoppers.
