What would happen if a Panamax class tanker were disabled in the Fraser River during high tide and unable to be moved as the tide receded?

The vessel would be towed to safety, either to a berth on the Fraser, at anchor in English Bay, or to a nearby shipyard (Vancouver or Victoria). The transit time for a vessel under tow to clear the river is less than the minimum duration of available tidal windows for safe navigation.
