Notes:

Occurrence statistics comprise Canadian-flag vessels as well as foreign-flag vessels in Canadian waters.
The Accident Rate pertains to Canadian commercial vessels ¡Ý15 gross registered tons.
For international voyages, vessel kilometres are calculated within the 12 nautical mile limit.
In the year 2000, Statistics Canada made a change to the treatment of domestic tug and barge movements; and therefore longer term comparisons of activity can not be made.
Injuries include both serious and minor injuries.
Vessels lost include constructive total losses.
For reportable accident and incident definitions, see Transportation Safety Board Regulations Web site:http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/C-23.4/SOR-92-446/72208.html.
The Accident Rate pertains to Canadian vessels over 15 gross registered tons
