  1. The TSB estimates that the majority of vessels classified under unknown tonnage are less than 15 GRT.

Notes:

  • During the year 1999, the TSB commenced to capture the vessel's activity (purpose of voyage) at the time of an occurrence.
  • In this table, the vessel type (i.e. fishing) was assumed to be the intention of the voyage, when the activity was not reported.
  • 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.
