Notes:

  • Small vessels are 150 gross tonnage (GT) or less. The TSB estimates that the majority of vessels of unknown tonnage are under 15 GT, and these vessels are included.
  • Commercial activities include charter, passenger, towing and commerce-domestic/transborder/international.
  • 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 category was assumed to be the intention of the voyage, when the activity was not reported.
  • Ferry/Passenger/Charter includes all vessel categories engaged in this type of activity.
  • For the Transportation Safety Board definitions of reportable accidents and incidents, please see http://www.tsb.gc.ca/en/stats/marine.
