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 the Transportation Safety Board definitions of reportable accidents and incidents, please see http://www.tsb.gc.ca/en/stats/marine.
  1. Small vessels are 150 gross tonnage (GT) or less. The TSB estimates that the majority of vessels of unknown tonnage are under 15grt, and these vessels are identified.
