Marine transportation safety investigation report

Statistical summary: Marine transportation occurrences in 2014

Foreword

This document provides Canadians with an annual summary of selected marine safety data. It covers commercial vessels, which include all vessels registered or licensed to operate commercially. Pleasure craft occurrences are not normally included unless they also involve a commercial vessel. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) gathers and uses this data during the course of our investigations to analyze safety deficiencies and identify risks in the Canadian transportation system.
