Investigations conducted by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) are complex since an accident rarely results from a single cause. In the case of the August 2022 striking of berth of passenger ferry Sam McBride in Toronto, Ontario, which resulted in 20 passengers sustaining injuries, several factors led to the accident. The four findings below detail the causes and contributing factors that led to this occurrence.
