An investigation into a 2022 Toronto ferry boat crash has uncovered a number of safety deficiencies that could have led to a dire situation in other circumstances. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) says its investigation found a number of issues, particularly around passenger safety and emergency preparedness. The Sam McBride ferry collided with the dock as the vessel approached the Jack Layton ferry terminal on Aug. 20, 2022, leaving 20 people injured.

Séguin-Bertrand said that the investigation also uncovered several “safety deficiencies” related to passenger safety management and emergency preparedness. For example the vessel had just six crew members on board, fewer than the 13 recommended by Transport Canada for the Sam McBride back in 2009.  There were approximately 910 passengers on-board when the crash occurred.

“The investigation determined that if there had been a fire on board or a need to evacuate the vessel, there would not be enough crew members to effectively respond. Crew members would have to be in two places at once,” Séguin-Bertrand said.

The CalMac Wemyss Bay to Rothesay, MV Argyle, takes only half the passengers of the Sam McBride (450) but has 12 crew, always.
