VANCOUVER — Family members of two men who died when a tugboat sank off British Columbia's northern coast are pushing for federal government action after the Transportation Safety Board concluded the accident highlighted"major systemic issues in the transportation industry."
The safety board is recommending the authority verify eligibility requirements before issuing waivers and implement a process for verifying ongoing compliance. Currently, Transport Canada does not require inspections of tugs that are under 15 gross tonnes, and while the department has a goal of inspecting three per cent of vessels per year, most will go years without inspections or are never inspected at all, Fox said.
Clifford Harvey, the safety board's director of marine investigations, said the probe into the Ingenika sinking determined there were"inconsistencies" in the way safety drills were conducted and they weren't"done in accordance with regulations." " fight for the survivors that are out there that are risking their lives to go on the waters, fight for change. Make sure these recommendations are put in place that protect your loved ones," she said.
