2022 Toronto harbor ferry collision caused by insufficient crew, inadequate training, and inaccurate passenger counting; TSB calls for stricter regulations and improved procedures.

The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) report on the 2022 Toronto harbor ferry collision found insufficient crew, inadequate training, and inaccurate passenger counting among safety deficiencies. The Sam McBride ferry, carrying 916 passengers, collided with the mainland ferry docks when the vessel's captain operated it faster than usual, running behind schedule. The TSB called for stricter regulations and recommended training in crowd management, better oversight of evacuation procedures, and improved passenger counting methods to prevent similar accidents.
