Building on the\u00a0preliminary statistics<\/a>\u00a0published in March\u00a02020, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) today released its 2019 annual statistical summaries on transportation occurrences in the\u00a0air<\/a>,\u00a0marine<\/a>,\u00a0pipeline<\/a>, and\u00a0rail<\/a>\u00a0sectors.<\/p>\n

Air<\/p>\n

Overall, the number of air accidents has been decreasing over the last decade. However in 2019, a total of 226\u00a0air accidents were reported to the TSB. This represents a 12% increase from the previous year\u2019s total of 201\u00a0accidents, but is also 12% below the average of 258 reported in the prior 10\u00a0years from 2009\u20132018.<\/p>\n

The 2019 overall air accident rate of 3.7 per 100\u00a0000 hours flown is above the 2018 rate of 3.3\u00a0accidents, but below the average rate of 4.9\u00a0accidents over the past 10\u00a0years. Additionally, the accident rate specifically for Canadian-registered aircraft has fallen from 6.<\/p>\n

3\u00a0accidents per 100\u00a0000\u00a0hours flown in 2009 to 3.7 in 2019, a reduction of 41%.<\/p>\n

The TSB recorded 33\u00a0fatal air accidents in 2019 that resulted in 70\u00a0fatalities. This is a considerable increase from 2018, which saw 23\u00a0fatal accidents resulting in 38\u00a0fatalities, and is higher than the corresponding averages of 30\u00a0fatal accidents with 52\u00a0fatalities over the last 10\u00a0years (2009\u20132018).<\/p>\n

Marine<\/p>\n

In 2019, 267\u00a0marine accidents were reported to the TSB, a decrease from the 2018 total of 289 and below the 10-year (2009\u20132018) average of 298. The number of \u201cshipping accidents\u201d decreased to 207 from the last year\u2019s 232. However, with 60\u00a0accidents reported, 2019 saw a slight increase in \u201caccidents aboard ship\u201d from the 57 reported in 2018.<\/p>\n

Seventeen\u00a0marine fatalities were reported, which is down from the 22\u00a0fatalities reported in 2018, but still above the annual average of 15.2 in the 2009\u20132018 time period. Twelve of the 17\u00a0marine fatalities in 2019 were fishing-related; and the data indicates that more needs to be done to improve safety in the commercial fishing industry, which has been on the TSB\u2019s\u00a0Watchlist<\/a>\u00a0since its inception in 2010.<\/p>\n

Pipeline<\/p>\n

In 2019, there were 48\u00a0pipeline transportation occurrences reported to the TSB, none of which were accidents. This number is below the average number of occurrences for the previous 10\u00a0years, which saw on average 132\u00a0occurrences.<\/p>\n

Of the 48\u00a0reported occurrences, 20\u00a0involved a release of product. This level of product release is far lower than the average of 96 per year over the previous 10\u00a0years.<\/p>\n

There were no accidents, serious injuries or fatalities arising directly from the operation of any federally-regulated pipeline in 2019. There have been no fatal accidents on a federally regulated pipeline system directly resulting from the operation of a pipeline since the inception of the TSB in 1990.<\/p>\n

Rail<\/p>\n

In 2019, 1246\u00a0rail accidents were reported to the TSB, up from the 2018 total of 1169, and a 17% increase from the previous 10-year (2009\u20132018) average of 1064.<\/p>\n

The main-track accident rate in 2019 was 3.<\/p>\n

3\u00a0accidents per million main-track train miles, up from 2.6 in 2018 and 42% above the 10-year average of 2.3.<\/p>\n

Rail fatalities totaled 72 in 2019, up from 57 reported last year and approximately the same as the previous 10-year average of 73. Crossing accident related fatalities totaled 28 in 2019, up from 19 in 2018 and trespasser fatalities totaled 38, up from 34 in the previous year. Five\u00a0rail employees were fatally injured, which is above the 10-year average of 2\u00a0employee fatalities.<\/p>\n

The TSB is an independent agency that investigates air, marine, pipeline, and rail transportation occurrences.<\/p>\n
