US EditionRelatives of Lost Fishers Say Lives at Risk without Mandatory Vessel Stability Checks - Halifax
- The Chief William Saulis sank in the Bay of Fundy on December 15, 2020, killing Aaron Cogswell and five other fishers.
- The sinking followed a 2015 capsizing that killed three people and highlighted long-standing calls for mandatory vessel stability assessments.
- A 2023 report by the Transportation Safety Board revealed that the Chief William Saulis was not subjected to a stability evaluation following its modifications, highlighting ongoing safety concerns.
- The board expressed continued dissatisfaction with Transport Canada's handling of a safety recommendation related to vessel stability that has been outstanding for over ten years, a situation that relatives criticize as the federal government neglecting urgent safety concerns.
- This ongoing inaction suggests continued risks for fishers, as stability assessments would help crews load catch safely and prevent vessels from capsizing.
