Key facts

  • TSB occurrence M12W0023 identifies the event and vessel. [1]
  • Tug girded and capsized while towing a barge near Mission; incident year remains disputed. [1]
  • Appendix B dates the event to 2010-02-14. [1]
  • The annex gives 2010; the previously recorded public occurrence date gives 2012. The discrepancy remains unresolved. [1][2]

Narrative

Appendix B of TSB report M18P0230 records that Sea Imp XV girded and capsized while towing a barge in the Fraser River near Mission, British Columbia, on 14 February 2010. Occurrence M12W0023 has an unresolved date discrepancy: the TSB public occurrence record was previously recorded as carrying 14 February 2012, while the annex gives 2010. The incident year remains unresolved; the exact event date is therefore not assigned. Neither the precise towing sequence nor the human and damage consequences are established by the annex. [1][2]

Investigation

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada lists M12W0023 in Appendix B of report M18P0230 on the later George H. Ledcor casualty. The annex supplies historical context rather than incident-specific causal findings. [1] No standalone investigation report was identified in the accessible official and archive searches.
