Key facts
- TSB occurrence M11W0171 records the event on 5 October 2011.

- The available official material does not state the casualty or damage outcomes in sufficient detail.
Narrative
On 5 October 2011, the tug Warnoc was tending a log barge in Cleo Bay, British Columbia. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada’s Appendix B entry for occurrence M11W0171 records that Warnoc girded and capsized during the operation. The available official material establishes the vessel, date, location, and event classification, but does not provide a full incident-specific account of the tow arrangement, emergency response, casualties, or damage. No standalone TSB investigation report for Warnoc is identified in the material reviewed. This page therefore does not assign a causal mechanism beyond the reported girding and capsize, and leaves the casualty and loss outcomes unresolved.
