Relatives of lost fishers are warning that without mandatory vessel stability inspections, maritime risks persist after fatal sinkings previously claimed lives. Despite ongoing appeals from safety boards, regulatory improvements remain stalled, heightening fears among affected communities. Urgent government action is demanded to safeguard those at sea.
The safety board had been calling for mandatory stability assessments since a capsizing in 2015 killed three people.
HALIFAX - Relatives of Nova Scotia fishers who died in a 2020 sinking say it's frustrating to see that little progress has been made on a key safety recommendation requiring assessments of vessel stability.
