The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) is conducting an investigation into a recent air transportation occurrence involving the tug boat Quadrant Partner. The incident occurred in Coquitlam, British Columbia, and the TSB has deployed its team to gather information and evidence. As an independent agency, the TSB's sole focus is on advancing transportation safety, rather than assigning blame or determining liability.

This deployment marks a significant step towards understanding what went wrong and how it can be prevented in the future. The TSB's investigation will examine all aspects of the incident, including the role of human factors, mechanical systems, and environmental conditions. By shedding light on this occurrence, the TSB aims to contribute to the development of safer transportation practices.

The Board's inquiry will also consider recommendations from previous investigations and regulatory actions taken by other agencies. This deployment demonstrates the TSB's commitment to prioritizing safety and transparency in its investigation process. The TSB's team will work closely with stakeholders, including industry representatives, to gather information and insights that can inform future improvements.

As the investigation unfolds, the public will have access to regular updates and reports on the progress of the inquiry. The TSB's ultimate goal is to identify root causes and implement effective solutions to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. By doing so, the Board aims to enhance overall transportation safety and reduce the risk of accidents.

The TSB's deployment to Coquitlam, BC, marks a crucial step towards achieving this objective.
