The 2026 Concentrated Inspection Campaign is a crucial initiative by Transport Canada to address specific areas of concern in the Canadian domestic fleet.
This campaign will focus on various vessel types over 15GT that have been certified by Transport Canada or Canadian Recognized Organizations.
By conducting concentrated inspections, Transport Canada aims to improve safety and encourage vessel owners to comply with regulations.
The goal of this year's campaign is to review a vessel's condition regarding fire prevention and the crew's preparedness in case of a fire on board.
Transport Canada inspectors will examine engine room maintenance, storage of flammable materials, and crew knowledge of their duties if a fire were to occur.
This concentrated inspection campaign is part of Transport Canada's efforts to better understand how well vessels comply with regulations and improve safety outcomes.
The campaign will take place between June 1 and September 1, 2026, and will focus on ensuring compliance with the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 and its related regulations.
