Safety communications related to TSB investigation M22A0258: July 2022 engine room fire of the passenger ferry Holiday Island
The occurrence
On July 22, 2022, a fire broke out in the engine room of the Holiday Island after a non-standard temporary repair made to the ferry’s fuel injection system failed and caused fuel to spray onto hot engine components and ignite. All passengers and non-essential crew members were safely evacuated, and a large-scale emergency response followed. Despite efforts from responders, the fire could not be extinguished, and the vessel was eventually abandoned.
Findings from TSB investigation M22A0258: July 2022 engine room fire of the passenger ferry Holiday Island
Investigations conducted by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) are complex since an accident rarely results from a single cause. In the case of the July 2022 engine room fire of the passenger ferry Holiday Island, near Wood Islands, Prince Edward Island, several factors led to the accident.
