An investigation into the collision between the 'Florence Spirit' and the 'Alanis' on the Welland Canal nearly two years ago is in the report phase, according to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada communications department (TSB). The 'Florence Spirit' was headed down the canal toward Lake Ontario, and the 'Alanis' headed toward Lake Erie. The two vessels collided starboard to starboard around their anchor ports at 3:55 p.m. on July 11, 2020. None of the 16 crew members on the 'Alanis' and 14 on the 'Florence Spirt' were injured in the accodent which took place south of the East Main Street tunnel, east of Welland’s Memorial Park. The 'Florence Spirit' was damaged on the starboard side, the 'Alanis'suffered bow damage, including a visible hole on the starboard side near the anchor port. Three investigators from the TSB’s Quebec City-based office interviewed crew members on both vessels and downloaded data from the VDR on each ship. The investigation into the incident involves three stages, the first being a field phase whereby investigators conduct interviews and collect information. The second phase is the examination and analysis phase whereby records are reviewed, tests conducted tests and safety deficiencies identified. The third phase is the report phase, whereby a confidential draft report is approved by TSB and sent to persons and corporations who are directly concerned by the report.
