The Marine Safety Equipment and Training Initiative (MSET) was part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to improve safety for Indigenous vessels that are active along the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMX) marine shipping route. The initiative provided funding for equipment and training to eligible Indigenous communities to improve vessel safety and build an understanding of safety on the water.
You can find information on how the Initiative responded to the TMX as an accommodation measure by visiting the TMX website.
Our goals
- To manage the potential safety risks from increased tanker traffic, and interactions with Indigenous vessels
- To improve safe navigation practices and increase marine safety awareness
- To respond to concerns about the safety of Indigenous mariners who may have increased interactions with tankers along the TMX marine shipping route
How it works
Through MSET agreements, Transport Canada provided over $4M in grant funding between 2022 and 2026 to 24 eligible Indigenous groups along the TMX marine shipping route.
This funding supported eligible communities to improve vessel safety and build an understanding of safety on the water.
