VANCOUVER — The federal Transportation Safety Board says it's concerned that gaps in Canada's preparedness for marine emergencies could pose a risk to vessels, the environment, and the health and safety of the general public.

VANCOUVER — The federal Transportation Safety Board says it's concerned that gaps in Canada's preparedness for marine emergencies could pose a risk to vessels, the environment, and the health and safety of the general public.

The board says Canada does not have a plan to respond to events involving noxious substances other than oil, and it calls for a comprehensive guide to deal with ships rolling or tipping in stormy seas. The Greek-owned container ship rolled and lost 109 containers overboard about 50 kilometres south of Ucluelet, B.C., spilling cargo along Vancouver Island's beaches.
