The Angus Reid Institute conducted an online survey in October 2018, among a sample of 2,250 Canadian adults, asking them about their perceptions of the marine shipping industry. This most recent public opinion poll builds on a benchmark study on public attitudes about the shipping industry first conducted in March 2016.

Results of the study show that Canadians see marine shipping as an important industry that is growing in significance. Most Canadians believe shipping to be safe, but oil spills still rank high on the list of safety concerns associated with the industry. Overall, the results of this study show that Canadians are generally confident in the rules and regulations governing marine shipping in their country.
