Marine accident investigation

Marine accident investigation involves carefully examining what happened when a maritime incident, like a collision or sinking, occurs. Experts analyze all relevant information—such as vessel data, weather conditions, crew actions, and communication records—to determine causes and contributing factors. The goal is to understand the sequence of events, identify safety lapses, and recommend improvements to prevent future accidents. The process is thorough, objective, and aims to enhance maritime safety for crews, vessels, and the environment.
