Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB)

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) is a UK government agency responsible for investigating maritime accidents involving ships and vessels. Its primary goal is to improve safety at sea by determining the causes of accidents and making recommendations to prevent future incidents. The MAIB conducts thorough investigations, analyzes evidence, and publishes detailed reports. While they do not assign blame or legal liability, their findings help enhance maritime safety regulations and practices, benefiting all who use British waters.
