Marine accidents

Marine accidents are unexpected events involving ships or boats that can cause damage, injuries, or environmental harm. They can result from storms, mechanical failures, human errors, or navigational mistakes. Common types include collisions, groundings, fires, and sinking. These incidents often threaten lives at sea, disrupt shipping routes, and risk pollution of oceans. Safety protocols, proper maintenance, and careful navigation are essential to prevent accidents. Though they are relatively rare considering global maritime activity, when they occur, they can have serious consequences for people, property, and the environment.
