Marine Casualty Investigation Code

The Marine Casualty Investigation Code is a set of international guidelines designed to ensure that investigations into maritime accidents are conducted thoroughly and systematically. Its purpose is to improve safety at sea by analyzing the causes of incidents like shipwrecks or collisions, identifying shortcomings, and recommending preventive measures. The code aims to provide transparent and consistent procedures for investigating accidents, which helps in understanding what went wrong and how similar incidents can be avoided in the future, ultimately enhancing the safety of maritime operations.
