Marine Incident Investigations

Marine incident investigations involve systematically examining maritime accidents or issues, such as ship collisions, sinkings, or environmental spills. The goal is to determine what happened, why it occurred, and how to prevent future occurrences. Investigators collect evidence, analyze data, and interview witnesses to understand the factors involved—be they technical, operational, or human errors. Their findings help improve safety standards, regulations, and procedures within the maritime industry. The process is thorough, impartial, and aims to promote safer maritime practices without assigning blame, ultimately protecting lives, property, and the marine environment.
