Marine Safety Investigation Branch (UK)

The Marine Safety Investigation Branch (MSIB) is a part of the UK government responsible for investigating marine accidents and incidents. Its primary goal is to improve safety at sea by understanding what went wrong and making recommendations to prevent future occurrences. The MSIB examines all kinds of marine incidents, including accidents involving ships, fishing vessels, and offshore installations. Through detailed investigations, they analyze factors like human error, equipment failure, and environmental conditions, ultimately aiming to enhance safety regulations and practices in the maritime industry. Their work helps protect lives and the environment in UK waters.
