Maritime Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB)

The Maritime Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) is a UK government organization responsible for examining ships and marine accidents to determine their causes. Its goal is to improve safety by understanding what went wrong, without assigning blame. The MAIB conducts thorough investigations into incidents like collisions, groundings, or machinery failures at sea, and then publishes reports with findings and safety recommendations. This helps prevent future accidents, protects lives, the environment, and enhances maritime safety standards worldwide.
