The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB)

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) is a UK government agency responsible for investigating accidents and incidents involving ships and boats. Its main goal is to improve maritime safety by understanding what went wrong and preventing future occurrences. The MAIB examines various factors, including human behavior, equipment failure, and environmental conditions. After investigations, they publish detailed reports that highlight lessons learned and recommend safety improvements, which are shared with the maritime community to enhance navigational safety and protect lives at sea.
