Aims To improve safety of life at sea To satisfy the public in general, and the maritime community in particular, that marine accidents are properly investigated To fulfil the requirements of the IMO Casualty Investigation Code and EU Directive 2009/18/EC

The sole objective of an MAIB safety investigation of an accident is the prevention of future accidents through the ascertainment of its causes and circumstances. It is not the purpose to determine liability nor, except so far as is necessary to achieve its objective, to apportion blame. Objective

Merchant Shipping Act 1995 and The MS (Accident Reporting & Investigation) Regulations 2012 Inspector powers - Access - Witness/material evidence Investigation and reporting procedures - Confidentiality

MAIB’s remit Marine casualties and marine incidents UK vessels worldwide Other vessels within UK waters Merchant vessels Fishing vessels Leisure craft

Safety investigation stages Notification Preservation of evidence Decision to investigate Deployment and follow-up Final analysis review Safety recommendations Report consultation Report publication
