MAIB recommendations

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) examines and investigates all types of marine accidents to or on board UK ships worldwide, and other ships in UK territorial waters. The sole objective of MAIB accident investigations is to determine the circumstances and causes of the accident with a view to preserve life and avoid accidents in the future, not to apportion blame or liability.

The BPA passes on the findings of certain MAIB accident investigations (which may have occured in or around port areas) to its members. Using the menus on the left the most recent MAIB investigation reports can be found.
