Don’t ignore it – report it
Marine incident reporting is a shared responsibility between vessel owners, operators and crew. It plays a vital role in providing information to make vessels safer places to work.
Reporting is essential to maritime safety as it helps paint a more informed picture of the risks affecting the industry. By reporting, you assist to develop more effective safety strategies and advice for regulators, owners, operators, and crew to avoid similar events in the future.
By sharing incident details, you help everyone to:
- respond quickly and efficiently to incidents when they happen
- understand the risks affecting vessel operations
- build a reliable safety database to inform better safety guidance materials.
Every report matters. Not just serious injuries or accidents, but near misses as well.
Even if in doubt, report it.
Your experiences help shape safer practices across the industry. Together, we can strengthen safety culture and prevent future incidents.
Learn more about what to report and how to do so. Your time and effort make a real difference and can save lives.
