Improving legal standards in marine accident investigation activities

Improving ship safety through accident investigation is important for preventing similar casualties and incidents in the future. The analysis is made of an institutional framework at international level and of the activities of the International Maritime Organization and European Maritime Safety Agency in developing a common methodology for investigating maritime accidents. In author’s opinion current significant differences between marine incident investigation activities and databases resulting from various legal systems support the need for establishing a comprehensive legal framework as a response mechanism. Proposals are made to facilitate to all the states involved to conduct the marine casualty investigation, analysis and reporting in accordance with recognized best practice and to facilitate the implementation of improved environmental standards based on standardized casualty-related data.
