Abstract

Marine incidents and accidents are a major concern in the shipping industry, with significant implications for human safety, the environment, and the global economy. Understanding the causes and consequences of these incidents is critical to improving the safety and efficiency of maritime transportation. The paper provides an overview of the various data sources available for the study of marine incidents and accidents, it also discusses the strengths and limitations of each data source and highlights the challenges associated with integrating and analysing data from multiple sources. The paper concludes by suggesting that a harmonized and standardized approach to data collection and reporting could facilitate more effective analysis of marine incidents and accidents and enable the development of targeted risk mitigation strategies.
