Introduction
Maritime operations are inherently complex, with a strong emphasis placed on protecting marine environments and ensuring the safety of all personnel at sea. Despite stringent controls, marine accidents remain a persistent challenge, leading to vessel damage, operational disruptions, and far- reaching effects on both human life and ecological systems. The aftermath of such incidents extends beyond physical loss, impacting environmental integrity and overall maritime safety. To effectively investigate these accidents, professionals must possess in-depth knowledge of international maritime regulations, particularly those set by the IMO. Thorough investigations involve structured processes such as site inspections, evidence collection, and detailed interviews, all aimed at uncovering root causes. These efforts play a vital role in promoting safer maritime practices, ensuring compliance with global standards, and preventing the recurrence of similar incidents.Objectives
