Marine Accident Investigation Branch
http://www.maib.gov.uk/home/index.cfm
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.
