TOPs TIP: Marine Accident Casebook

Interesting Website!

The 'Maritime Accident Casebook' was created by Bob Couttie in June 2007. It quickly established itself as an authoritative, credible source, popular among both seafarers and maritime accident investigators.

It continues to provide a voluntary, free resource for seafarers and those who train them, while also providing extra services under premium subscriptions which help MAC continue its work.

Objectives

Sea transportation remains the most cost effective and environmentally friendly way of getting goods from one side of the world to the other, yet it comes with a cost - maritime incidents cost around $1 million a day. Not all incidents are disasters, not all make headlines, but in nearly every case human factors present the most significant element in the incident. The objective of Maritime Accident Casebook is to empower seafarers to keep themselves alive and keep their ships from harm by offering lessons from real world events that they can use in their daily work, whether deckhands or masters.
