- Danish Maritime Accident Investigation Board
-
The Danish Maritime Accident Investigation Board is an independent unit under the Danish Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs.
We investigate maritime accidents and accidents to seafarers on Danish merchant and fishing ships as well as accidents on foreign merchant ships in Danish Waters.
Purpose
Our purpose is to bring to light the circumstances relating to the accidents with the aim of preventing accidents.
We communicate knowledge about accidents. This knowledge is used by the fishing and merchant industries as well as the Danish Maritime Authority in order to prevent accidents.
Marine accident reports are issued in case of serious accidents and/or when lessons can be learned.
The aim of our investigations is not to establish legal or economic liability.
About us
The Board consists of five investigators - one of which is the Head of the Division.
We have a broad maritime and technical background, or example as navigators and engineers.
