IMO - 128Ee - Casualty Investigation Code

Transform Maritime Safety with the IMO Casualty Investigation Code
The IMO Casualty Investigation Code redefines how the maritime industry responds to accidents, setting a global benchmark for thorough, standardized investigations. This 2008 edition, adopted by the Maritime Safety Committee, introduces legally binding protocols for examining very serious casualties—such as vessel losses, fatalities, or severe environmental harm—while encouraging proactive investigations into other incidents. By mandating compliance through SOLAS Chapter XI-1 amendments, it ensures that every flag state adheres to consistent, high-quality investigative practices, driving continuous improvement in maritime safety regulations.

Designed for Investigators, Regulators, and Industry Leaders
Structured into three parts, the code combines mandatory requirements (Parts I and II) with practical guidance (Part III) to support investigators at every stage. From evidence collection to final reporting, it provides a clear framework for uncovering root causes and preventing future accidents. The digital format enhances accessibility, allowing professionals to reference critical protocols on any device, with offline capabilities and controlled printing options. Whether you’re a maritime authority, safety inspector, or industry decision-maker, this code equips you with the tools to turn incident data into actionable safety measures.
