OMI - 128F - Code pour les enquêtes sur les accidents

Transform Maritime Safety with the Accident Investigation Code
In the high-stakes world of maritime operations, every incident holds critical lessons that can prevent future disasters. The Accident Investigation Code is the cornerstone of international maritime safety, providing a robust framework for investigating casualties and incidents at sea. This essential publication, adopted by the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC), sets the gold standard for accident investigations, ensuring that every inquiry is thorough, consistent, and focused on preventing recurrence. Whether you're a maritime authority, shipowner, or safety professional, this code equips you with the tools to uncover root causes, implement corrective actions, and uphold the highest safety standards in the industry.

Mandatory Compliance for Critical Maritime Incidents
This code is not just a guideline—it’s a regulatory imperative. Parts I and II are made obligatory through amendments to Chapter XI-1 of the SOLAS Convention, requiring investigations for all "very serious marine casualties," including total vessel loss, fatalities, or severe environmental damage. Part III offers detailed guidance, ensuring investigators have the clarity and direction needed to conduct effective inquiries. By extending the scope of SOLAS I/21, this publication reinforces the global commitment to maritime safety, making it a must-have for any organization operating under international maritime law.

Crafted for maritime administrators, safety inspectors, and industry experts, this publication is more than a regulatory document—it’s a practical tool for real-world application. Its structured approach ensures that investigations are conducted with rigor, transparency, and a focus on actionable outcomes.

For those who prefer digital solutions, a secure, locked version is also available, compatible with the IMO’s free reader, ensuring flexibility without compromising security.
