Abstract

Given the growing commercial practice of ship to ship transfers, the safety of these operations is becoming increasingly important.

A regulatory and evaluative assessment of the UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) investigation of ship to ship transfer-related accidents is carried out, together with a further examination of how independent investigations ought to evolve.
