In the Virgin Islands, the reporting of marine accidents is regulated by the Merchant Shipping Act of 2001 and the Merchant Shipping (Accident Reporting and Investigation) Regulations of 2020.
This service allows you to access published investigation reports from the Marine Safety Investigation and Reporting Authority (MSIRA). These reports contain findings, safety lessons, and recommendations from marine accident and incident investigations, helping to improve maritime safety and prevent future occurrences.
This service allows mariners, vessel operators, and the public to quickly report any marine accident, incident, or unsafe practice that occurs within Virgin Islands waters or involves a Virgin Islands–registered vessel on an international voyage. Prompt reporting helps the Marine Safety Investigation and Reporting Authority (MSIRA) secure evidence, begin investigations, and identify root causes to prevent future accidents.
