Accidents, including serious injuries, should be reported to the MAIB by the quickest possible means to enable inspectors to commence investigating before vital evidence decays, is removed or is lost The role of the MAIB is to contribute to safety at sea by determining the causes and circumstances of marine accidents and working with others to reduce the likelihood of such accidents recurring in the future The MAIB also publishes safety flyers, which are published at the same time as an investigation report but which promulgate the safety lessons specifically to the relevant sectors of the marine community Any requests for information received by MAIB are answered in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 or the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 Marine Accident Investigation: MAIB on Twitter
