Safety recommendations

Note: Up to and including 2015 not all safety recommendations were translated into the English language. This particularly applied when no foreign parties were involved. All safety recommendations are available under menu item Publikationen > Sicherheitsempfehlungen.

Safety recommendations of published Investigation Reports

On the occasion of marine casualties the Federal Bureau of Maritime Casualty Investigation publishes safety recommendations. After completion of the investigation these safety recommendations are published together with the investigation report. The investigation reports corresponding to the marine casualties are listed under menu item Publications > Investigation Report.

Safety Recommendations of current investigations

The Federal Bureau of Maritime Casualty Investigation may issue safety recommendations as early alerts independently of the current state of the investigation, if it realizes that urgent action is needed in order to prevent future occurrence of the same or similar marine casualties. The investigation reports are, if a final investigation was carried out, also listed under menu item Publications > Investigation Reports.
