Flag states putting lives at risk by failing to report bulk carrier casualty investigations
Reports on bulker casualties are not being made public even when lives are lost at sea and the findings could prevent future tragedies. Investigations into 29 of the 53 losses of bulk carriers over 2008-2017 which resulted in the deaths of 202 crew have never been reported to the International Maritime Organization
IMO urged to take action against flag states’ continued flouting of its mandatory Casualty Investigation Code
