There is believed to be significant underreporting of accidents in the fishing industry (see MAIB Annual Report 2017). As a result, the data available to design initiatives to improve safety, and to ensure that vessels which have an incident are safe to go to sea is not available. How can fishers be encouraged to report accidents to address this?
