Save a life, prevent injury and contribute to a more effective shipping community. Share lessons learned from incidents and learn from others by participating in MARS – the Mariners’ Alerting and Reporting Scheme.
MARS is a confidential reporting system run by The Nautical Institute to allow full reporting of accidents and near misses without fear of identification or litigation.
As a free service to the industry, MARS reports also regularly comprise of alerts condensed from official industry sources, so that issues resulting from recent incidents can be efficiently relayed to the mariner on board, making the MARS database a valuable risk assessment, planning and training tool for crew and management.
MARS reports are published in Seaways and held in a publicly-accessible and searchable database at www.nautinst.org/mars.
