United States Coast Guard Marine Casualty Investigations

摘要

The investigation of marine casualties has long been one of the several missions of the United States Coast Guard. The Coast Guard's Marine Investigations Program has been a vital arm of its marine safety mission since the establishment of the program's predecessor, the Steamboat Inspection Service, in the 1830s. Today, the Marine Investigations Program accomplishes its mission through the investigation of various incidents and through follow-up activities designed to ensure these incidents are not repeated.
