Flag state performance - report of investigation
submitted to IMO’s GISIS
Lessons learnt from past incidents play an important role in determining
where additional safety improvement is needed.
At the beginning of February 2025, 14 of the 20 bulk carrier losses in this
analysis had investigation reports made available on IMO’s GISIS (Global
Integrated Shipping Information System) database. That represents
65.0% of the total.
The average time from an incident to a report becoming available on
GISIS has been 25.5 months for these investigations, with the shortest
7 months and the longest 44 months.
The following analysis shows those casualties that have been reported
by flag states and appear on the IMO GISIS database.
