There were 169 occurrences reported to the Administrator during 2024. These have been classified by the primary incident types and are shown on the chart below as a percentage of the total occurrences reported during 2024. These include primary incident type which would normally be classified as marine casualties or marine incidents but have been classified as occurrences due to their specific nature and circumstances. There was a significant increase in 2024 in the number of serious injuries and safety of navigation related incidents.
The former can be attributed to the number of passenger vessels within the RMI-registered fleet and includes serious injuries, which were not connected to the operation of the vessel, and did not involve an RMI-documented seafarer. The increase in the number of safety of navigation related cases can be attributed to instances whereby RMI- registered vessels failed to abide, or conform, to internationally recognized recommended routing measures.
