Maritime Safety Data

Safety across the Maritime Transportation System

 

Building on the success of similar safety data programs, the Precursor Safety Data Program is developing SafeMTS, a collaboration with the USDOT's Maritime Administration that empowers industry to voluntarily and confidentially share information about near miss events, which include narrowly avoided collisions or other accidents that could have occurred but did not. SafeMTS helps all participants identify early warnings of safety problems and develop strategies to avoid more serious incidents.
