Accidents and safety

Safety investigations and reports

The NMA publishes and contributes to several annual reports on safety at sea.

Focus area 2024 – psychosocial working environment Too many seafarers are being bullied or harassed at work. Because of this, the Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA) is now looking at the psychosocial working environment in the maritime industry.

Avoid fall accidents – take control Fall incidents is the defined focus area for the Norwegian Maritime Authority for 2023.

Continued focus on safety culture and risk understanding in 2022 In 2022, the Norwegian Maritime Authority will focus on safety culture and risk understanding. This is a continuation of last year's focus and a result of identifying a need to ensure that the initiatives taken will have a greater impact before a new focus area is chosen.

Focus on safety culture and risk understanding in 2021 In 2021, the Norwegian Maritime Authority will focus on safety culture and risk understanding. Causal analyses of accidents often indicate that a difference in the understanding or perception of risk is an important underlying factor.

The majority of these reports are only available in Norwegian
