Marine Accident Analysis Center (MAAC)

MAAC carries out accidents analysis using expert knowledge of NMRI's researchers when severe marine accidents occur. Moreover, MAAC provides results of accident analysis to the public. If a detailed analysis is needed, MAAC can carry out accident reproduction using experiments and advanced simulation analyses, consequently contributing to the prevention of similar accidents.
