CHIRP currently receives confidential incident reports from professional and amateur participants in the maritime sector, both from within the UK and overseas and across all disciplines. On being received, reports are validated as far as is possible and reviewed with the objective of making the information as widely available as possible whilst maintaining the confidentiality of the source.
The annual digest is separated into sections as follows:
Health and seafarer welfare;
Fishing, tugs, yachting and recreation;
Engineering, technical, environment and regulation;
Deck safety, deck operations, and cargo operations;
Collision regulations and navigation;
Safety culture;
Pilot boarding and pilotage.
