The Maritime Department of the Swedish Transport Agency reports annual statistics and remarks concerning reported accidents and incidents that involved Swedish merchant and fishing vessels as well as vessels used for purposes connected to merchant shipping. The report primarily covers events that the ship’s master is required to report to the Maritime Department according to Ch. 6, §14 of the Swedish Maritime Code. In addition to master’s reports, information about the accidents and the course of events is taken from the records of the ship’s maritime declaration hearing as well as reports from surveyors with the Safety Inspection Area, the Swedish Coast Guard and the police.

The report also covers maritime accidents that occurred in Swedish waters involving Swedish and foreign vessels during the calendar year of which the Maritime Department became aware.
