From The International Journal of The Nautical Institute, the monthly publication MARS is a confidential reporting scheme by the mariners to protect the mariner. 

MARS is a free searchable database containing reports of accidents and near misses stretching back over a quarter of a century. Funded through the generous support of the Institute's Nautical Affiliate partners, it is one of the maritime industry's leading risk reduction initiatives and is helping to make life safer for seafarers everywhere

MARS reports are collated and published by The Nautical Institute. To access MARS reports, please visit The Nautical Institute.
