A near miss involving two passenger ferries, a group of kayakers in difficulty, and a yacht running aground during the Autumn League sailing event in Cork Harbour were just some of the incidents reported last year to the Marine Casualty Investigation Board (MCIB).

In its annual report for 2022, the MCIB said it commenced investigations into 11 marine casualties last year, none of which involved loss of life.
