Transport incident involving watercraft
Marine accident, maritime disaster or maritime incident refers to a transport accident involving watercrafts.
Writer William Langewiesche, in a 2018 Vanity Fair article, stated a statistic that in every two or three day period, a commercial ship sinks, and usually those ships are characterized by employees who make insufficient wages and companies which do not have sufficient safeguards; he added that the ones that sink are often registered to flag of convenience countries.[1] He stated that maritime incidents often result from multiple factors, just as aviation accidents and incidents do.[1] Langewiesche stated in 2018 that “Disasters at sea do not get the public attention that aviation accidents do, in part because the sea swallows the evidence.”[1]
