answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2015 answer text <p>MAIB reports are published at the earliest opportunity to ensure that safety lessons can be applied as soon after an accident as possible. All investigations are different with complex cases requiring more time, so average reporting times can be misleading. The recent grounding of the Hoegh Osaka in the Solent, and the tragic loss of eight seafarers when the Cemfjord sank in the Pentland Firth are two recent examples that demonstrate this. Where urgent safety lessons are identified at any time during an investigation the Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents can issue a Safety Bulletin containing recommendations.</p><p> </p><p>The average length of time between the date of the accident to the date of the publication of MAIB’s report for each of the years is:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>1990</p></td><td><p>No accident investigation reports published</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1991</p></td><td><p>25.5 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1992</p></td><td><p>17.3 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1993</p></td><td><p>16.5 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1994</p></td><td><p>21 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1995</p></td><td><p>16.3 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1996</p></td><td><p>16.9 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1997</p></td><td><p>16.9 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1998</p></td><td><p>18.8 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1999</p></td><td><p>10.1 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2000</p></td><td><p>11.4 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2001</p></td><td><p>10.3 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2002</p></td><td><p>11.9 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2003</p></td><td><p>10.4 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2004</p></td><td><p>7.1 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2005</p></td><td><p>10.2 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2006</p></td><td><p>8.2 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2007</p></td><td><p>8.6 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>8 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>8.5 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>8.7 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>8.9 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>9.3 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>10.8 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>10.1 months</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p><p>to date</p></td><td><p>10.7 months</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 11/03/2015 16:12:37 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
