The Confidential Human Incident Reporting Programme (CHIRP Maritime) has provided an independent and confidential safety reporting system for incidents, accidents, and near misses at sea to seafarers worldwide since 2013.

Raising awareness, improving safety

Reports are received directly from seafarers and analysis is published on CHIRP's website and in its Maritime FEEDBACK paper publication in the languages most spoken by seafarers (English, Chinese, Filipino, Indonesian, and several others) to raise awareness of incidents and contribute to improved safety across the maritime industry.

The Seafarers’ Charity has been a proud funder of CHIRP for the past three years and awarded a £60,000 grant in 2021 to support the core costs of running the programme for an additional year.
