  The Japan Transport Safety Board (JTSB) has been established as an independent permanent organization by integrating the Japan Marine Accident Inquiry Agency (JMAIA) and the Aircraft and Railway Accidents Investigation Commission (ARAIC), in order to prevent recurrences and to mitigate damages caused by accidents. The causes of these accidents are investigated through objective/scientific processes.

  The safety of high standard in aviation, railway and shipping is always significant, and I recognize that their operations of the highest safety are demanded by the public.
  Therefore, the JTSB conducts thorough investigations to clarify the causes of accidents/incidents for the sake of the prevention of recurrences. The results of an investigation are compiled into an investigation report, which is submitted to the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and is also publicized.

  Moreover, when deemed necessary, the JTSB provides recommendations or opinions to the relevant ministers and/or parties involved in the accident, concerning the necessary measures to be taken.

  In this website, the outcomes of our investigations are available, and I hope this information will be useful to transport safety.
