  Collisions

The MMS investigates collisions and provides reports describing the circumstances surrounding the incidents with the ultimate goal of prevention through safety alerts. Most incidents involve everyday operations and duties, but an unsafe act or condition may cause a worker to lose his life. By providing brief descriptions of each collision, MMS is trying to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

Here, we summarized each of the collisions for years 1995 to present. This report is based on information contained in the MMS Technical Information Management System. However, some data details may not be available because investigations are ongoing.

Click on the yearly breakdown of OCS collisions below to see general details, including causes for both Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Region and Pacific (PAC) Region incidents and to learn from these incidents.
