COMET is a global leader in AI-powered incident investigation and root cause analysis, helping ports, marine operators and other high-risk organisations uncover the underlying causes of incidents and transform investigation data into prevention intelligence. Founded in Aberdeen and backed by more than 400 years of combined investigative expertise, COMET combines purpose-built AI, advanced technology and a proven investigation methodology to improve investigation quality, identify systemic risks and prevent recurrence.
In the ports and maritime sector, every incident represents an opportunity to learn. From cargo handling and vessel operations to engineering, logistics and terminal activities, COMET enables organisations to capture high-quality investigation data, uncover the factors driving performance issues, and implement meaningful preventive actions that reduce future risk. Rather than focusing solely on what happened, COMET helps organisations understand why it happened, ensuring that learning is embedded across teams and operations.
COMET’s AI capability is uniquely designed for incident investigation and root cause analysis, supporting investigators throughout the process by reducing administrative effort, improving consistency and surfacing patterns that may otherwise go unnoticed. This enables organisations to complete higher-quality investigations more efficiently while building a richer understanding of systemic risk across their operations.
Through its partnership with Port Skills & Safety, COMET is helping to create a connected safety ecosystem across the UK ports industry. By enabling participating ports to benchmark trends, share anonymised learning and harness AI-driven insights from collective investigation data, the collaboration supports a more proactive, intelligence-led approach to safety improvement.
Trusted by organisations across aviation, energy, construction, maritime, rail and utilities, COMET empowers organisations to move beyond compliance and reactive incident management towards continuous improvement, stronger safety cultures and operational excellence. By transforming investigation data into actionable intelligence, COMET helps organisations make better decisions today while preventing the incidents of tomorrow.”
