Guidelines for Collecting Maritime Evidence, Volume 1

Published by the Nautical Institute, this guide addresses how evidence should be gathered following an accident or incident at sea, written to serve the many different parties who may become involved: ship's crew, investigators, insurers, surveyors and legal professionals.

Across ten chapters it sets out perspectives from state safety inspectors, masters, P&I insurers, surveyors, lawyers and claims brokers, and covers the collection of both physical and digital evidence, supported by practical checklists for common incidents such as collisions, pollution and cargo damage.

Recommended reading for ship's officers, fleet managers and anyone likely to be involved in evidence collection after a maritime incident.
