3. Part Two Maritime Accident Report • Introduction • Although all necessary precautionary measures to prevent accidents may have been taken, it is not always possible to eliminate accidents altogether during a voyage. There are various kinds of accidents such as personal injury and loss of life, fire, accidents caused by maritime perils, etc. When accidents happen, reports should be written out.

4. Maritime accidents include stranding, striking upon rocks or shoals, collision between ships, collision due to ice, fog or darkness, etc. , and sinking due to a sea peril. If accidents of this kind should happen, the master or his officers should make out accident reports, giving full particulars of the facts leading up to the accidents. As the ascertainment of liability for the accidents and the assessment of damages depend much on these reports, they should be made out with great accuracy and copies sent to the owners, agents and other interests concerned while retaining one on ship’s files for reference purposes.
