Maritime Accident and Incident Investigation

Maritime Accident and Incident Investigation covers a wide range of topics relating to maritime-orientated  organisational hazards and risks, as well as root cause analyses and  techniques for analysing evidence. Its approach to maritime casualty and  incident investigation caters to the unique needs of the maritime  industry and covers the human element, machinery and engineering, and  structural and security concerns.

The book is divided  into four parts, which respectively introduce the concepts and theories  of organisational risks and hazards; provide a framework structure for  planning, initiating, performing, and closing out maritime casualty and  incident investigations; provide an overview of the main forms of  analyses; and offer a toolkit of forms and documents for preparing and  carrying out incident investigations.

Features:

• Focuses  on basic principles independent of particular software or protocols,  allowing customisation to the reader’s own management system, Health,  Safety and Environment (HSE) programmes, or related initiatives
• Supports  the reader in applying class-related activities such as the provisions  of the ISM Code and the International Ship and Port Facility Security  (ISPS) Code

The book is ideal for  trainees, advanced students, and junior maritime professionals involved  in the investigation of maritime accidents and incidents.
