Firstly, how should a Master react after an incident when several investigating bodies are knocking on the door, all with differing requirements and priorities. Secondly, how can the Master, crew and management ashore be ready to produce the evidence required, much of which demonstrates day-to-day operations and compliance with the ISM Code and applicable statutes.
