SET2 - Guidelines for Collecting Maritime Evidence - VOL 1 & 2

This series explains what electronic evidence is, how to preserve and collect it, and how it can be used to understand the circumstances that led to a maritime incident. Together, the volumes provide all that mariners need to know about fulfilling evidence requirements while protecting a multitude of interests and without compromising safety and the environment. These books provide Masters, officers and crew the knowledge to collect, secure and preserve evidence, consistent with the ISM code and other regulatory requirements. In volume 1, a state safety investigator, Master, insurer, surveyor, lawyer and arbitrator each describe evidence collection from their own expert perspective, highlighting the use and challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) and the need to protect evidence from disclosure in case of future dispute or litigation. In volume 2, specialists discuss the roles of the average adjuster and the mariner lawyer, covering evidence collection from the P&I perspective and that of the naval architect, considering subjects as diverse as fire, deterioration of agricultural cargoes, machinery failure and surveying.
