Marine casualties: investigate, report, learn
What counts as a reportable casualty, who investigates and what the findings are for
A safety investigation looks for causes, not for culprits, and that distinction is exactly what gets lost on board in the first hours after a casualty. The course settles what a reportable marine casualty is, who investigates, and how evidence is secured without infringing the crew’s rights.
