Guidelines for Collecting Maritime Evidence Volume 2 (2nd Edition)

Product Description

This second volume in the Guidelines for Collecting Maritime Evidence series focuses on electronic evidence – what it is, how to preserve and collect, and how it can be used to understand the circumstances that led to a maritime incident.

Data from ECDIS, VDR and AIS are vital resources for the investigator. The book’s contributors are drawn from a wide range of disciplines.

In this volume, they discuss the roles of the average adjuster and the mariner lawyer, cover 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.

The new edition has been thoroughly updated and presents a chapter on the evolving landscape of evidence collection, including the impact of artificial intelligence (AI).
