Accident Investigation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When an accident occurs in the shipping industry it is normally serious and requires a good understanding of the physical operations, legal position, rules and regulations, and technical designs.

Therefore, MBM Consultancy assists ship-owners and operators from the very first day by determining the Investigation channels (I.C) that will be required to establish a long term defence stand point for their case.

The I.C are slowly developed during a thorough survey of the incident, review of personnel logs, vessel historic data, environmental data, and much more.

MBM Consultancy has experience in dealing with many types of incident investigation and has knowledge and key skills necessary to gather and interpret the facts before the accident. As these facts determine the cause and then MBM can present these facts in a favourable presentation.
