This book made a major contribution to assist not only Masters but all those potentially involved in the collection of evidence to better understand what evidence should be collected, how the evidence should be collected and to what use the evidence would be put. The book quickly became a standard reference across the industry. The book has now been revised and updated and the second edition has undergone a slight name change - 'The Mariner's Role in Collecting Evidence'. This video is not intended to replace the book, but rather to complement it. The video explains, using many real life examples, why it is important to collect the evidence.
Contemporary evidence is of the utmost importance.
It is vital to make a note or report of any incident immediately if possible while it is still in progress. Photographic or video evidence is of particular assistance to the judge or arbitrator in trying to establish the true facts. The video underlines that truth.
