MARINE CASUALTY – WHAT HAPPENS?
• Major gov’t agencies who may investigate marine casualties– U.S. Coast Guard– State Pilot Board– NTSB– Various state/federal environmental agencies– State / federal law enforcement agencies
(criminal conduct)

VESSEL DATA RECORDER: “VDR” Regulatory Authority
• Required by Ch. V of SOLAS• Mandatory on all ships >3,000 GRT built
after July 2002• Annual Performance Test Required• Cert of Compliance to be issued and must
be maintained on board vessel
![Page 5: VOYAGE DATA RECORDERS: “CSI” of Vessel Incidents...VESSEL DATA RECORDER: “VDR” Regulatory Authority • Required by Ch. V of SOLAS • Mandatory on all ships >3,000 GRT built](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062403/6097da0405ff3a6ac14b058b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Stated Purpose – To Be Used Like “Black Box” on Aircraft to:
• Review procedures and instructions used in the moments before casualty
• “help identify the cause of the accident”

What Does VDR Record and Preserve?
• AIS Data (position, speed, cse, cmg, target/traffic data)
• Radar screens• Vhf transmissions• Ambient noise/conversations on the bridge

Old Method of Proving Collision Case
• Recreate your theory of vessel actions using:– Testimony of ship’s crew– Course recorder data– Charted positions– GPS log positions/waypoint– Interpret same data from adverse vessel

New Method – Voyage Data Recorder Feedback
• Actual data from vessel navigation systems is recorded
• Used like “black box” in aircraft casualties• Takes all fun out of litigating collisions• Likely savings in legal fees
