This book provides practical guidance on the range of individuals and organisations looking for evidence, what they need and how it will be used. A state safety investigator, Master, insurers, surveyor, lawyer and arbitrator each describe evidence collection from their
own point of view. The benefits and challenges of electronically obtained evidence
are discussed, as is the need to protect evidence from disclosure in
case of future dispute or litigation.
