The
Investigation of Structural Failures in Ships - A Paper by Jeremy
C Colman
Structural failures in ships can be massively damaging to life, property
and the environment. There is a duty on Naval Architects, regulators
and operators to carry out thorough investigations into such failures
and ensuring that the lessons learnt are recognised and reliable.
This paper discusses methodologies for reliable investigation into
structural failure, the tools available to the investigator and the
skills required. |

The
Loss of the MFV Gaul
This paper sets out to describe one of the most extensive investigations
ever into the loss of a fishing vessel, the MFV Gaul, lost with all
hands in 1974. The background to the paper lies in the original Formal
Investigation held in 1974. Following location and subsequent surveys
of the wreck, the Investigation was re-opened in 2004. |
