West of England P and I

The descriptions of the accidents and the lessons learned are
intended, among other things, to deepen the reader’s understanding and appreciation of risk. Many of the incidents appearing in MARS have complex underlying and interconnected issues that are not necessarily
discussed. It is not within the scope of MARS to sound the depths of all the contributing factors of each incident, but to highlight some of the most salient points and encourage discussion. In short, MARS Lessons Learned is a curated information sharing service for the betterment of the maritime industry. Please read and use MARS reports with
discretion. And remember to share your incidents with the MARS team at mars@nautinst.org.
