Collisions at Sea
Collisions at sea occur when two vessels accidentally collide, often due to human error, navigational issues, or poor weather conditions. These incidents can lead to severe consequences, including damage to the ships, injury or loss of life, and environmental harm from spills. The legal and financial implications can be significant, as maritime laws govern liability and compensation. Investigations follow to determine fault and prevent future accidents, emphasizing the importance of communication, adherence to maritime rules, and safety measures among vessels at sea.
