Most investigations functions involve incidents which can be thought of as issues or occurrences that require some type of action by the Administration. They can be events which directly involve the ship such as a casualty, contravention or an oil spill. They may be personnel related such as a death or an injury, failure to properly perform duties, crew grievance or an act of fraud or misconduct. There also may be an interaction between incidents such as a shipboard explosion that injures a seafarer or improper navigation that results in a vessel grounding. Other incidents may relate to more generic issues such as embargoes, treaties and tariffs.
