Marine surveys can document hull condition, equipment, machinery, structural components, visible deterioration, repairs, modifications, and deficiencies at a particular point in time. A Marine Expert Witness may compare successive surveys with photographs, maintenance records, repair documentation, and later inspections to evaluate how the documented condition of a vessel or other marine asset changed over time.
The location, extent, and form of corrosion can provide information about environmental exposure, protective coatings, material condition, maintenance, water intrusion, and deterioration over time. A Marine Expert Witness may examine inspection findings, thickness measurements, photographs, maintenance histories, and material information to evaluate how corrosion corresponded with the condition or performance of the marine asset. Detailed analysis of corrosion mechanisms or structural capacity may require materials or engineering expertise.
Maintenance histories, inspection reports, operating logs, equipment specifications, repair records, photographs, alarms, communications, prior deficiency reports, and post-incident examinations can help establish documented equipment condition and use. A Marine Expert Witness may compare these materials chronologically to identify changes, maintenance activity, or reported problems before the incident without assuming that any single record establishes the cause of the event.
Marine environmental conditions can influence vessel movement, loads on structures, corrosion, equipment exposure, underwater visibility, access, stability, and the feasibility of particular operations. A Marine Expert Witness may compare documented tides, currents, waves, salinity, weather, and other environmental information with the vessel, equipment, structure, or activity being evaluated to assess their technical significance.
Underwater photographs, video, diver observations, sonar or survey information, measurements, inspection records, and repair documentation may show corrosion, damage, displacement, biological growth, deterioration, or other conditions below the waterline. A Marine Expert Witness may compare these materials with drawings, prior inspections, and maintenance histories to evaluate the documented condition of submerged components and identify changes over time.
