Incident evidence packs: CCTV plus impacts plus NMEA 2000 in one timeline

They hinge on timeline and context. What happened, when it happened, what the vessel was doing, and what the crew did next. In passenger and commercial operations, you do not want to assemble that story from separate systems after the event. You want a single time-synchronised record. What an

Preparing for Workboat Code 3: MGN 436 Compliance and WBV Management in Practice
Police patrol boat navigating rough seas, typical high-speed workboat subject to MGN 436 WBV monitoring requirements Workboat Code Edition 3 is in force. Existing vessels move across at the next renewal, or by three years after 13 December 2023, whichever is later. The first big milestone date is 13 December 2026. MGN 436 is guidance. The legal duties sit in the Merchant Shipping vibration regulations. Workboat Code Edition 3 then makes WBV and repeated shock control a real-w
