    With a Foreword by Sir Julian Flaux PC QC, Chancellor of the High Court, this book continues the themes developed in the NI’s popular Guidelines for Collecting Maritime Evidence Volumes 1 and 2, by following the dispute resolution process to its conclusion, either in court or in an arbitration or mediation hearing.

    The book’s contributors – mariner expert witnesses, solicitors, barristers, mediators, arbitrators and a retired judge – emphasise the need for the expert to understand that their primary duty is to the court or resolution panel. They must be able to demonstrate their knowledge, independence, integrity and credibility under cross-examination, the authors stress.

    “The book provides a great deal of useful practical advice and emphasises some of the most important aspects of expert evidence, at least from a judge’s or arbitrator’s perspective,” said Sir Julian Flaux.

    “These include that expert reports should be clearly and cogently written, with objective analysis; that the expert is independent from his or her appointor and is an expert not an advocate; that the expert should not stray beyond his or her field of expertise; that expert evidence from the witness box should be given in a dispassionate and non-confrontational manner; and that limiting expert evidence at the trial or hearing to what is in issue is critical, hence the importance of the experts’ meeting and the joint memorandum.”

    John Noble, a Fellow of The Nautical Institute and technical editor of Vols 1 and 2 (2016 and 2019) of Guidelines for Collecting Maritime Evidence, said The Nautical Institute had been most fortunate in acquiring input from a range of experienced contributors who offer advice and commentary on the role and purpose of expert witnesses in the dispute resolution processes.

    “This volume will be read by mariners and others who may be contemplating a career in the dispute resolution fields; equally, many readers will have an interest in developing their wider knowledge in maritime matters,” he said.

    “A key to being a good expert witness is preparation. Readers who have sat professional oral examinations will be only too aware that an unprepared candidate is doomed to fail. Being an expert in the witness box can be a daunting experience, similar to sitting an oral exam. 

    “Increasingly, clients will need to be satisfied that not only has their expert the required expertise, but also holds a good groundwork in the legal processes and some form of formal training may be a pre-requisite. This edition is primarily based on the English legal system simply because its dispute resolution process in maritime matters is highly advanced. Many other jurisdictions base their own jurisprudence on the English legal system,” he stressed.

    MS SeaReader - Catalogue

    SeaReader 1.6 includes many minor changes and bug fixes. New Edition was released September 2023.

    SeaReader is a digital technical catalogue for use on board vessels or in the office. It stores all of the publications that are needed on board and displays them in a digital format that is fast and easy to use.

    New Editions
    Publications that are in the announcements section of the distributor portal will also appear as “New Publications” in SeaReader. They will be at the top of the Catalogue view and be marked with a yellow star.

    Offline Mode
    SeaReader can now operate without any internet connection. The user must provide their distributor with an Activation file from the settings window of a SeaReader client.

    Custom Notes
    Users are now able to add their own custom notes to the publications inside SeaReader. These notes can then be searched for and the user can jump to the page for easy access to important content. Notes can also be exported and shared to other users. This will allow educators to share premade notes with students or shipping companies to indicate important items of text in a publication.

    eBooks are available to purchase individually or in bulk and once installed, the SeaReader is easy to use.

    The digital library is easy to access and update and you don’t need to be online to access the publications. SeaReader makes compliance inspections easy by having the latest mandatory publications on board at all times.
    The shipping costs and administration associated with maintaining a paper library are removed - there are no physical books to ship and the entire library is updated with the click of a button.

    SeaReader contains Flag State Regulations from Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Canada, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Denmark, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Liberia, Malta, Marshall Islands, Netherlands, Norway, Panama, Singapore, United Kingdom, USA and Red Ensign Group. Included e-books from IMO, Brown, Son & Ferguson, Imray, and a growing list of other maritime publishers.

    SeaReader keeps the administrative work on board to a minimum as the latest set of publications are always available.
    The easy to use system makes it quick and easy to see what books are on board the vessel. One annual licence provides access to paid for ebooks on two separate PCs.

    SeaReader is simple, very easy and intuitive to use. With one-click updating and filtered search results, it is quick and easy to find the information you need. There is no need for additional work to make sure your vessel is flag state compliant, as SeaReader does this for you.
