The offshore marine services report starts with the Vessels details and Background of the “Vessel A” and “Vessel B”. It is followed by the details about the incident that took place between the two vessels. Pursuant to instructions received from Hull and machinery underwriters of the vessel, Constellation Marine Surveyors immediately proceeded to the port of incident to observe the damages.
