It should never be foreseeable to passengers that they might have to make a ferry accident claim for injuries sustained while at sea. However, it is all too often the case that accidents occur where a ferry operator should have foreseen the incident.
As such, it can be wise and enlightening for would-be ferry passengers to make some simple investigations into a ferry operator's safety record before embarking on any boat journey.
For example, before even booking a ticket aboard a vessel, it can pay fruit to check an individual ship's safety record, which offers such information as a ship's general health and hygiene record.
There are many different ferry operators encompassing hundreds of companies and countries across the world. Because of this the situation of investigating ferry safety can be more complex.
However, using a search engine such as Google can shed valuable light on important information such as if vessels used by a particular ferry company have been involved in safety incidents or, indeed, precipitated ferry accident claims and no-win, no-fee compensation payments.
When boarding a ferry, particularly in some developing countries, it may become apparent that the ship is perhaps overloaded with passengers. In such cases it can pay to adopt a cautious approach as such instincts can often prove right.
For example in recent years there have been tragedies in a number of countries, including a 2010 accident in Indonesia in which a ferry overturned, killing 10 – and in Bangladesh, where overloading is common, when 12 were killed in an overloaded ferry accident.
Furthermore, although all vessels should have their own, it can also be prudent to always bring a personal first-aid kit aboard any seagoing vessel. A first-aid kit may include things such as antacids, bandages, painkillers and antiseptics.
