    Default You're pulling my leg !

    "Marine Insurers and analysts have advised seafarers and navigators in particular that vessels are more likely to go aground when approaching ports or the shore!"

    After working 60 years in the marine industry afloat and ashore can you believe I never knew that, gawd save us from intelligent people!!

    Maybe it may not have been politically correct to mention "due to poor training & lack of expeirence " (it has become increasingly obvious that more vessels may run aground or have a (CRASH)modern term for a collision while entering or leaving port.

    I have noticed in American courts and some websites a collision is referred to as an 'allisition' resulting from an incident, what is an allisition outside of American talk.
