XQ. 189) What is stranding ?
XDifference between stranding and beaching?
Stranding means when a vessel has run aground, it is accidental. In consequence, the double bottom area of the vessel will probably suffer considerable damage, especially if the ground is rocky. This is physically the same action as beaching, but with the significant difference that beaching the vessel is an intentional action and under comparatively controlled conditions, whereas stranding is accidental. Circumstances will vary with different ships,but selecting a convenient position to ‘set down’ will in all probability never arise. In consequence, the double bottom area of the vessel will probably suffer considerable damage, especially if the ground is rocky.
The method of procedure to follow on stranding can only be an outline, when one considers how circumstances may vary. Here are some guideline to follow:
Prepare records in time series on the matter at the time and after the accident.
If another ship is responsible for the accident (e.g. illegal navigation), confirm the name of the ship, ship owner, operator, Master, port of registry, last port, and next port, and tender a claim notice
