1. Introduction
Indian waters, including the EEZ serves as one of the busiest shipping routes in the
world. A large number of vessels, of different types, ages, nationalities, laden with wide range
of cargoes, some of which are hazardous in nature, traverse the area 24x7 daily. In addition,
the domestic coastal ships, offshore vessels, fishing vessels, inland vessels, etc. add to the
existing global traffic in the area. It may also be noted that around 95% of India’s foreign trade
by volume and about 70% by value is sea-borne. All this poses a multi-fold risk in Indian
waters, which is not only due to high traffic density but also due to the increasingly complex
nature of ships and the cargoes in the area. Hence it becomes imperative, that in case of any
marine casualty swift and appropriate action is taken to ensure damage and/or loss to life,
property and environment due to the casualty is minimised.
The SOP entailed below are concise and clear instructions which need to be followed
under the circumstances to ensure that all stakeholders are informed in due time and loss due
to the casualty is minimised.
2. Background
Section 358 of Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 as amended, defines a ‘shipping casualty’
as, when on or near the coasts of India, any ship is lost, abandoned, stranded or materially
damaged; or on or near the coasts of India, any ship causes loss or material damage to any other
ship; or any loss of life ensues by reason of any casualty happening to or on board any ship on
or near the coasts of India; or in any place, any such loss, abandonment, stranding, material
damage or casualty as above mentioned occurs to or on board any Indian ship, and any
competent witness thereof is found in India; or any Indian ship is lost or is supposed to have
been lost, and any evidence is obtainable in India as to the circumstances under which she
proceeded to sea or was last heard of.
The casualty investigation code defines ‘marine casualty’ as an event, or a sequence of

events, that has resulted in any of the following which has occurred directly in connection with
the operations of a ship i.e death of, or serious injury to, a person; or loss of a person from a
ship; or loss, presumed loss or abandonment of a ship; or material damage to a ship; or stranding
or disabling of a ship, or the involvement of a ship in a collision; or material damage to marine
Page 4 of 22
infrastructure external to a ship, that could seriously endanger the safety of the ship, another
ship or an individual; or severe damage to the environment, or the potential for severe damage
to the environment, brought about by the damage of a ship or ships. However, a marine casualty
does not include a deliberate act or omission, with the intention to cause harm to the safety of
a ship, an individual or the environment.
Hence, one of the most important aspect in any marine casualty is the place of
occurrence of the marine casualty, as action required would vary depending upon the place of
occurrence of the casualty. This SOP identifies different jurisdictions under difference
circumstances depending upon the place of occurrence of the casualty, and identifies specific
actions which are required to be taken under those circumstances.
This SOP identifies ‘marine casualty’ basis if it has happened on ‘Indian Flag vessels’
or ‘Foreign Flag vessel’; and if it was in ‘Indian waters’ or ‘Outside Indian water’; and if the
casualty was accidental or non-accidental. For ease of understanding, Please refer to Section 4
for the flow charts.
Section 5 of the SOP lists the action required to be taken at ‘DG Comm Centre’ under
different conditions and also entails officer responsible for specific actions where necessary.
There after sections lists actions required to be taken by the specific officers.
3. Receipt of information regarding Casualty
‘DG Comm Centre’ is manned 24x7 and is the first point of contact in case of any
marine casualty involving ‘Indian vessel’ or ‘any vessel in Indian waters’ or ‘any Indian
national’. Casualty information may be received from different sources such as Ship owner,
Ship Manager, RPSL, Agent, Master, Crew, Port Authorities, Foreign Flag Administration,
Families of crew, and other Public Authorities such as Navy, Coast Guard, Customs.

different circumstances of the casualty. Actual contact would be determined as per the applicable
section of this SOP.
