Maritime Collision Investigation
Two vessels from a fatal collision at sea, scanned so the impact could be reconstructed and the crews' accounts tested at inquest.
VIDEO · MODEL VIEWER TO FOLLOW
01 · Brief
An objective reconstruction needed both boats as accurate 3D models, with the damage from the high-speed contact recorded exactly as it was.
02 · Toolbox
- Leica RTC360
- Sony digital cameras
03 · On location
We flew out to the boats where they lay, on deck and on the quayside, and scanned and photographed both hulls and the damage to each.
04 · Result
Precise digital assets of both vessels, used in marine accident analysis software to reconstruct the collision and test the witness statements during the inquest.
