Chapter 9 - Parallel Investigations

  9.1 Where the marine safety investigating State(s) is conducting a marine safety investigation under this Code, nothing prejudices the right of another substantially interested State to conduct its own separate marine safety investigation.

  9.2 While recognizing that the marine safety investigating State(s) shall be able to fulfil obligations under this Code, the marine safety investigating State(s) and any other substantially interested State conducting a marine safety investigation shall seek to co-ordinate the timing of their investigations, to avoid conflicting demands upon witnesses and access to evidence, where possible.
