## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Maritime, Shipping & Transport](https://ailawframework.com/practice/maritime-shipping-and-transport.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From voyage data recorder extracts, AIS tracks, deck logs, ECDIS screenshots and crew accounts already recorded, build a time-stamped table of each vessel’s position, course, speed, lights and actions, and map each phase of the encounter to the steering and sailing rule that may apply. The tool writes nothing in any crew evidence. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer, with a nautical expert, decides which rules applied at each phase, assesses each vessel’s compliance and the apportionment arguments, and uses the table to brief the expert and prepare the case; crew evidence is taken in the crew’s own words. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From voyage data recorder extracts, AIS tracks, deck logs, ECDIS screenshots and crew accounts already recorded, build a time-stamped table of each vessel’s position, course, speed, lights and actions, and map each phase of the encounter to the steering and sailing rule that may apply. The tool writes nothing in any crew evidence.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer, with a nautical expert, decides which rules applied at each phase, assesses each vessel’s compliance and the apportionment arguments, and uses the table to brief the expert and prepare the case; crew evidence is taken in the crew’s own words.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check each time stamp against the source data and reconcile time zones and clock offsets.
2. Confirm the rule mapping with the nautical expert, not the tool.
3. Confirm the table is not used as or turned into a witness statement.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
