As a collision of ships, stranding or other incident of navigation, or other occurrence on board a ship or external to it resulting in material damage or imminent threat of material damage to a ship or cargo. (The definition follows the wording used in the 1969 Intervention Convention and in UNCLOS.)
How is the term "accident", as used in the previous answer, defined in Schedule 3A to the Merchant Shipping Act 1995?
