- Investigate the possibility of casualty occurrence
- Consider and examine safety of large container ship structure
The Panel has met six times so far over the course of its investigation, and is currently consolidating its findings and observations into a report, which is scheduled to be released simultaneously in both English and Japanese on the ClassNK website ( www.classnk.com) by the end of September.
