    1. ) The main difference between an accident and an incident report is the severity
    of the event and its consequences. An accident report usually involves a more
    serious event that results in significant damage, injury, or loss of life. On the other
    hand, an incident report usually refers to a less serious event that did not result in
    any significant damage, injury, or loss of life. For example, a car collision resulting in
    a fatality would be considered an accident report, while a minor fender-bender would
    be considered an incident report.

    2. ) Incident and accident reports are written to document and provide a detailed
    account of an event or situation. These reports serve several purposes, including
    identifying the cause of the incident/accident, helping to prevent future
    incidents/accidents, and ensuring that proper procedures were followed.

    3.) When writing an accident or incident report, it's important to include detailed
    information about the event, including the date, time, location, and specific details of
    what occurred. This includes any equipment or materials involved, any injuries or
    damage sustained, and any actions taken in response to the event. It's also
    important to include any witness statements or other relevant information that may be
    useful in understanding the event.

    4.)Three maritime scenarios leading to accidents and incidents are:

     Collision with another vessel: This can occur when two vessels are traveling too
    close to each other, or when one vessel fails to yield to another vessel's right-of-
    way.
     Grounding: This occurs when a vessel runs aground on a shallow area of water
    or on a submerged object.
     Fire or explosion: This can occur due to a variety of reasons, including
    equipment malfunction, human error, or fuel leaks.
    5. )
    All three scenarios listed are true and are well-known causes of accidents and
    incidents in the maritime industry. Collisions with other vessels, grounding, and
    fire/explosions are among the most common types of maritime accidents and
    incidents. Each of these scenarios can have a range of causes, including human
    error, equipment malfunction, weather conditions, and other factors, and each has
    the potential to result in significant damage, injury, or loss of life. As such, it's
    important for those working in the maritime industry to be aware of these risks and to
    take appropriate precautions to prevent such incidents from occurring.
