V93.0: Accident on board watercraft without accident to watercraft, not causing drowning and submersion : merchant ship
The term "Accident on board watercraft without accident to watercraft, not causing drowning and submersion: merchant ship" refers to a specific kind of accident that does not lead to the sinking or submerging of the watercraft, nor does it result in the drowning or submersion of those on board. More specifically, this code is used to classify accidents that occur on merchant ships. These incidents may encompass a wide range of situations, from minor mishaps such as slips and falls on wet or uneven surfaces, to more serious events like machinery malfunctions or accidents during loading and unloading procedures. Said accidents, despite not resulting in drowning or the sinking of the ship, can still lead to physical injuries, including strains, fractures, or cuts, and require subsequent medical attention. This classification does not propose any presumptions about the severity of the resultant injuries. It merely serves as an incident categorization tool.
