A quick definition of nautical assessor:

A nautical assessor is someone who knows a lot about boats and ships. They are called to help a judge in a special kind of court case called an admiralty case. The judge needs their help to understand things that are very specific to boats and ships.

A more thorough explanation:

NAUTICAL ASSESSOR

A nautical assessor is a person who is knowledgeable about maritime matters and is called upon in an admiralty case to provide expert advice to the judge.

For example, if a ship owner is involved in a legal dispute over damage to their vessel, a nautical assessor may be called upon to assess the extent of the damage and provide an opinion on the cause of the damage. The nautical assessor may also be asked to provide recommendations on how to repair the damage and estimate the cost of those repairs.

In another example, if a ship captain is accused of negligence in a collision with another vessel, a nautical assessor may be called upon to review the evidence and provide an opinion on who was at fault for the collision.

A nautical assessor is an expert in maritime matters who can provide specialized knowledge and advice to a judge in an admiralty case. The examples illustrate how a nautical assessor may be called upon to provide expert opinions and recommendations in legal disputes involving ships and maritime activities.
