No collision investigation

Maritime insurance claims are my forte... I've handled zillions of them, there's a book on board each and every vessel, this book has the contact for the ships P&I rep in each port in the world. A captain of a container vessel, if he had a discussion with another ship at sea about a collision, that captain would report that matter to those of concern, the ships owner, the ships agent and the ships P&I representative for the port to which he was sailing to. Does this make sense?

There is no doubt in my mind, no collision occurred.
