“…They concluded that local traffic density and pilotage turned out to be two main factors affecting the risks in the Istanbul Strait. Aydogdu et al (2010) designated the most hazardous areas and identified the dangers regarding vessel traffic in the southern entrance to the Istanbul Strait. Erol and Başar (2015) analysed safety of life and economic loss in marine accidents occurring in the Turkish Straits using decision trees.…”

Marine accident analysis is important for ships passing through narrow, shallow and busy waterways. This study analyses the accidents which have occurred in the Istanbul Strait and proposes both quantitative and qualitative assessments of marine accidents. Marine accidents occurring in the Istanbul Strait are analysed by using a method based on neuro-fuzzy and genetically optimised fuzzy classifiers. It can be concluded that accident severity increases when poor weather conditions prevail in the Strait regardless of ship size. Therefore, solutions to reduce unwanted events should be prioritised by accounting for weather conditions and the capacity of the vessels. This analysis indicates that the safety level would be significantly improved if all the vessels follow the passage guidelines.

“…Size of Ship (SS): Vessel size has a significant impact on safe navigation in the Strait due to the sharp turns and narrow waterways (Aydogdu et al, 2010; Yurtoren, 2004). There is a limitation based on length of vessel such as escorted passage, day and night passage or one-way traffic in the Maritime Traffic Regulations for the Turkish Straits Region, (IMO, 1994).…”

The Istanbul Strait is a challenging waterway for maritime traffic due to its rough topology, moderate to severe environmental conditions, and heavy local traffic. In particular, a total of 232 maritime accidents took place there between 2000 and 2011. In this study, generic fuzzy analytic hierarchy processes were used to assess the risk perception of stakeholders in the Istanbul Strait, including ship captains, maritime pilots and Vessel Traffic Services operators. These risk perceptions were then compared to the statistical maritime accident data, revealing a fundamental discrepancy between the risk perception and statistical data. Specifically, the area of the Straight with the highest number of accidents is perceived as relatively low-risk, whereas areas perceived as high-risk experience a lower number of accidents. Our results have implications for stakeholders as well as government agencies responsible for the safety of the Straight.

“…In the previous studies (Aydogdu, 2006;Aydogdu et al, 2008Aydogdu et al, , 2010, traffic flow was investigated and eight main Origin Destinations (OD) were defined as main routes for local marine traffic. The probability of collision and near misses were calculated/ simulated for each OD.…”

The Istanbul Strait is one of the most congested waterways in the world and is difficult to navigate due to its ‘S-shaped’ geographic structure (Akten, 2004). Much of the local marine traffic affects navigation safety. Results of Yurtoren and Inoue (2004)'s study, which investigated navigational risks in the Istanbul Strait in terms of manoeuvring difficulties and accident statistics, indicates the necessity of effective and applicable local traffic management in the southern entrance of the Strait. In this study, Marine Traffic Fast Time Simulation (MTFTS) studies are used and an attempt is made to improve navigation safety by proposing Local Traffic Separation Schemes (LTSS).
