Statistical analysis of ship accidents and review of safety level

Vessel traffic safety in busy waterways: A case study of accidents in western shenzhen port

“…Modelling all the parts and the coupled uncertainty of safety are challenging. Thus for maritime transportation system, safety can be defined as an acceptable state of risk by society (Eliopoulou et al, 2016). The International Maritime Organization (IMO, 2002(IMO, , 2007 promoted Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) as a framework for risk assessment and management.…”

“…For safer shipping, IMO has developed and maintained comprehensive regulatory frameworks such as the international convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers (STCW), and guided the regulatory development within its member states. By thoroughly enforcing these laws and regulations, maritime safety can be expected (Eliopoulou et al, 2016). Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) in China, the same agency as the coastguard in other countries, is the competent authority to enforce the laws and regulations of navigation safety.…”

Proceedings of the International Seminar on Safety and Security of Autonomous Vessels (ISSAV) and European STAMP Workshop and Conference (ESWC) 2019

“…Therefore, the accident data of general cargo ships is used. In the data by Eleftheria et al (2016) there is no distinction between fatalities when the ship was lost or stayed afloat. The lack of data on this subject makes it impossible to determine the cause of the fatalities during collision or contact at this point.…”

“…In order to find the probability of losing life during a collision or contact, data on ship accidents from 2000 to 2012 is used (Eleftheria, Apostolos, & Markos, 2016). The data by Eleftheria et al is a collection and overview of the data available on collisions and fatalities.…”

Effect of Human Behaviour in Shipboard Firefighting Decisions: The Case of Fire in Engine Rooms

“…A fire could appear in any type of ship, such as vehicle carriers, woodchip carriers and gas carriers (Cariou, Mejia & Wolff, ). Relatively high frequency of fire/explosion events has been found for Ro‐Ro cargo ships and fishing vessels (Eliopoulou, Papanikolaou & Voulgarellis, ). Cargo operations in ships carrying special products could expose crew members to various hazards, such as fire and explosion (Celik, ).…”
