SURVEY ON NAVIGATIONAL AND NON-NAVIGATIONAL ACCIDENTS: STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND RISK ASSESSMENT

Abstract eng:
The most important concern in the maritime field is the safety of ships at sea. The improvement of marine safety is always a target for all involved stakeholders. The concern augments in the case of ships that carry cargo that is harmful to the environment and in the case of passenger ships that carry thousands of lives. The paper investigates the linkage between the types of accident and other factors that are important determinants of maritime transport risk, like ship size and ship age. The risk assessment of the transportation with Greek ships is being used in order for the safety level of Greek shipping to be adequately estimated. The investigation is based on a database of accidents involving Greek ships from 1992 to 2005.
