“…A maritime accident is an unpredictable and unusual event that occurred due to an unknown matter or is an uncommon effect of a common cause [7]. Usually, when occurring, a naval accident has a negative impact on environment, society, and economy [8].…”

Black Sea Naval Accidents – Intervention Management

Most of the global trade is carried by sea as the Earth surface is covered more than ¾ with water. For commercial purposes, the size of ships has continuously increased; thus, the space for cargo and passengers became more generous. Though, this leads to higher risks: reduced maneuverability, especially in narrow or confined waters, more costly intervention in case of an accident and consistent relief actions. When naval accidents affect the property, human life and environment are severely affected. To reduce the risk of accidents or curb their effects when produced, all stakeholders involved in shipping must obey the provisions of international regulations related to the safety of ships operations, collision avoidance, pollution prevention, and so on. Along with enforcing international regulations in the field, effective management of intervention in the case of an accident has to be adopted. This paper presents the influence of environmental factors in the western Black Sea basin on naval accidents, along with considerations related to the system of intervention in the case of distress situations or accident in the Romanian sector of the Black Sea.

“…The current need in the discipline of safety science is to develop new techniques that can predict 'how' an accident may take place with reasonable accuracy. Such deficiency is identified in previous studies by Awal [35], Awal and Hasegawa [36][37][38][39][40][41]; these studies developed a new concept called Logic Programming Technique (LPT).…”

“…A literature review revealed that accident theories and models can be classified in various ways. Some classification examples can be found in Qureshi [1], Khanzode et al [2] and Awal and Hasegawa [3,4]. However, in this study the following classification of accident theories and models are considered:…”

Since the invention of the steam engine, many engineering innovations have propelled the human civilization forward and the society has changed dramatically. At the same time, accidents of various kinds (e.g. car, rail, aircraft, ships, industrial, etc.) have never stopped taking place. Hence, for any engineering and socio-technical system, safety has become one of the most important concerns in modern society. In order to understand the science of accidents, some notable accident theories and models were reviewed in this paper and their relative merits and demerits were discussed as well. The study finds that accident models and theories are diversified and different from each other. Therefore, the science behind accident cannot be unified into a single discipline. Also, changes in human civilization over the years have given birth to new modes of accidents (such as automobile, aircraft, spacecraft and etc.). This study, thus, searches the unified science of accidents and therefore, discusses the newly developed accident analysis technique called the Logic Programming Technique (LPT). It is expected that this new domain of safety engineering may contribute to achieving safety in the future automobile industry.

“…Moreover, taking into account the traffic densities during each condition and its frequencies, the correlations between sea/wind/visibility conditions and the numbers of accidents are very weak as found in Reference [8]. Alternatively, the authors of Reference [11] demonstrated that the general maritime safety approach is reactive and that accidents cannot be predicted. In real time, collision and grounding risk depends on the traffic configuration represented by the number of sailing vessels and their locations, relative speed and course to each other and to near objects and their maneuverability such as the stopping distance [12] as well as the tactical diameter, maximum advance and track reach defined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).…”

The continuous growth in maritime traffic and recent developments towards autonomous navigation have directed increasing attention to navigational safety in which new tools are required to identify real-time risk and complex navigation situations. These tools are of paramount importance to avoid potentially disastrous consequences of accidents and promote safe navigation at sea. In this study, an adaptive ship-safety-domain is proposed with spatial risk functions to identify both collision and grounding risk based on motion and maneuverability conditions for all vessels. The algorithm is designed and validated through extensive amounts of Automatic Identification System (AIS) data for decision support over a large area, while the integration of the algorithm with other navigational systems will increase effectiveness and ensure reliability. Since a successful evacuation of a potential vessel-to-vessel collision, or a vessel grounding situation, is highly dependent on the nearby maneuvering limitations and other possible accident situations, multi-vessel collision and grounding risk is considered in this work to identify real-time risk. The presented algorithm utilizes and exploits dynamic AIS information, vessel registry and high-resolution maps and it is robust to inaccuracies of position, course and speed over ground records. The computation-efficient algorithm allows for real-time situation risk identification at a large-scale monitored map up to country level and up to several years of operation with a very high accuracy.
