Navigational safety is an important issue in maritime transportation. The most frequent type of maritime accident in the port and coastal waters is the ship collision. Although some ship collision models have been developed in the past, few have taken account of wind and sea current effects. However, wind and sea current are critical factors in ship maneuvering. Therefore, based on the previous collision model without wind and sea current effects, this study further develops a ship collision model with wind and sea current effects. Finally, a comparison of the results for the proposed collision model in this study and the ship maneuvering simulator is shown to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed mathematical model in this paper, followed by the conclusions and suggestions given to navigators, port managers, and governmental maritime departments to improve navigational safety in port and coastal waters.

“…Tarek (2009) [22] developed a multiple attribute risk assessment methods of LNG carrier based on the use of fuzzy rules, rule base, and fuzzy inference engine. Chen et al (2018) [23] presented an experimental design methodology of full mission simulation for LNG carriers maneuvering in port water, and this method is demonstrated in detail in the experiment of Meizhou Bay. Wen et al (2013) [24] proposed a method for defining the width of the LNG mobile safety zone based on ship-collision probability and quantitative risk analysis.…”

The transport of liquefied natural gas (LNG) has significant impact on traffic capacity of waterways, especially the approach channels shared by LNG carriers and other types of ships (general cargo ships, container ships, etc.). Few studies take the behavioral characteristics of LNG carriers and their impacts into consideration. In this paper, we propose a framework for capacity analysis of shared approach channels based on the spatial–temporal consumption method. It consists of three modules: (1) the tide module predicts the tidal height and tidal time for identifying the time windows for LNG carriers; (2) the spatial–temporal consumption module is introduced to calculate the capacity of approach channels; (3) the LNG carrier navigation module is for analyzing the characteristics of LNG carriers and the impact on the capacity of approach channels. A spatial–temporal indexed chart is designed to visualize the utilization of the spatial–temporal resources. A case study on the approach channel of Yueqing Bay near the east coast of China is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the framework. The utilization rates of the approach channel and the impact of LNG carriers are presented using our method. The results of the case study indicate that the proposed traffic capacity analyzing framework can provide support for making traffic management strategies.

“…However, the data and parameters specified in the guideline are based on civil building evacuations, and do not take into account the effects on human behaviour of ship movement or family group behaviour, and rarely provide an effective management strategy (Chen et al, 2018(Chen et al, , 2015IMO, 2016;Lee et al, 2003). Compared with the land-based evacuation, evacuating people from crowded passenger ships is a complex and difficult task.…”
