“…Bounded on the west by mainland China, and on the east by the island of Taiwan, it is a region about 180 km wide by 350 km long, with a relatively shallow average depth of 60 m (Chung et al., 2001). Numerous researchers have studied this area to improve not only fishing, commercial shipping, pollution monitoring and marine rescue, but also to understand the physical processes of air/sea exchange (Chen et al., 2014; Guan & Fang, 2006; Hu et al., 2003; Lin et al., 2013; Shen et al., 2019b; Shiah et al., 2000).…”

The Taiwan Strait (TS; Figure 1) is an important channel for seawater transport and exchange between the East and South China Seas (Chuang, 1986;Jan et al., 2006). Bounded on the west by mainland China, and on the east by the island of Taiwan, it is a region about 180 km wide by 350 km long, with a relatively shallow average depth of 60 m (Chung et al., 2001). Numerous researchers have studied this area to improve not only fishing, commercial shipping, pollution monitoring and marine rescue, but also to understand the physical processes of air/sea exchange (

“…Most of these occurred on the coasts from Taipei to Yilan, Taoyuan to Hsinchu, Yunlin to Tainan, and Penghu. Chou 7 and Lin 9 indicated that the main causes of fishing boats being grounded included mechanical failure, inclement weather conditions, and staff negligence. The difference between commercial vessels and fishing boats was that incidents involving commercial vessels were densely distributed in small areas; whereas, fishing boat incidents were regional.…”

“…Violent weather arising from typhoons and northeast monsoons greatly increases the risk of navigation problems. Some researchers 9,10 have investigated and analysed marine accidents to discover the corresponding contributing factors and have developed a new model to prevent the occurrences of marine accidents. However, Koldemir 11 pointed out that no matter how sophisticated the navigational aids and safety devices are on board ships, and regardless of the level of mathematical planning, computerization, and automation involved in the voyages, human fallibility will always exist and remain the prime cause of accidents in navigable waters.…”

This research aims to discover information underlying the historical records of marine incidents in order to develop an effective marine traffic management system and rescue resource allocation system in the harbours and waters surrounding Taiwan. Data were collected from the official records of the Taiwanese Ministry of Transportation and Communications and the Coast Guard Administration of Taiwan. Data analysis and Google Earth were utilized to determine the locations of the occurred incidents. The results revealed that on an annual basis, the proportion of marine incidents outside of harbours was much higher than the incidents that took place within harbours. The results also showed that the rate of increase for marine incidents significantly decreased outside of harbours, but increased within harbours, both for commercial vessels and fishing boats from 2005 to 2009. Certain events, such as collisions/contacts, groundings/standings, mechanical malfunctions/failures, and fires/explosions accounted for more than half of the occurred accidents. Finally, the identification of incident locations provides visual evidence to elucidate precisely where the problems are and where rescue resources should be optimally allocated. Recommendations and implications for marine traffic management policy were discussed.

“…In recent years, maritime literature has paid particular attention to oil spill and prevention studies. (Lin et al,2013;Santos et al,2013;Knol and Arbo,2014;Huntington et al,2015;Aguilera et al,2016;Liao et al, 2012;Afenyo et al, 2017;Ivanova,2011;Castanedo et al,2006;Palsson et al,2018). Moreover, a number of studies have focused on emergency preparedness in the supply chain (Markmann et al,2013;Kwesi-Buor et al, 2016;Asgari et al,2015;Pitilakis et al, 2016;Wood et al, 2002;Hale and Moberg, 2005).…”

This paper proposes a hybrid approach, including Fuzzy Dematel (FD) integrated with Discrete Event Simulation (DES), to predict emergency preparedness levels on-board ships. The FD used critical factors that affect emergency preparedness to conduct a DES based on real firefighting drill records collected from 45 merchant ships. The simulation results showed the average duration of on-board drills in ideal conditions (27.47 min.), in the worst-case scenario (51.49 min.), for Ship A (29.99 min.), and Ship B (28.12 min.). Based on the findings, recovery actions linked to the factors have been recommended to promote on-board implementation. The proposed model is of great importance to shore-based managers, allowing them to monitor the emergency preparedness level of the fleet continuously, even during pandemics. Further studies are planned to develop a remote monitoring system that would digitalize the existing response procedures in emergency situations.
