Abstract
Formal safety assessment (FSA) is a systematic formal and integrated assessment approach and has various applications to many fields. In this paper, FSA methodology is applied to traffic risk assessment in Fujian coastal waters and harbors, among of which traffic risks are quantified by means of concept of relative risks. From FSA analysis, we conclude that ship collision and contact take the first place among accidents, while the consequences of accidents occurred in typhoon and fog seasons are the most serious. As to accident causes, seafarers and natural conditions make the most important contribution to accident occurrence, and small boats are involved in accidents most frequently. Thus, such targeted proposals are provided finally as the implementation of grid management, focus on seafarer training and management of small shipping companies, etc.
