Risk Assessment of Marine Traffic Safety at Coastal Water Area

Abstract

With the rapid development of the maritime industry, maritime traffic safety management in China is under great pressure. Recently, it is obvious from the safety management on aft-causalities to risk assessment on proactive management of marine traffic at costal water area. According to the investigation of safety situation at coastal water area of China, applied on Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) approach which was held by International Maritime Organization, the characteristics of hazards and accidents at coastal water area were analyzed and some results of risk distribution were held out in quantities. Furthermore, some proposed risk control options (RCO), synergy-based management mode by grid or cell, and long-term strategy in Coastal Water Area were carried out, which included hazard identification, risk evaluation, crisis early-warning, emergency handling and decision-making of RCO.
