Analyzing the spatio-temporal characteristics of global maritime ship casualties is the basis for maritime ship traffic planning, risk assessment and prevention. Based on the global maritime ship casualty data from 2000 to 2019, the number of the ship casualties were count by detailed event type, year, and month. Kernel density estimation of four periods were carried out. Sea areas around the English Channel, and the Aegean Sea were the hotspots from 2000 to 2019. The Korea Strait, Gulf of Saint Lawrence, Gulf of Alaska, Malacca Strait, and sea areas near Shanghai were also the hotspots in some of the four periods from 2000 to 2019.
