Undeclared dangerous goods — Risk implications for maritime transport

April 2010 · WMU Journal of Maritime Affairs

Joanne Ellis

Dangerous goods that have not been correctly declared when offered for transport have contributed to some serious accidents at sea. Safe handling, stowage, and segregation of packaged dangerous goods cannot be carried out if there is no knowledge of the presence of dangerous goods inside the cargo transport unit (container and/or trailer), or if the goods have been incorrectly declared. Although ... [Show full abstract] undeclared dangerous goods are recognized as a safety issue in the shipping industry, there is little information available on the extent of the risk involved. The study described in this paper was carried out to investigate the extent and potential consequences of the maritime transport of undeclared dangerous goods. Dangerous goods incident and inspection reports and ship casualty data were reviewed and analysed. A generic qualitative model was constructed to illustrate contributing factors and potential consequences in incidents involving undeclared dangerous goods.

A Study of a Collision Avoidance Support System

October 2009

Recently, shipping industries has become required safety ship operation with fewer crews. On the other hand, recent progress of information and telecommunication technologies is remarkable. The industries would also like to employ these technologies to make the ship operation safer and more efficient. In this study, we propose and discuss collision avoidance support system. The support system ... [Show full abstract] proposed in this paper warns the watch officer of the danger and starts planning collision evasion route with the collision avoidance algorithm when the ship faces the risk of collision. Then it shows the most feasible evasion route on main console. For searching the optimal route under collision avoidance support system, this study considers two methods. To evaluate the effectiveness of the methods, some simulations are carried out. In this paper, the details of each method and the simulations that is carried out to evaluate their effectiveness are described.
