Abstract :

Occurrence of a collision event exposes vessel owners and operators, as well as the public torisk. The nature of the threat can be worrisome; it may lead to loss of life, damage to the environment, disruption of operation and injuries. This paper discusses the use of statistical and Probability technique to analyse safety and environmental Risk for aversion of collision accident and efficient navigation of vessels within inland waterways. Also discussed is deduced generic risk mitigation option required for operational, societal, limit definition and technological change decision support fordevelopment of sustainable inland water transportation system (IWTS). The probability per year and accident consequence predicted is considered acceptable in maritime and offshore industry. The result is validated using statistical took.
