Description: Navigational safety is the state of a marine traffic engineering system, related to accident-free conduct of a ship towards its destination, maintaining required movement parameters, i.e. it is the state of the system related to accident-free performance of specific manoeuvres in a restricted area.
The safety of navigation on sea waterways, particularly on port waterways, is the basic factor limiting the expansion of ports and operations of bigger ships in ports. Navigation risk is a criterion of navigational safety assessment allowing its accurate estimation in port waterways. Methods of navigation risk estimation and analysis is one of the major issues in shipping today.
The themes of this monograph include modern engineering problems of marine traffic engineering, focusing on what this discipline deals with: navigational safety assessment methods. These include:
• criteria of assessing navigational safety in restricted areas,
• navigation risk, as a complex criterion of navigational safety assessment in waterway systems,
• models of navigation risk determination used worldwide,
• conditions of safe operation of ships on waterways determined by using navigation risk,
• minimum safe tug assistance on port waterways,
• navigation risk management in waterway systems with a description of a computer program for model-based tests of navigational safety on Southern Baltic waterways.
