Extract

Marine traffic can be defined as the combination of individual ship movements in a specified area and the ‘quality’ of marine traffic depends in the first place on the human and technical quality of the vessels participating. The second important situation is in the rules and regulations by which the individual vessels are bound. In some areas these two conditions seem inadequate to guarantee an acceptable level of marine traffic safety. An adequate yardstick by which to measure this level of safety is however still lacking.
