Inland waterway transportation is often regarded as a reliable, congestion-free, economic and environmentally friendly way of transferring goods and people. However, it is worth noting that there are certain bottlenecks such bridge areas, dam areas, busy port areas, curving waterways and shallow waterways which may increase the risk of inland waterway transport. Hence, accidents such as collisions, groundings, capsizes, oil-spills and fires have occurred repeatedly, causing serious consequences and reducing the navigational capability of the waterways with confined channel dimensions. Though techniques for maritime risk assessment such as formal safety assessment (FSA) have been acknowledged to be a possible way to eliminate or reduce the number of accidents and broadly used in the shipping industry nowadays around the world, there are certain challenges existing when an effective risk assessment is carried out due to the uncertainties of data collection and system perception. This paper will introduce a few recent case studies in China, Europe and North America dealing with some of the obstacles in maritime risk studies, e.g. identification of safety critical factors (SCFs) and source assignment in emergency response. With respect to the resilience engineering theory, the framework of a resilient inland waterway transport system will be further proposed and illustrated.
