Guedes Soares, C. and Teixeira, A.P. (2001), “Risk Assessment in Maritime Transportation", Reliability Engineering and System Safety, Vol. 74, pp. 299-309

A review is presented of different approaches to quantify the risk in maritime transportation. The discussion of several accident statistics provides a global assessment of the risk levels and its differentiation in ship types and main types of ship losses. Early studies in the probability of ship loss by foundering and capsizing are reviewed. The approaches used to assess the risk of structural design are addressed. Finally a brief account is given of recent development of using formal safety assessments to support decision making on legislation applicable internationally to maritime transportation.
