This paper presents an analysis of ship collision accidents worldwide based on the available data. Data from 746 collision accidents from the period between 2006-2016 are analysed. The data are retrieved from the Global Integrated Shipping Information System of the International Maritime Organization consisting of 1276 ships involved in the collisions. The period of the study covers 5 years, prior and after the introduction of the New Inspection Regime in 2011, in order to identify potential impacts of its introduction into the collision accident rate. Additionally, information from the European Quality Information System on the world fleet statistics is also retrieved in order to estimate the risk levels. The analysis performed in the present paper provides the basis for a later identification of collision Risk Influencing Factors, fundamental for the development of risk models and the estimation of the risk levels of a given ship in a given scenario.
