Antão, P. and Guedes Soares, C. (2003), “Analysis of High Speed Craft Accidents”, Safety & Reliability, Bedford & Van Gelder (Eds.), Swets & Zeitlinger B.V., Lisse, Holland, Vol. I, pp. 37-44
High Speed Crafts (HSC) represent, at the present day, one important component of intermodal transport due to their flexibility, cost, time efficiency and high speed. This high speed leads to risks on ship operations and therefore to potential accidents. The analysis of such accidents is of great importance as it pro-vides information that can be used to improve safety in design and operation. In this paper an analysis of HSC accidents will be performed with a methodology proposed recently. The objective of such study is to under-stand the causes of these accidents and to compare with the findings of accidents of traditional commercial vessels.
