Abstract
The problems associated with marine traffic engineering in the Baltic area are difficult to solve, and casualty statistics are extremely important as a basis for safety and anti-pollution activities. A statistical analysis has been made of the data relating to a total of 283 ship casualties in 1971–72; the results are presented and the discussion covers local and seasonal distribution, distribution by other time-dependent variables, and weather, visibility and the use of navigation equipment at the time concerned. The statistics further cover the type of ship involved, its nationality, loading condition, age, speed, and the damage arising. This paper was presented at the November meeting of a Navigation Group in Helsinki.
