Extract

The rates of collision and stranding at sea are very high. The primary causes of stranding are: not checking a ship's position, inadequate route planning, operational misjudgement and inefficient watchkeeping. These causes are responsible for 90 percent of strandings according to accident statistics. Reduction in stranding risk would be of considerable economic benefit and would also reduce pollution and be welcomed by shipping companies and, of course, by crews.
