Abstract

For many practical purposes it is desirable to have a yard-stick with which safety can be measured. A criterion for the estimation of the safety of ships against collisions is outlined in this paper. The method is based on mathematical simulation and embodies all relevant factors. Numerical results are given for the English Channel and the German Bight showing the effect of parameter variations.
