Improving Maritime Safety Through Analytics

Our research in the field of maritime safety management in busy ports has led to the development of statistical models to identify factors contributing to maritime accidents and conducted detailed analysis of accident records and literature reviews. As a result, the research has enhanced understanding of maritime safety and informed six consultancy projects within Hong Kong since 2016 that involved international engineering firms. The research has led to a maritime traffic impact assessment approach being adopted by engineering consultancy firms as the first Technical Guidance to enhance maritime safety, acting as a framework to observe the reduction of maritime accidents.
