TL;DR: A method is proposed to assess the probability of vessels colliding with each other, capable of determining the expected number of accidents, the locations where and the time when they are most likely to occur, while providing input for models concerned with the expected consequences.

TL;DR: A review and analysis of risk definitions, perspectives and scientific approaches to risk analysis found in the maritime transportation application area, focusing on applications addressing accidental risk of shipping in a sea area reveals that in theApplication area, risk is strongly tied to probability, both in definitions and perspectives, while alternative views exist.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic, transferable and proactive framework estimating the risk for maritime transportation systems, meeting the requirements stemming from the adopted formal definition of risk, which requires a proactive approach when it comes to risk modelling.

TL;DR: In this article, a framework for risk analysis of maritime transportation systems, where risk analysis is understood as a tool for argumentative decision support, is proposed, where uncertainty is given a more prominent role than in the current state of art in the maritime transportation application area.

TL;DR: In this paper, a vessel conflict ranking operator (VCRO) is proposed to detect possible near miss ship-ship collisions from AIS data, which considers the following factors affecting the complexity of an encounter between two ships: the distance between the two ships, the relative speed of the ships, and the difference between the headings of ships.
