safety and shipping review 2013

---

In 2012, two high profile maritime incidents pushed shipping safety into the public eye once more with the loss of the Costa Concordia off Italy in January followed in February by that of the Rabaul Queen ferry, off Papua New Guinea. Both events caused a tragic loss of life. However, while these incidents have dominated public ship safety discussions, statistics reveal that reported total losses in shipping for 2012 continued a long term downward trend, with a total of 106 vessels recorded as losses in the 12 months to 25 November 2012. While this marks an increase from the previous 2010-11 period (91 losses), this figure is down from the 2001-10 average of 146 vessels per year. Due to the concentration of commercial shipping in geographical areas, nearly two out of three of those total losses (58%) occurred in one of four maritime regions: South China, Indo China, Indonesia and the Philippines (with 30 vessels lost, twice as many as any other area)
East Mediterranean and the Black Sea; Japan, Korea and North China; and the British Isles, North Sea, English Channel, and the Bay of Biscay. The most common cause of losses in the past year was foundering (sinking or submerging) – responsible for nearly half of losses (49%) – followed by wrecking/running aground (22%). Collisions involving vessels accounted for a relatively small number of losses (6%), even allowing for late reporting of losses which may still come to light.
