<strong>Risk</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> for <strong>Sea</strong> <strong>Traffic</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>around</strong> <strong>Bornholm</strong><br />

19<br />

graphical position is given is <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> figure. However, descriptions below<br />

<strong>in</strong>clude all accidents irrespective <strong>of</strong> whe<strong>the</strong>r precise location is specified.<br />

For fur<strong>the</strong>r analysis only accident data collected from 1997 can be considered<br />

reliable. Data <strong>in</strong> DMAs accident statistics from 1993-1996 seems not to be<br />

complete, which has also been concluded <strong>in</strong> previous studies, and have not be<br />

<strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

4.3.1 Collisions<br />

In <strong>the</strong> area <strong>around</strong> <strong>Bornholm</strong> hav<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>terest for present study (largely 13°30' to<br />

15°50' and 54°40' to 55°30') <strong>the</strong>re has <strong>in</strong> a 10 year period (1997-2006) been 16<br />

collisions registered by Danish authorities and 3 by Swedish authorities. One<br />

accident is covered by both sets <strong>of</strong> statistics result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 18 collisions <strong>in</strong> 10<br />

years.<br />

Of <strong>the</strong>se 18 collisions, 6 are for sure not <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>terest for this study, s<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong>se<br />

are collisions between vessels both under 300GT and this also seems to be <strong>the</strong><br />

case for an o<strong>the</strong>r 5 collisions. Thus, 7 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 18 collisions <strong>in</strong>volve one or two<br />

vessels <strong>of</strong> 300GT or more. 5 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se 7 collisions <strong>in</strong>volve fish<strong>in</strong>g vessels, 1 is<br />

<strong>the</strong> severe collision between <strong>the</strong> bulk carrier Fu Shan Hai and <strong>the</strong> conta<strong>in</strong>er ship<br />

Gdynia <strong>in</strong> 2003, which resulted <strong>in</strong> oil spill, and <strong>the</strong> last collision does not have<br />

sufficient description for fur<strong>the</strong>r conclusions.<br />

4.3.2 Ground<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

In <strong>the</strong> area <strong>around</strong> <strong>Bornholm</strong> hav<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>terest for present study (largely 13°30' to<br />

15°50' and 54°40' to 55°30') <strong>the</strong>re has <strong>in</strong> a 10 year period (1997-2006) been<br />

<strong>around</strong> 10 ground<strong>in</strong>gs registered by Danish authorities and 2 by Swedish authorities.<br />

However 5 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 10 Danish registered ground<strong>in</strong>gs are ground<strong>in</strong>g by<br />

fish<strong>in</strong>g vessels below 300GT. Swedish authorities have registered 2 ground<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>terest, however, 1 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se is a small fish<strong>in</strong>g vessel result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

1 ground<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>terest west <strong>of</strong> Sandhammaren. In a 10 year period 6 relevant<br />

ground<strong>in</strong>gs have this been registered.<br />

4.4 Geographic <strong>in</strong>formation<br />

Geographical <strong>in</strong>formation is obta<strong>in</strong>ed from Kort- & Matrikelstyrelsens<br />

“Levende Søkort” (“liv<strong>in</strong>g sea map”) /KMS/.<br />

4.5 Collision model<br />

The collision model describes <strong>the</strong> yearly rate <strong>of</strong> ship-ship collisions as well as<br />

<strong>the</strong> consequences <strong>of</strong> such events. A detailed description <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> methods and assumptions<br />

is given <strong>in</strong> Appendix A.<br />
