<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 />

Expected yearly clean-up costs for redistributed traffic<br />

As far as collisions with small vessels are concerned, <strong>the</strong> situation is <strong>the</strong> same<br />

as for accident frequencies: There is a slight reduction <strong>in</strong> collisions with fish<strong>in</strong>g<br />

boats (-1.6%) and an even more slight <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> collisions with yachts<br />

(+0.4%). Besides, fish<strong>in</strong>g boats contribute only 5% to total risk and yachts less<br />

than 1%.<br />

6.4 Cost-benefit assessment (FSA step 4)<br />

Costs and benefits can occur <strong>in</strong> two ways:<br />

• as expected costs/benefits, i.e. as a result <strong>of</strong> uncerta<strong>in</strong> events, such as ship<br />

accidents.<br />

• as direct costs/benefits, i.e. as a result <strong>of</strong> scheduled events, such as operat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

a ship (fuel, capital <strong>in</strong>vestment, external damage due to ship eng<strong>in</strong>e exhaust<br />

fumes, see section 4.7).<br />

In fact, <strong>the</strong> step from a comparative risk assessment towards a cost-benefit<br />

analysis is relatively small, consider<strong>in</strong>g that expected costs and benefits have<br />

already been analysed <strong>in</strong> section 6.3.<br />
