When Communication Fails: Ambiguous VHF Exchange Prevents TSS Collision
A bulk carrier and tanker collided in a Traffic Separation Scheme after an ambiguous VHF exchange, poor situational awareness, and inadequate checks before a major course alteration. When communication fails, the consequences are measurable and immediate. This incident underscores how human factors remain a leading cause of maritime accidents, a theme we explore further in our analysis of quantifying human factors in vessel loss-of-control risk models. Understanding these failures drives better protection at sea.
Two vessels collide at Chittagong anchorage as maritime incident data emerges
Two vessels collided at Chittagong anchorage, with the first incident recorded at Kutubdia anchorage involving Panama-flagged MV APJ Shirin and Liberia-flagged MV HG Sydney. These incidents emerge as maritime data becomes more measurable and integrated, a reminder that empirical tracking is essential for safety. Understanding drives protection.

Fatigue and Navigation Error Spark Vessel Collision Incident
A fatigued officer of the watch made navigational errors that sent a tanker into an anchored vessel, sparking fires and forcing both crews to abandon ship. It is a stark reminder that human endurance has limits, and those limits have consequences. Fatigue is a measurable risk factor, and this collision shows what happens when it is not managed.
