As the Sanya Phoenix Island cruise home port construction, utilization of the navigable waters of the Sanya Port has improved year by year, making the navigation risks increased. In addition, the maritme safety accidents increasing significantly. With the construction of cruise homeport in Sanya area , there is not enough experience about the cruise home port, but the navigation density in Sanya Port is very high, and the navigable environment is complex, yet the channal ,navigational aids and other hardware facilities, and software services such as VTS have not been established. A slight neglection of in and out cruise ship would lead to a collision, grounding or stranding and other accidents. Normally，the capacity of the cruise liner is very big. A martime casualty would cause huge impact on the safety of life at sea. It is vevy important for the navigation safety management of this area to research on how to prevent or reduce the occurrence of navigation safety accidents responsing to this situation of Sanya cruise port. So ,this paper conducted a systematic assessment and analysis of the navigation safety of cruise in Sanya Port, including the analysis on the risk factors of the navigation and the process during the cruise entering and leaving the port, based on the previous research. This reseach benefits to the job of the writer. Meanwhile, this paper use the fault tree analysis(FTA) method ,which has visualization , systematic accuracy and predictive features, to study the main factor of impacting on the cruise ship grounding accidents, and sumarize the solutions to control the risks of grounding. By focusing on the perspective of the maritime safety management and the navigation environment 3 characteristics of Sanya Port, this paper aims to reduce navigation accidents and keep the navigation safety of cruise ships in Sanya Port.

The approvals made it clear to develop the cruise industry, and construction of the cruise homeport. Sanya Phoenix Island cruise terminal have been built, supported strongly by the relevant policy and departments. In 2006, first-stage project of Phoenix Island cruise terminal was finished, making the first professional cruise terminal which is 80,000-ton level berth served in China. The second-stage project have been approved. A cruise home port will be built on the Phoenix Island in the future. That would promote the development of tourism industry in Sanya City. The second-stage project of the Phoenix Island would be arranged on the southwest side of the first artificial island. The construction scale contains six berth , including 8000-tons class , 100,000-tons class , 225,000 tons-class berth and two 150,000-tons class cruise berth (the corresponding berth number are 1 #, 3 # to 6 #, and the design 8 of 225,000 tons-class cruise ship refer to the “ Oasis of the Seas”),and a work boat berth,.
