Summary The present document is a report on maritime accidents based on a database carried out in the frame of the Monalisa 2.0 project. This report makes a summary of the most remarkable maritime accidents throughout history based on the database elaborated with maritime accidents from 1900 to 2013 (annex to this document). This document intends to help users of the database to obtain the best of the tool as well as making an analysis of some remarkable conclusions got from the database, such as location of accidents by year. A selection of remarkable accidents is carried out pointing out some of the details of the accident. That selection is divided into three parts: a) Passenger ship casualties. b) Boats with immigrants on-board. c) Non-passenger ship casualties. MONALISA 2.0 - REPORT ON MARITIME ACCIDENTS 4 1. Existing databases. In order to support what is reported in this document, a database of the accidents occurred from 1900 until 2013 has been elaborated. The research carried out and the subsequent study of the database of marine accidents has been made regarding the type of consequence of the casualty: loss of lives, pollution, serious injuries, total loss of the ship, ship rendered unfit to proceed or ship remains fit to proceed; the causes: less serious, serious or very serious; the type of ship: cargo ship, fishing vessel, passenger ship, service ship, inland waterway vessel, recreational craft, navy ship, submersible, wig, others or unknown. Among these types of ship, it has also been identified the type of load in case it is a cargo ship, the type of fishing vessel it can be, etc., so that we have all the information possible available. There are also available data about date of the sinking or accident, coordinates of the place where it happened, investigation reports elaborated and their dates, deadweight of the accident, analysis made, IMO identification numbers of the vessels. To elaborate this database, the information has been extracted from the Global Integrated Shipping Information System (GISIS) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). MONALISA 2.0 - REPORT ON MARITIME ACCIDENTS 5 2. Database. Queries. The database of the ship accidents has been elaborated in Access format, in order to ease querying any fields contained in it to make a quick search of casualties determined by specific parameters. The database is very useful to elaborate statistics in order to avoid the possible causations and be prepared for the necessary mitigations of future casualties. In this database there are three data tables named as follows: - “Main database” - “Flag states” - “Ship flag-Accidents” A first explanation of these data tables is provided in the following paragraphs. MONALISA 2.0 - REPORT ON MARITIME ACCIDENTS 6 2.1. Main database The first one contains the most part of the information about the casualties, which includes the fields: IMO Reference Coordinates (seconds Long) Number of ships involved Coordinates (E/W) Name (Ship 1) Location IMO number (Ship 1) Number of Investigation Reports Name (Ship 2) Number of Analyses IMO Number (Ship 2) Initial Event Name (Ship 3) Summary of Events IMO number (Ship 3) Ship Type Name (Ship 4) Consequences (Loss of life) IMO Number (Ship 4) Consequences (Pollution) Flag State a Consequences (Serious injuries) Flag State b Consequences (Total loss of the ship) Flag State c Consequences (Ship rendered unfit to proceed) Incident Date & Time Consequences (Ship remains fit to proceed) Type of casualty Gross Tonnage Coordinates (degrees Lat) Classification Society Coordinates (minutes Lat) Deadweight Coordinates (seconds Lat) Cargo Coordinates (N/S) Persons Onboard Coordinates (degrees Long) Investigation Report Date Coordinates (minutes Long) Analysis Date MONALISA 2.0 - REPORT ON MARITIME ACCIDENTS 7 Shot of the design view of the database, which shows some of the fields indicated previously1 1 The language of the program is per default in Spanish, meaning Nombre del campo: Field name; Tipo de datos: data type, which can be text, number, autonumber, date/time, Yes/No, etc. MONALISA 2.0 - REPORT ON MARITIME ACCIDENTS 8 This design view shows all the fields the current data table has and the type of data, but it gives no information about the casualties. It would be useful only for a quick look of the fields, so the user can question himself about which fields he believes are important for making a query, and also make changes if necessary. The database itself would be the following shots: MONALISA 2.0 - REPORT ON MARITIME ACCIDENTS 9 MONALISA 2.0 - REPORT ON MARITIME ACCIDENTS 10 MONALISA 2.0 - REPORT ON MARITIME ACCIDENTS 11 MONALISA 2.0 - REPORT ON MARITIME ACCIDENTS 12 The fields with no data in it respond to casualties which have Null data for that field. For example, if we are searching for a particular casualty with a particular “Investigation report date” we would only have to use the tool “Search” and fill the field with the date we are looking for. In case we do not know the exact date when the report took place, we could select
