“This statistic should be worrying to harbour masters and operations teams,” said Yucel Yildiz, RightShip’s Port and Terminal Manager. “Even though many larger ports are used to manage vessels of varying operational and safety standards each day, the data shows that the inherent risk while the vessel is within a port’s boundary is much larger than we previously thought.”
Don’t know if the accident / incident rate is really higher than previously known or if it’s just higher than the RightShip outfit knew.
