The Statistics of Collisions at Sea
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 January 2010
Extract
However misleading statistics may be, they often make an interesting study and those of marine collisions are no exception. In Volume 13 of this Journal, page 430, some figures were given for collisions in fog with radar, which permitted the conclusion that, in North-west European waters in 1959, each day of fog produced 1·2 collisions. Up to and including 1959 this figure was not rising significantly.
