Abstract The identification of ship collision risks is an important element in maritime safety and management. concept the domain has also been studied developed since it was proposed. Considering existing trend that increasingly widely used risk-related research, a new domain-oriented risk factor, i.e., current state (CSD), introduced this paper, which can effectively reflect show certain pred...
