ABSTRACT

A number of models for ship-ship collision probability estimation can be found in the literature. They can be divided into two major groups namely: static and dynamic models. The static models are simpler and less time consuming for computation, however their accuracy can be questioned. The dynamic models are more complex, in principle they need more input data than static models, but their results are comprehensive. In this section the short overview of existing models will be made, and our contribution to the existing knowledge will be put forward.
