Study on Presentation of Navigational Information of Atmospheric and Ocean in Voyage Simulation for Safety of a Ship Sailing in Coastal Sea Area

Navigational information highly affects the transporting industry. Prevention of a marine disaster is one of the best ways to ensure the safety of sailing ships. Collision and stranding are the two most common causes of marine disasters. Most coastal stranding is attributed to shallow waters. Accurate information on water depth for the prevention of ship´s stranding. On the other hand, information about the atmosphere and the oceans is also important. In this paper, we propose an effective method to communicate information regarding water depth, the atmosphere, and the oceans using Geographic Information System (GIS) to prevent ship stranding.
