Analysis of maritime accidents of passenger ro-ro ships

Tema ovog rada je analiza pomorskih nezgoda ro-ro putničkih brodova. Ovaj tip broda danas je široko zastupljen zbog svoje fleksibilnosti i komercijalne isplativosti. Tokom povijesti ovi su brodovi sudjelovali u pomorskim nezgodama i cilj rada je bio ustanoviti neke od najčešćih razloga zašto su se te nezgode događale. Ro-ro putnički brodovi specifična su plovila sa aspekta sigurnosti i zahtijevaju visok stupanj opreza i izobrazbe pomoraca koji njima rukuju sukladno STCW konvenciji i mjerama IMO-a koje za cilj imaju povećanje sigurnosti plovidbe. Uzimajući u obzir da prevoze i putnike dodatni naglasak na sigurnost potpuno je opravdan i nužan.Subject of this paper is analysis of maritime accidents of ro-ro passenger ships.
