Factors affecting safe navigation and their impacts in port area

Navigation system is designed to guide and control vessel systematically to avoid accident. Navigation system disorder can lead to maritime accidents such as collision, grounding and stranding which could result in significant losses in terms of damage, oil pollution, loss of life and financial loss...

Descriptive analysis is used to determine the safety factors and their impacts, Pearson Correlation method is used to check correlations between factors and impacts, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is used to check dependency of means between groups of respondents. The respondents agree that main factors affecting safe navigation in port are environment, vessel and navigational aid (mean of 1.80, 2.01 and 1.86 respectively), while the failure of navigation in port will contribute to the significant impact to port operations and losses (mean of 1.85 and 2.03 respectively).
