DATA COLLECTION ON ACCIDENTS IN INLAND NAVIGATION
(12 October 2020)

 
Context
 
Although accident data is often collected at the national level, the exchange of data between different countries or organisations remains difficult and consequently hampers the feeding of national and international databases with sufficient and comparable information. This limits in the end the possibility to elaborate recommendations to prevent similar accidents. The fact that accident reporting is not mandatory in inland shipping does not help the situation.
 
Objectives
 
The CESNI organised this workshop with the following objectives:

  • Bring together persons from different member states that are involved in collecting data on accidents in inland navigation
  • Increase the understanding of existing methodologies and statistical concepts in view of an evaluation of similarities and significant differences across member states
  • Inform on the work done by the EUROSTAT Task Force
  • Improve the data collection situation in Europe
  • Close knowledge gaps by raising awareness of who is collecting data
  • Identify reasons why data is not collected
  • Convey the importance of accident data collection for overall safety in inland navigation
  • Pave the way to the development of an accident database on an international level (with the possibility of comparison and cooperation)
  • Promote commitment to provide data
