Operational risk assessment for hulls of inland and river-sea navigation towed barge trains
Object and purpose of research. This paper studies inland and mixed navigation towed barge trains to provide the analysis of the emergencies aboard Russian towed barge trains, their tugs and barges. Materials and methods. The analysis relies on the database of the Marine Engineering Bureau, reports...
