Web-Based GIS for Safe Shipping in Istanbul Bosphorus Strait
The term “shipping accident” is mostly used to define any accident occurring at sea resulting in financial loss, including life or property or both. Common shipping accidents can be categorized into several groups: collision or contact, capsize, foundering, breaking-up, grounding, breakdown of the s...

Common shipping accidents can be categorized into several groups: collision or contact, capsize, foundering, breaking-up, grounding, breakdown of the ship, underway, stranding and fire or explosion.

Such an application could be widely used as it is web-based.
