Ship-Iceberg Collision Database: background, operation, contributions & preliminary analysis
The Ship-Iceberg Collision Database is a collection of nearly six hundred and sixty ship and iceberg collisions in Northern waters. As the fourth consecutive engineering work term student to contribute to this project under the supervision of Brian Hill, Senior Technical Officer and Ice Tank Supervi...

The Ship-Iceberg Collision Database is a collection of nearly six hundred and sixty ship and iceberg collisions in Northern waters. As the fourth consecutive engineering work term student to contribute to this project under the supervision of Brian Hill, Senior Technical Officer and Ice Tank Supervisor, NRC-IOT, this report outlines the contributions made to the project during the past work term, the methods of research utilized, and a preliminary analysis of the findings. It is intended that this project and report provide a means of forecasting the probability of collision with an iceberg in Northern waters, in an effort to engender safer ocean travel and stimulate further research and development regarding factors that affect the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).
