DETERMINANTS OF THE SHIP DAMAGE SEVERITY OF CONTAINERSHIP ACCIDENTS

The purpose of this paper is to investigate determinants of the ship damage severity of containership accidents. A micro-data set of detailed information on individual containership accidents is utilized in our investigation. Since the severity of an accident is conditioned upon the occurrence of an accident, the likelihood and the severity of an accident are expected to have common determinants. Hence, our determinants may be used by container shipping lines in their decision making for not only reducing the severity of containership accidents but also for reducing the likelihood of a containership having an accident.
