Ship incident risk around the heritage areas of Tubbataha and Banc d’Arguin

Since the early 1990s, the International Maritime Organization has designated 14 Particular Sensitive Sea Areas that enjoy special protection because of their important attributes and vulnerability to potential harm by increasing shipping activities. The United Nation’s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization identified two new candidate sites, the Banc d’Arguin national park in West Africa and the Tubbataha Reef national park in South-East Asia. The authors present various risk measures for ships trading in the areas of interest. Using a combination of data, the authors find increasing risk of ships trading through West Africa and South-East Asia in general as well as close to both heritage regions, supporting recommendations for increased levels of protection.
