DEATHS rose to 61 shipping accidents in and around EU waters last year, from 52
the year before, according to EMSA.
The European Maritime Safety Agency said the deaths took place during 559
shipping accidents in 2010, from 540 accidents during 2009. But the fatality
rate was still below that of years before the recession sharply reduced
shipping activity, its Maritime Accident Review 2010 said.
In 2008, there were 82 fatalities and 670 accidents, it noted, and in 2007, 76
deaths and 715 accidents. "Post-2008, it is estimated that maritime traffic
dropped by between 15-20% and so it is not surprising that, as a result, there
have been fewer accidents," EMSA said.
Fishing vessels were involved in the greatest number of fatalities last year,
with a total of 20 lives lost. Accidents involving general cargo vessels,
bulkers, reefers, ro-ros and car carriers claimed 17 lives.
Box ships were the only type in which no loss of life was reported.
