Ship collision is the structural impact between two ships or one ship and a floating or still object such as an iceberg.〔(Database Of Ship Collisions With Icebergs )〕 Ship collisions are ONE of particular importance in marine accidents. Some reasons for the latter are: * The loss of human life. * The environmental impact of oil spills, especially where large tanker ships are involved. * Financial consequences to local communities close to the accident. * The financial consequences to shipowners, due to ship loss or penalties. * Damage to coastal or off-shore infrastructure, for example collision with bridges. As sea lanes are getting more congested and ship speeds higher, there is a good possibility that a ship may experience an important accident during her lifetime. Higher speeds may cause larger operational loads, like slamming, or excessively severe loads, for example during a collision. Denser sea routes increase the probability of an accident – in particular a collision – involving ships or ships and shore or offshore structures. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ship collision」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
