HELCOM report shows a 22% drop in ship accidents in the Baltic
While the Baltic continues to be one of the most heavily trafficked seas in the world, the number of ship accidents has dropped drastically, especially in such busy traffic area like the Gulf of Finland, according to the latest HELCOM study.
And the occurrence of ship-to-ship collisions, one of the most serious types of accidents at sea, has dipped to a record low level since 2003.
