Abstract:
Currently, maritime transportation has become one of the most
important components in trading of many countries. In transportation,
safety should be the main concern. sea condition is dynamic, navigation
will becomes difficult without any navigational equipment or guidance
tools. in entering narrow channels or port, the vessel will be assist by
marine navigational aids that have been introduce to guide any vessel
or watercraft to ensure safety navigation. Aids to navigation such as
lighthouses, buoys and beacons constitute a form of marine
infrastructure. Their function is both to prevent marine accidents and to
facilitate seaborne trade. Somehow, the level of navigational safety
depends on a many factors, the present navigational situation,
persistence of aids to navigation system, and navigators' skills. The
probability of ship collision is one of the indicators in navigational safety
level. The availability requirements for the navigational aids, and to
assess its future categorization based upon its navigational safety
procedure.
