Extract

In recent years there has been a growing concern about the continuing occurrence of casualties in the Dover Strait. The unfortunate incidents in the Varne area early in 1971 raised questions about how casualties occur and what circumstances or combinations of circumstances are most likely to lead to a collision or stranding. Information was also required as a basis for estimating the risk of a casualty occurring in the Dover Strait and for assessing the effectiveness of proposals for improving the safety of navigation.
