Abstract

This study aims to develop a novel and fully data-driven approach to analyse the maritime accidents risk influential factors (RIFs) by integrating Association Rule Mining (ARM) and Complex Network (CN) modelling. Firstly, a comprehensive dataset comprising 21,206 maritime accident records from Marine Accident Investigation Branch and Transportation Safety Board is collected and processed to serve as the foundational data source supporting the development of the new approach. Secondly, a novel Combined Association Rule Mining method is proposed to extract the interconnections among RIFs, with the mined results mapped into a CN framework. Finally, two importance ranking algorithms, namely the PageRank-Information-Entropy algorithm and edge betweenness centrality, are applied to identify the key RIFs and their information transmission paths. By simulating deliberate and random attacks within networks, a robustness analysis is conducted to further explore the evolution of RIFs. The findings reveal that ship-related factors demonstrate greater centrality and connectivity, exerting a more substantial influence on information propagation within the network structure. The robustness analysis illustrates that strategic node and edge removals are effective in preventing risk propagation. It therefore makes contributions to the development of a theoretical basis for stakeholders to develop cost-effective preventive measures against specific RIFs, ultimately enhancing maritime safety.
