Risk analysis of inland waterways transportation on the Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria
View through CrossRef
This study aimed at analyzing accidents and risk on inland waterways transport operations in the Niger delta basin, Nigeria. Quantitative data obtained from the dada base of the National Inland waterways Authority (NIWA) were subjected to risk assessment methods. The results reveal an estimated average individual risk (AIR) value of 6.2x10-5, a fatal accident rate (FAR) of 975 fatalities per 8640 exposed hours; and accident frequency rate (AFR) value of 0.7% for the inland waterways of Niger delta. It concludes that waterways of Niger delta have high risk indices and potentials of accident occurrence due to poor maintenance dredging, enforcement of regulations; and thus recommends that NIWA should invest optimally in safety awareness and policy enforcement for sustainable waterways operations in Nigeria.

Title: Risk analysis of inland waterways transportation on the Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria
Description:
This study aimed at analyzing accidents and risk on inland waterways transport operations in the Niger delta basin, Nigeria.
Quantitative data obtained from the dada base of the National Inland waterways Authority (NIWA) were subjected to risk assessment methods.
The results reveal an estimated average individual risk (AIR) value of 6.
2x10-5, a fatal accident rate (FAR) of 975 fatalities per 8640 exposed hours; and accident frequency rate (AFR) value of 0.
7% for the inland waterways of Niger delta.
It concludes that waterways of Niger delta have high risk indices and potentials of accident occurrence due to poor maintenance dredging, enforcement of regulations; and thus recommends that NIWA should invest optimally in safety awareness and policy enforcement for sustainable waterways operations in Nigeria.
