A study of collision effects shows that approx.20% of struck non-tankers sink as the result of a collision and that approx.33% of struck tankers catch fire or explode. Statistics for casualties to ships over 2000 gross tons are given for 1975 and are added, in the case of collisions, to previous statistics for 1964-74 to give collision-derived casualties. These are differentiated as to tanker and non-tanker types and as to whether the ship was the struck or striking vessel.
