Kavanagh, John (2001) When is a ship's speed safe?: The Role of safe speed in the international regulations for preventing collisions at sea. Maritime Studies (MS) (116). pp. 11-29. ISSN 0726-6472

Excessive speed is one of the main contributory factors in collisions between vessels at sea. An unsafe speed reduces the time available for mariners to assess a risk of collision situation, it reduces the time available to make considered decisions to avoid collision and it increases the damage that results from impact between vessels. The proliferation of vessels on the oceans of the world that are capable of very high speeds, including hovercraft, passenger/ vehicle catamarans and high speed container vessels, has increased the importance of the safe speed at sea issue.
