Abstract
The amount of maritime traffic in Malaysia's port waterways continues to increase, and the growth of regional economies, maritime trade and shipping traffic will continue in the future. As the population of shipping traffic grows, so accidents and environmental catastrophes will increase. When an accident occurs, it is essential to understand the root cause to take adequate preventive measures. Malacca strait, one of the world busiest waterways, makes Malaysia water more likely to be a marine incident. Although safety is essential, no extensive study has been conducted on the maritime incident in Straits Malacca. This prevents a clear view of the condition of the marine incident in Straits Malacca. This study aims to determine the pattern of marine incident cases, the frequency-number of marine incident deaths occurring, and establish a frequency-number chart at Straits Malacca. The method used to collect primary data for the research will be interview sessions with the authorities, questionnaires distributed to the people in charge at the respective site, and benchmarking. These data were analyzed using linear regression on the number of cases, type of marine incident, type of ship and fatal marine incident to analyze their growth pattern and compare with the previous study to evaluate the value of Malaysia's social risk curve. It is expected that the number of cases shows a decreasing pattern over the year. The type of ship and type of incident will show the different patterns for each additional category.
