Abstract

The waters of Raja Ampat in Papua are one of the world's top maritime tourism destinations, attracting over 30,000 tourists annually since 2020. However, the challenging geographical conditions, such as shallow coral reefs, strong sea currents, and busy speedboat traffic, significantly increase the risk of maritime accidents. According to the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), from 2012 to 2024, six incidents in the area caused serious accidents, including vessel damage and injuries. This study aims to analyze the risks of tourist speedboat accidents in Raja Ampat using three complementary risk assessment methods: the Swiss Cheese Model (SCM), interviews, and questionnaires. The Swiss Cheese Model identifies gaps in several layers, such as Environment and Weather, Vessel and Safety Equipment, Skills and Competence of Operators, and Tourism Safety Management and Regulations. The analysis shows that the skills and competence of boat operators are significant weaknesses in accident cases, and it recommends that boat operators in Raja Ampat participate in SCRB (Survival Craft and Rescue Boat) training and certification programs.

Abstract

Background: Wing-in-Ground-effect (WIG) craft generate lift by operating at the air–water interface, enabling a unique mode of very high-speed maritime transport that is particularly suited to the highly complex nature of coastal and archipelagic regions. However, their distinctive operating characteristics high speed and low altitude present significant safety issues that require advanced navigation and communication systems. Objective: This paper investigates navigation and communication systems associated with the safety of WIG craft under relevant international maritime rules (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea SOLAS; IMO Guidelines for Wing-in-Ground Craft (MSC.1/Circ.1592). Methods: A qualitative regulatory analysis and R&D methodology is used to analyze the alignment of international standards with WIG operational requirements, as well as to examine barriers to the implementation of domestic maritime systems. Results: In the marine context, this study identifies major navigational technologies such as GNSS, radar, AIS, and integrated bridge systems for navigational awareness and collision avoidance. The integration of GMDSS communications and satellite-based technologies is indispensable for enabling coherent coordination and emergency response operations. SOLAS provisions do not fully satisfy all WIG operational requirements, while the application of IMO guidelines may result in disparate standards across jurisdictions. Conclusion: A harmonized and risk-based navigation and communication safety framework is proposed, integrating SOLAS provisions and IMO WIG Guidelines to address identified regulatory gaps. The framework aims to promote regulatory consistency and support the safe integration of WIG craft into national and international maritime transport systems.
