一份由世界自然基金会发布的研究，指出了世界上船舶事故多发地区。最常发生事故的区域在中国南海和东印度群岛、东地中海、北海、黑海和英伦岛屿周围。而这些地区都具有环境和生态价值。以最常发生事故的中国南海和东印度群岛为例，自1999年以来就已发生了293宗船舶意外事故。事故原因多与不定期班轮、老旧船舶和船舶挂方便旗有关。

The World’s Most Dangerous Waters for Shipping
A report released by WWF pointed out the ship accident-prone areas in the world. The worst accident hotspots are in the South China Sea and East Indies, Eastern Mediterranean, North Sea, Black Sea and around British Isles. Those are the areas of environmental and ecological significance. Over in the South China Sea and East Indies where the world’s top accident area identified, there have been 293 shipping accidents since 1999. Reasons attributed are associated with tramp trading, old vessels and unregulated flags of convenience.
