These models are useful in a wide variety of disciplines in the medical, biological and behavioral sciences. They are particularly useful in settings where
ALFARO, DIONEL L. C/M MARVIN JAPITANA MT32-B2 II. VIEWPOINT Ship collision is the physical impact that occurs between two or more ships resulting from a damaging accident. It may involve ships, a stable or floating structure such as a port, an ice berg or a drilling platform. With the growth of the maritime industry, thousands of humongous ships capable to travel with great speed are being produced each year so the traffic in the seas becomes denser and a greater chance of collision.
