Abstract
Millions of people use Inland Water Transport (IWT) as a cheap mode of vehicle in Bangladesh. Due to various reasons it is found that the passenger vessels in river routes are not as safe as it should have been. Reflections are vivid to public through media reports regularly. Although accidents at inland water ways in Bangladesh are not as frequent as those happening on roads, but on many occasions, it has been found that losses of life and damage of property on waterways are quite high. Sometimes accidents on board passenger vessels cause immense damage to the environment as well which has a long-lasting effect on nature. Study reveals that the ways in which accident cases are investigated and analyzed, the root causes of accident cases are not revealed. The author feels that so far the issue has not been addressed well in Bangladesh using the right tool or model based on any theory. This paper gives a guideline towards framing a model which can be used to analyze accidents which operators of passenger vessels face on a regular basis in Bangladesh.
