Abstract
Transportation involves all concepts of distance, speed, and time. Maritime transportation is one of the oldest methods of transportation.

The growing number of HSCs has necessitated the development of new safety concepts for such vessels and waters where they navigate. The navigation on HSC requires great/high attention.
