Accurate quantification of good seamanship necessitates comprehensive information about the vessels state and the surrounding environment, obtainable through the AIS system and electronic nautical charts. Our work advances the current state-of-the-art by: (1) incorporating a normalized grounding risk for navigating confined waters, (2) factoring in speed changes for a probabilistic assessment of collision risk, and (3) considering the minimum possible scenario risk based on vessel kinodynamic constraints. The proposed method is evaluated using historical AIS data and sea charts of Danish waters.
