It was established that in case of capsizing and shipwrecking chest and abdomen injuries prevail in wounded (22.4%). Pelvic fractures, injuries of the lower extremities and spine traumas prevail in wounded evacuated from the crash area after explosion and fire on the ships (43.3%). The above-mentioned injuries prevail due to mine-blast nature of injuries.
