review_content: 1. The paper is well-structured and provides a comprehensive overview of the proposed framework for regional multi-ship collision risk analysis. However, some sections could benefit from further clarification to improve readability for a broader audience. For instance, a brief introduction to the concepts of DBSCAN, TCR, and Shapley value method at the beginning of the methodology section would help readers who are less familiar with these techniques. Additionally, the conclusion section could summarize the key findings and implications of the study in a more concise manner.
2.The current study focuses on collision risk analysis based on velocity obstacle and Shapley value methods. It would be interesting to explore potential extensions of the framework, such as incorporating real-time data streams for dynamic risk assessment or integrating other factors that may influence collision risk (e.g., weather conditions, ship types, and traffic patterns). Additionally, discussing potential applications of the framework in maritime traffic management and safety regulations could further highlight its practical value and impact.
