Effects Of Human Error On Marine Safety: Case Study
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 11
Abstract
The maritime shipping industry is considered as one of the huge and high-risk industries. There is a big concern toward reducing the associate risk of this industry and improving the maritime safety. There are many parameters contributing into improving maritime safety and reducing the risks of accidents. The majority of these parameters are concerned with improving the design of ship’s hull and systems; utilizing advanced technologically equipment and machineries; and implementing legislations to ensure safe ship operation. Human is one of these parameters, which can be considered as the pivot parameter of maritime safety. It is the only life parameter, which interact and control the majority of other parameters. Therefore, ship safety is highly affected by human actions and the majority of maritime accidents are consequences of human error. The occurrence of marine accidents and increase of casualty’s number instead of vast improvement in the ship’s design, using of advanced technologically equipment and implementing of strict maritime safety regulations and legislation is an obvious example for the effect of Human error. In this paper, a detailed step-to-step events evaluation technique of a collision case study is used to investigate human error factors participated as main causes of the accident. This is through analyzing the collision happened between Oil Tanker “Kiafan” and Bulk Carrier “Unison Star” in Chittagong - Bangladesh (24 July 2017).
