Identification and prioritization of human error factors related to maritime accidents

Dina Farouk Mahgoub, Sameh Farahat, Said Abdelkader

Abstract


Maritime accidents associated with its consequences, such as loss of people, huge financial compensations, pollution disasters, and environmental damage, are real threats to maritime transport industry. Many factors have a direct or an indirect effect on marine accidents; however, the Human Error Factors (HEFs) are considered to be the main contributor to those accidents through documented investigations, databases, and through various studies concerning this issue.
