THE “HUMAN ERROR” FACTOR IN MARITIME ACCIDENTS – DON’T STOP AT THE NUMBERS
Over 80% of maritime accidents are recorded as being linked to human factors – a figure that compels the global maritime industry to question: Are seafarers truly the root cause, or is this merely a symptom of a safety system trapped in systemic flaws?
In the upcoming talk on the theme:
“The Human Error Factor in Maritime Accidents – Don’t Stop at the Numbers”,
we will:
-
Re-examine the concept of “human error” – looking beyond individual blame to consider managerial, organizational, and systemic dimensions.
-
Explore underlying causes rooted in corporate culture, operational practices, and safety management strategies.
-
Discuss long-term solutions to mitigate risks and move beyond the limits of rigid compliance procedures.
