Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse human errors in grounding accidents according to the Marine Accident Investigation Branch of UK (MAIB) Database. In the analysis it was found that 82% of grounding accidents were related to human factor. The main aim is to identify the effect of human errors on deterioration of navigation safety with a view of improving future ship bridge design according to the IMO Human Centered Design (HCD) approach. In order to understand the role of human factors on grounding accidents; Casualty Statistics were first comparatively studied. Then, the grounding incidents in MAIB database between the years of 2006 and 2012 were broken down according to the MAIB Human Factor Taxonomy. The findings were first analysed with the user needs, gaps and anamolies which were mentioned in related International Maritime Organization(IMO) documents and consequently International Standardization Organization (ISO) Human Factor quality requirements of Information and Communication (ICT) Products were used to propose possible industrial recommendations in trial process.
