Abstract
It is essential to comprehensively analyze human errors occurring during marine engine plant operation, and to investigate more effective measures in order to prevent the occurrence of similar errors. In this paper, a classification model of human errors related to marine engine accidents is proposed. The judgment records of Marine Accidents Inquiry Association were examined for cases that involved human errors. In the present work, 298 marine accidents during engine operation between 1995 and 2011 were investigated to clarify the potential factors using the quantification theory III. It is expected that safety measures can be strengthened through proper understanding of the numerous factors that contributed to these errors.
