In the past, the maritime industry has approached the matter of maritime safety from a predominantly technical lens. The reliance on technical hardware to maintain marine safety is evidenced through the many innovations to and requirements concerning ship design and equipment. However, despite these many preventative technical innovations, marine accidents have continued to occur.
However, in the fields of aviation, medicine, and nuclear energy, which all have complicated operational systems, the study of non-technical skills is included for the purpose of maintaining safety.
We suggest that the risk of marine accidents can be decreased through the appropriate implementation of non-technical skills in the maritime industry. We apply the concepts of non-technical skills to a human factor analysis of ship operators (which includes pilots). In this paper, through the classification of ship operator behavior as elements of non-technical skills, we analyze these non-technical skills and discuss how the application of non-technical skills can be used to prevent marine accidents.
