EFFECTS OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES ON HUMAN ERRORS

Modern vessels are fitted with sophisticated equipment and highly automated navigation systems. Investigations of maritime accidents confirm that a series of events may occur within a ship’s system, contributing to the hazard. The results produced by investigations and studies increase the awareness of causation of maritime accidents and reduce their incidence. This paper discusses the human error causation with particular focus on elements that considerably contribute to human failure that eventually results in a marine accident. Given the complexity of this issue, it is important that the future efforts of competent maritime organisations, experts developing modern ship operation systems, and seafarers as the end users of these systems, are directed towards creating systems, i.e. working environments, where the risk of human error would be reduced to a minimum.
