A study on Marine Collisions where a Pilot was Involved

本文通过对驾驶员在引导过程中发生的“驾驶员事故”的分析，提出了减少各类船舶事故的措施。通过对日本海上事故调查机构报告的与驾驶员有关的海上事故的案例进行调查，提取了可能成为海上事故因素的各种项目，并将其制成数据库。研究结果表明，飞行员事故的主要原因几乎都是“人为失误”。首先，证明了习惯化导致的过度自信和误解，或信息交流不足导致的信息缺失导致事故的发生。

We investigate “Pilot accident”, accidents which happen while pilots are guiding, and present a measure to reduce any kinds of marine accidents. We investigated case histories of marine accidents related to a pilot reported by Japan Marine Accidents Inquiry Agency, and extracted some kinds of items which could be assumed to be factors of marine accidents, and then made a database of them. The results of this study prove that the main cause is almost “human error” in pilot accidents. Above all, it is proved that overconfidence and misunderstanding caused by habituation, or lack of information caused by insufficient exchange of information lead accidents.
