Quantifying human factors in vessel loss-of-control risk models
A loss of control at sea is rarely the end of the story, it is the beginning of a race against time. Traditional risk models treat vessel blackouts as technical failures, yet whether a ship drifts into disaster depends almost entirely on human and organizational response in the critical minutes that follow. This study quantifies that decisive window, revealing how initial response capacity, not the failure itself, determines the outcome.
Evaluating Maritime Safety Actions: A Data-Driven Approach to Risk Reduction
AIS-based near-miss counts offer a practical lens for evaluating maritime safety actions, yet the Ningbo, Zhoushan special safety action shows no robust reduction in navigational risk under this framework. The baseline estimate is positive but statistically insignificant, and event-study results confirm no persistent effect. This matters because behavior-level indicators can reveal what accident statistics cannot. The framework's value lies in its method, not the null result.
Advancing Autonomous Shipping: Surveying Route Planning for a Safer Future
Maritime accidents have long traced back to human error, and as trade volume grows, that risk only intensifies. Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships offer a path forward, but their promise hinges on a core technology: route planning algorithms. This paper provides a systematic review of their evolution, categorizing methods into baseline, environment-adaptive, and multi-objective intelligent decision-making approaches. The analysis highlights persistent gaps, particularly in encoding COLREGs and handling uncertainty.
