When Communication Fails: Ambiguous VHF Exchange Prevents TSS Collision

A bulk carrier and tanker collided in a Traffic Separation Scheme after an ambiguous VHF exchange, poor situational awareness, and inadequate checks before a major course alteration. When communication fails, the consequences are measurable and immediate. This incident underscores how human factors remain a leading cause of maritime accidents, a theme we explore further in our analysis of quantifying human factors in vessel loss-of-control risk models. Understanding these failures drives better protection at sea.
