On the Grounding of Ships Determination of Risk Factors with Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)

Abstract

Maritime transport undoubtedly comes first in the transport of goods subject to global trade. Despite the advantages of maritime transport in terms of economies of scale, the inherent nature of this mode of transportation introduces a number of risks. Such risks have the potential to endanger human life, property, and the environment. A variety of maritime accidents can be attributed to a number of factors, including human error, mechanical failure and environmental conditions. Such incidents may result in damage and losses pertaining to the vessel and cargo, in addition to environmental contamination, injury, and even death of personnel. The principal categories of maritime accidents can be classified as follows: collisions, groundings, fires and explosions, machinery failure, sinking or shearing, and drifting. A review of the available data reveals that collisions represent the most common type of accident, followed by groundings. In the initial phase of the study, the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), the Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications, the Japan Transport Safety Board (JTSB), and the Bahama Maritime Authority (BMA) reports and literature were subjected to analysis through content analysis. In the subsequent phase, the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) methodology was employed to examine the identified indicators and ascertain the underlying root causes. The FTA revealed that human error, meteorological conditions and machinery failure were the primary root causes. The study yielded a categorisation and statistical evaluation of the risk factors associated with grounding accidents.
