Maritime Error Management: Discussing and Remediating Factors Contributory to Casualties

Cognitive, organizational, and operational factors proven to contribute to maritime casualties are considered from the perspective of an experienced deck officer and maritime attorney. An overview of present day maritime safety issues is provided, as well as suggestions for risk management strategies effective from the wheelhouse as well as the board room. The following subjects are covered: the evolution of current maritime safety philosophy; dealing with maritime risk; bridge resource management; the nature of error; situational awareness and decision making; violations, technology and electronic navigation; and organizational management and failure in regards to maritime risk. The interests of the mariner, as well as those of shore side management, are taken into account.
