Comprehensive analysis of lifeboat accidents using the Fuzzy Delphi method
Accidents that result in personnel injury or death occur in lifeboats, which are some of the most reliable means of abandoning a ship during drills, routine maintenance, and tests. Comprehensive research on lifeboat accidents is non-existent in literature. This article aims to prioritize the factors responsible for lifeboat accidents and to provide comprehensive recommendations for managers, policymakers, and seafarers. For this purpose, the Fuzzy Delphi method was used in the study. Twelve lifeboat accidents reported by flag states were examined, and detailed accident analyses were made by 12 field experts. As a result of the study, human errors, equipment unsuitability, lack of knowledge, and language problems of the personnel were determined as the most important factors in the causes of lifeboat accidents.
