From 1970 through 1980, the National Transportation Safety Board investigated 82 major marine accidents. Thirty-three (40 percent) of these were collision accidents. The Safety Board initiated this study to examine a representative segment of ship collision investigation data based on the Safety Board's marine investigation experience. The study identifies some leading causes of ship collisions and assesses the results of the Safety Board's collision prevention recommendations made to Federal agencies and to maritime organizations. The study found that human error is the predominant cause of ship collisions and that specialized marine accident data which underscore the human factor in the cause of ship collisions need to be collected. The study recommends additional measures to increase the effectiveness of the ship's bridge watch team, and the collection of data concerning the human factors that contribute to the cause of ship collisions.
