  • Abstract:
  • The study on Human Factors in enhancing the maritime safety and standards is an established field of study. The field of study has existed over many decades. The study has gained momentum in all sphere of Human activities with the enlightenment that, the machines invented by Human are unlikely to deviate from the behaviour designed to follow in algorithms or process based on which the system operates. Further, study conducted by various agencies indicates that, Human negligence is a major contributor towards accidents and incidents in majority of sectors, whether it is marine sector, mining industry, automobile sector, aviation industry, construction sector etc. The technological advancements in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have developed autonomous vehicles wherein the Human Intelligence is being mimicked. There has been success as well as failures at the prototype and production level of such autonomous vehicles. At present, a combination of Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence proved to be the hybrid model in developing autonomous vehicles. The development of completely autonomous vehicles without Human intervention is near impossible. Hence, understanding the Human psychology and emotional intelligence can negate Human errors and contribute to a near perfect system even in these hybrid systems working in AI based algorithms. The Human factor study in the marine sector has been undertaken by various International, National and Non-Governmental Organisations but the accidents due to human negligence still persist in the marine industry. The study aims to identify contributory factors due to human negligence in marine industry
