Safer Seas Digest: Lessons Learned From Marine Accident Investigations
Year: 2018 Language: english Author: NTSB Genre: Other Publisher: National Transportation Safety Board Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 84 Description: The 30 marine accidents included in Safer Seas Digest 2018 involved contact with fixed objects, breakaways, sinkings, collisions, fires, floodings, groundings, and other vessel damage. The vessels ranged from personal crafts to oceangoing passenger ships and vehicle carriers. The accidents recounted here resulted in numerous injuries and significant property damage, and worst of all, the loss of nine crewmembers and passengers. While reading through these accidents, I was struck more than once by how many of them could have become even greater tragedies. But I was also struck by what an effective teacher experience can be, if we choose to learn the lessons of accidents. The “Lessons Learned” section at the end of this publication should be of interest to mariners and management alike. The safety issues examined in the 2018 edition of Safer Seas include: • High-water/high-current conditions • Watertight integrity • Training for emergencies • Remote emergency shutdowns • Ice accumulation • Reporting issues • Cooling water chemistry • Threaded fasteners and components • Mooring in strong winds • Identifying navigation hazards • Fixed ventillation openings • Recognizing metal fatigue in propeller shafting • Precautions while unloading catch • Alernative emergency communications in Alaska region
