Wu, B., Yip, T.L., Yan, X.P. and Guedes Soares, C. (2022), “Review of techniques and challenges of human and organizational factors analysis in maritime transportation”, Reliability Engineering and System Safety, Vol. 219, 108249.

This paper summarises the advanced techniques adopted for the analysis of human and organization factors, which are the predominant factors in maritime accidents, and the various attempts that have been made to reduce the human errors, identifying the existing challenges. The advanced techniques for human and organizational factors modelling, including human error identification in accident investigation, human error probability quantification in risk analysis, and human and organizational factors analysis for emergency situations, are comprehensively analysed and discussed. The widely used modelling techniques are further analysed, and the main results and findings are given for maritime transportation. Moreover, the challenges for human and organizational factors, including data collection, individual factors, and autonomous shipping, are identified for future studies. Consequently, this paper provides an insight into human and organizational factors for maritime transportation, including the quantification modelling, solutions to data collection and future research directions.
