Abstract
The maritime industry is affected by security and safety problems. Human factors (HF) are recognized as an important root-cause of such problems, which often result in complex crisis – e.g., technological disasters, humanitarian disasters, piracy/terrorism, cyber-attacks –, which require a comprehensive approach, and operations conducted by multiple agencies that combine competencies, frequently at international level. The efficiency and effectiveness of the response to crises depend on the level of preparedness of the agencies involved, both at individual and at joint levels. Preparedness is particularly important for managing offshore maritime crises, since the environment is adverse, access to resources is limited, and tolerance to errors is small. The paper addresses HF factors affecting the maritime industry and provides examples of initiatives and best practices that mitigate the threats and negative impacts to security and safety in this industry.
