A systematic literature review and future insights on maritime and offshore human reliability analysis

Abstract

This paper conducts a systematic literature review through human reliability studies in maritime and offshore industries particularly. The review deeply focussed on the number of 219 featured studies. Among them, 25 special papers were reviewed in detail to have a closer insight into the maritime offshore domain. The proposed maritime HRA concepts and methodologies in the past studies have been inspected and presented with various statistical data. Clustering the existing progress in the literature and industry levels, the effects of emerging industrial developments on human reliability investigations are extensively discussed. Considering the future maritime initiatives (i.e. MASS Code, SDGs, Maritime & Offshore Digitalisation, SkillsFuture, etc.), the paper introduced a new R&D concept entitled Maritime & Offshore Human Reliability Research 2.0 (MOHR 2.0). The MOHR 2.0 is clarified the new contributing dimensions to redefine the tasks and operating environment to conduct next-generation human reliability analysis. Particularly, an application protocol is provided to extend the studies towards offshore operations. Consequently, this study contributes to understanding the potential of existing human reliability studies in maritime and offshore operations while further insights, opportunities, and challenges are highlighted.

A Systematic Literature Review of Maritime Transportation Safety Management

“…Research Theme [20] Risk assessment models [16] Risk analysis [11] Risk analysis [19] Expert elicitation and BN modeling [21] Maritime transport policy [10] Fire and explosion accidents [14] Models and computational algorithms [22] Marine fuels [23] Navigation data visualization [24] Cyber risk perception [18] Human and organizational factors analysis [15] Human factors and safe performance [25] Resilience [13] Human reliability analysis [12] Risk assessment methods Step 1-Obtaining the original dataset by using data mining. According to the discussion in Section 1, the safety issues involved in maritime transportation can be interpreted from the aspects of risk analysis and emergency management; therefore, "maritime transportation safety" or "maritime transportation risk" or "maritime transportation emergency" was selected as the search query to identify the records from the database.…”

“…Therefore, the present study sought to systemically review the work conducted to clear these obstacles impeding the sustainable development of the maritime industry. Several similar reviews have been conducted by scholars [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], mainly focused on the theme of risk analysis, methodologies, or factors analysis, and these review articles are summarized in Table 1. Unlike previous literature reviews concentrating on the analysis of accident causes and risk assessment to prevent the reoccurrence of maritime accidents, in the present study, we focused on the thematic coverage of safety risk analyses and emergency issues in maritime transportation aspects, such as shipping lanes, maritime supply chains, and maritime operations.…”
