“…Consequently, a thorough examination of mooring processes and comprehensive risk assessments are imperative to mitigate associated dangers. The existing body of literature contains numerous studies which examine various aspects of accidents on ships, including collision, fire, and grounding incidents (Calle et al, 2017;Baalisampang et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2019;Yildiz et al, 2022). In addition to the aforementioned incidents, maritime vessels are also engaged in other operations that are inherently risky.…”

Shipboard operations represent a complex environment, characterized by a high degree of risk, which demands a certain level of skill and expertise from those working on them. Despite the implementation of appropriate safety measures for these operations, it is observed that fatalities, injuries, and financial damage continue to occur onboard. When accidents on ships are investigated, it is highlighted that the accident rate caused by ropes in mooring operations is considerable. Mooring operations on ships represent a significant risk to personnel, due to the inherent dangers and the potential severity of the consequences. The study aims to reveal the causes of deaths and injuries caused by accidents during ship mooring operations and to conduct a risk analysis of the operations. The potential risks associated with the operation were identified through a process of consultation with experts and a comprehensive literature review. The Fine-Kinney Method was employed as the risk evaluation method. The results of the expert evaluations indicate that the most significant risks associated with mooring operations of ships are the lack of crew attention and personnel fatigue. Our experts' recommendations for addressing potential risks included adhering to established work hours and avoiding disruptions to the training of personnel.
