Today, there are 39 pilotage areas in Japan, and 11 areas of them are compulsory. 769 pilots have been registered in the 39 pilotage areas. An average age of them is 63.3. They must have sufficient knowledge, physical capability, experiences and concentration for executing hard works in ship handling. In this paper, we made up a database about 426 casualties of pilots in the recent 50 years by using decisions of Japan Maritime Disaster Inquiry Agency, and analyzed the database. As the results, it became clear that the ratio of casualty of the pilots increased sharply, when their business experience became more than 21 years. Also, the number of casualties in Kanmon and Inland sea pilotage area was more than that in other pilotage areas. To decrease casualties, refresh education for pilots and improvement of navigation aid facility are necessary.
