A study aimed at characterizing the human factors that affect machinery failure in engine room has been carried out, using damage data reported periodically and occasionally by surveyors of Nippon Kaiji Kyokai. The results of this study show that major failures, (those after which a ship is towed by tug or operates at reduced navigation speed), are mostly attributable to human factors for ships less than about ten years of age. On the other hand, constructive defects such as degradation in system performance due to wear and tear or corrosion, among other factors, may have a greater impact than human factors on the occurrence of major failures in the case of ships over about ten years of age. It may be concluded that human errors occur as the result of the chain of mistakes caused by human factors due to these constructive defects.
