  • A Study of Factors That Contribute to Maritime Fatigue
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivianne W. Louie for the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Engineering presented on June 6. 2005. Title: A Study of Factors that Contribute to Maritime Fatigue. Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy Toni L. Doolen Many advances have been made to shipping and the maritime industry over the last century. Despite these advances, errors that lead to injuries, accidents, and catastrophes continue to occur. Fatigue has been identified as a major contributor to these incidents. The purpose of this study was to determine the leading causes of fatigue for mariners and specifically, for deck watch officers (DWO' s).The maritime industry is unique in that mariners are required to live and work on ships for an extended period of time. Questionnaires and face-to-face interviews were used to study the relationship between sleep, the work enviromnent and fatigue. The questionnaire addressed the occurrence and causes of fatigue, quality and quantity of sleep, electronics/automation and current regulations. Through analysis of the data, the leading causes of fatigue for DWO's were found to be lack of sleep and sleeping at inconsistent times. Sleep environment, including darkness/lighting, temperature, noise, vibration, and ship motion were also studied and found to have little to no effect on sleep quality and subsequently fatigue. Today's ships are very sophisticated and well-equipped with navigation and communication aids. Contrary to previous studies, electronics and automation was found to be helpful during both routine and emergency situations. The current U. S. and international regulations were established in an effort to reduce fatigue by requiring minimum hours of rest.
