However, potential risks on the ships that were not under IMO regime should be concerned more seriously especially after the two Asian casualties of Eastern Star and Sewol occurred in recent years. The purpose of this research is to apply a recognized accident investigation method to identify and analyse the causes of these tragedies and give some recommendations based on the outcome of the research. After comparing with several popular investigation methods, AcciMap was chosen as a harmonized approach to make the research due to its advantages in organizational factors analysis and corresponding recommendations exportation. The research contributes progresses in the application of AcciMap in two significant events and provided some measures to prevent repetitions of such disasters. However, further research is needed to further develop the method due to the constraints in the approach itself but also due to weakness in information collection and research limitations as well.

  • Sinking of MV Sewol - Excerpted from Wikipedia
    Sinking of MV Sewol - Excerpted from Wikipedia, The sinking of MV Sewol (Hangul: 세월호 침몰 사고; Hanja: 世越 號沈沒事故), also referred to as the Sewol Ferry Disaster, occurred on the morning of 16 April 2014, when the passenger/ro-ro ferry was en route (on the way) from Incheon towards Jeju in South Korea. The Japanese-built South Korean ferry sank while carrying 476 people, mostly secondary school students from Danwon High School (Ansan City). The 6,825-ton vessel sent a distress signal from about 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) north of Byeongpungdo at 08:58 Korea Standard Time (23:58 UTC, 15 April 2014). In total, 304 passengers and crew members died in the disaster. Of the approximately 172 survivors, more than half were rescued by fishing boats and other commercial vessels that arrived at the scene approximately 40 minutes after the South Korean coast guard. The sinking of Sewol resulted in widespread social and political reaction within South Korea. Many criticized the actions of the captain and most of the crew. Also criticized were the ferry operator and the regulators who oversaw its operations, along with the South Korean government for its disaster response (including the poor showing of the then Korean coastguard) and attempts to downplay government culpability. (to weaken the governmental responsibility) THE SINKING OF MV SEWOL 1 On 15 May 2014, the captain and three crew members were charged with murder, while the other 11 members of the crew were indicted for (be accused of) abandoning the ship. An arrest warrant was also issued for Yoo Byung-eun, the owner of Chonghaejin Marine, which operated Sewol, but he could not be found despite a nationwide manhunt (a nationwide seeking for a guilty man).

  • Sewol Ferry Sinking Case Study
    Sewol ferry sinking case study http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_MV_Sewol The sinking of the MV Sewol (Korean: 세월호 침몰 사고; Hanja: 世越號沉沒事故)[6] occurred on 16 April 2014 en route to Jeju from Incheon. The South Korean ferry capsized while carrying 476 people (officially announced number, but actually unknown), mostly secondary school students from Danwon High School (Ansan City).[7] The 6,825-ton vessel sent a distress signal from about 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) off Gwanmaedo Island at 08:58 Korea Standard Time (23:58 UTC, 15 April 2014). Many passengers were rescued by fishing boats and other commercial vessels, which were first on the scene before the arrival approximately 30 minutes later of the South Korean coast guard and ROK Navy ships, backed by helicopters.[8][9] There are ongoing recovery efforts by the South Korean government, the United States Navy, civilian groups, and individuals. The sinking of the Sewol has resulted in widespread social and political reaction within South Korea, ranging from criticism of the actions of the captain and most of the crew of the ferry,[10] to criticism of the ferry operator and the regulators who oversaw its operations,[11] to criticism of the South Korean government and media for its disaster response and attempts to downplay government culpability.[12] The Sewol MV Sewol (Korean: 세월호, Hanja:世越號, Beyond the world[13]) was built by the Japanese company Hayashikane Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. Ltd. (Japanese: 林兼船渠) in 1994.[14] At 146 m (479 ft) in length and 22 m (72 ft) in width,[15]
