The diploma thesis aims to investigate the human factor in the field of maritime transportation. By analyzing the literature, the concepts of human reliability and human error will be defined, examples and relevant statistical studies documenting the number and categories of these errors in maritime accidents will be provided, and available methods for processing and analyzing them will be recorded. Human reliability is defined as the probability of successfully completing a task, and human errors are human behaviors that fall outside the tolerance range of a system in which an individual operates (Porthin et al., 2020). The thesis will primarily focus on the Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) method, which is a systematic approach for identifying, quantifying, and reducing human errors in human-machine systems, and is considered a vital part of probabilistic risk assessment that examines all possible accident scenarios to evaluate the overall safety of a system. The stages involved in an HRA process will be presented, such as problem definition or analysis, scope definition, task modeling, human error analysis, human error quantification, and error management recommendations (Sujan et al., 2020). Since the emergence of the first HRA method, namely the Technique for Human Error Rate Prediction (THERP) (Swain and Guttman, 1983), many HRA techniques have been proposed for general use or for specific applications. The thesis will present selected studies with applications of HRA in the field of maritime transportation.
