Abstract

This paper investigates determinants of the probability of non-fatal and fatal crew injuries in container vessel accidents. The determinants are deduced from an estimated probit regression equation based upon 2001--2008 U.S. Coast Guard container vessel accident data. The estimation results suggest that a crew member is: (1) less likely to have a non-fatal injury in containership and ro-ro container vessel accidents if the vessel has a steel hull and the vessel accident occurs at nighttime, (2) more likely to have a fatal injury if fire is involved in containership and ro-ro container vessel accidents, and (3) less likely to have a fatal injury in containership and ro-ro container vessel accidents if the vessel is U.S. flagged, steel hulled, and powered by a diesel engine. These results are critical in developing new policies in reducing non-fatal and fatal crew injuries in container vessel accidents.
