KEY: R = revised; U = data are not available.
a
Fatalities include people who were declared missing.
b Figures
represent the number of vessels involved in nonvessel casualties. These vessels were not part of the
accident, but the accident may have occurred on the vessel (e.g., crewmembers
swept overboard by a wave).
NOTES
Figures
reflect the number of deaths and injuries to people on commercial vessels not
resulting from a casualty to the vessel.
These injuries and fatalities result from such incidents as slips,
falls, or electrocutions. Deaths and
injuries from disease, homocides, suicides, fights, and diving accidents have
been excluded. The data reflect deaths
and injuries to people on both U.S. and foreign flag vessels within the
jurisdiction of the United States (within 12 miles of U.S. coast) and on U.S.
flag vessels anywhere in the world.
1992-97
data come from the Marine Safety Management Information System. Between 1998
and 2001 the U.S. Coast Guard phased in a new computer system to track safety
data, the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System. During
that period data come from combining entries in the Marine Safety Management
Information System with entries in the Marine Information for Safety and Law
Enforcement System. Data for 2002 to 2004 come from the Marine Information
for Safety and Law Enforcement System.
Data for prior years come from other sources and may not be directly
comparable.
There
is a significant difference in the figures provided in 2005 from previous
years due to changes in the way marine safety related personnel casualties
are now measured. Also, many of the
figures for incident investigations in the years 2002 and later are derived
from predecisional material and these numbers are subject to change.
