KEY: R = revised; U = data
are not available.
a Fatalities include the
number of people who died or were declared missing subsequent to a marine
accident.
b Accidents in this
table include the number of "marine casualty cases" reported to the
U.S. Coast Guard in accordance with 46 U.S.C. 4.05.
c More than one vessel
may be involved in a marine accident. Data from 1992 to 2003 has been revised
to include vessels involved in pollution incidents, which the United States
Coast Guard considers to be a vessel casualty. Data includes all vessel
mishaps involving marine pollution discharges.
NOTES
All deaths and injuries cited result from vessel casualties,
such as groundings, collisions, fires, or explosions. The data are for all commercial vessels
under U.S. jurisdiction, including U.S. flag vessels anywhere in the world
and foreign flag vessels within the
jurisdiction of the United States (within 12 miles, or having an
interaction with a U.S. entity, such as a platform within 200 miles, or a
collision with a U.S. ship). Includes
commercial fishing vessels.
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.
