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). Commercial fishing vessels are included.
For 1992-97, data are obtained 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 this period, data are derived by combining
entries in the Marine Safety Management Information System with entries in
the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System. Data for 2002
and after are from the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement
System. Data for prior 1992 come from
other sources and may not be directly comparable.
