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).
NOTE
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. 1992-2000 data come from
the Marine Safety Management Information System. Data for prior years may not
be directly comparable.
