These Vessels were not part <strong>of</strong> the accident, but theaccident may have occurred on the Vessel (e.g., crewmembers swept overboard by a wave).NOTESFigures reflect the number <strong>of</strong> 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,homicides, 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 <strong>of</strong> the United States (within 12 miles <strong>of</strong> U.S. coast) and on U.S. flag vessels anywherein the world.1992-97 data come from the Marine Safety Management Information System. Between 1998 and 2001 the U.S. Coast Guardphased in a new computer system to track safety data, the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System. During thatperiod data come from combining entries in the Marine Safety Management Information System with entries in the MarineInformation for Safety and Law Enforcement System. Data for 2002 to 2010 come from the Marine Information for Safety and LawEnforcement System. Data prior to 1992 come from other sources and may not be directly comparable to the data from later years.SOURCES1970-2002: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, U.S. Coast Guard, Data Administration Division (G-MRI-1), personalcommunications, June 29, 2004, June 8, 2005, and June 22, 2007.2003-10: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, Office <strong>of</strong> Investigations and Analysis CG-545, personalcommunication, Apr. 28, 2011.
