This research is the study on human reliability analysis on maritime pilotage
operation. This study is conducted to find out the factor of the effect the pilotage
operation and to analyse the most important factor for this research. The suggested
recommendation also have been presented in this case study to relate the factor that
effect the pilotage operation.A wide range of accidents in the maritime domain are
attributed to human error, and researchers claim between 80-85 % for such errors
in the maritime industry (Di Pasquale,Miranda, Iannone, & Riemma, 2015) Critical
situations within maritime operations need to be understood to implement measures
that reduce the probability and consequences of human errors in the pilotage
operation. From the the objective, this research have review the 50 case study on
accident of pilotage operation from Global Integrated Shipping Information System
from 2007 until 2016 to find out the factor that effect the reliability of pilot. Analytic
Hierarchy Process (AHP) have been used to collect the data through the
questionnaire that distributed to port authority and pilot management. Primary data
from survey and questionnaire and the secondary data is case study and articles.
Benefit of this research has demonstrated the Human Reliability Analysis
methodology in facilitating the process of human errors identification in maritime
operations. This method has a significant contribution to increase the consistency of
findings as well as to prevent the possible manipulation of data in maritime accident
investigation reports. Furthermore, this method will serve as a base for future human
cognitive error aspect. Identifying the human cognitive errors that frequently result
in the occurrence of maritime accidents can lead to the development of appropriate
prevention and recovery options in Human Reliability Assessment (HRA) process.
