It evidences the "Relationship on marine lefts 2015" realized from the Head office for the vigilance on the Harbour Authorities of the Ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports, that it contains a study on dynamics and the more frequent causes of the incidents and marine lefts, with the objective to characterize and to resolve the existing criticalities. Moreover, through the location of the causes and the more recurrent dynamics and to the emanation of useful recommendations to their prevention, the document proposes which instrument useful for operators of the marine section in order to elevate the levels of safety of marine navigation and the job on board of the ships.
The relationship evidences among other things that in the period the 2007-2015 sinistrosità of the sun national ships has turned out in constant decrease beginning from year 2009, even if an increment in the annual consistency has has been found of the deaths that of the woundings in the marine lefts had to the two serious incidents happened in 2012 and 2014 to the ships Costa Concordia and Norman Atlantic mainly, within an otherwise more rather uniform picture are of the deaths are of the woundings caused from marine left, that they appear indeed in bending in the course of last biennium 2014-2015.
Moreover the specific document that the total picture of the incidents been necessary in national waters, or those to bordering they, independently from their flag, anticipates given contrasting: even if the number of incidents in sea has turned out decreasing beginning from 2009, a fort has been found increment in the number of woundings and deaths in sea in the years from 2011 to 2013 had to most serious marine lefts been necessary to ships of unknown or non-EU origin mainly.
In the majority of the characterized cases, as root cause of the left has turned out predominant human error (50.43% of the factors motives characterized in period 2007-2015). Moreover the criticalities tied to the goods or people, transported on board in amount excessive or distributed in way have been found that the type of more frequent marine left, that is the sinkings, mainly has as factors motives the errors or the omissions in the maintenance of the naval unit and the onboard equipments, and such to return the naval unit unstable. Instead others two frequent categories of left much, happened altogether on beyond half of the units of commercial type, that is the collisions and hit to it, it has turned out are caused pre-eminent by criticality tied to the lacked observance of the rules from 5 to 7 and 1/2 to 18 Regolamento COLREG, and in particular to the lacked observance the lookout-post service on board of the ship.
