Nautical psychology's future development in the field of safety at sea

摘要

It is well-known that 80 percent of accidents at sea are caused by human factors. Marine science and technology have given huge changes to seafarers' living and working environment, but failed to decrease accidents by a large margin, and increased greatly seafarers' load on body and mind. This gives hidden danger to safety at sea which can not be solved by marine science and technology, but only by nautical psychology Nautical psychology has a bright future in the field of safety at sea.
