Abstract
This study aimed to extract the priority safety improvement factors for coastal passenger ships and analyze the perception gap between groups. To extract the improvement factors, we formed an expert group with maritime safety supervisors, passenger-ship safety inspectors (PSIs), and captains of passenger ships, and then conducted a Delphi survey. We found, using a hierarchy process, that the improvement factors were divided into three factors in Level 1 and ten factors in Level 2. For the relative importance analysis using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) model, we also formed two groups: an inspector group with maritime safety supervisors and PSIs, and an examinee group with safety managers, captains, and crews. Consequently, the factors of designation of public transportation for passenger ships and supporting the welfare of the crew were evaluated as the most important among the extracted factors. We conducted a t-test for the analysis of the perception gap between the two groups. Three perception gaps were found: increasing the inspection personnel, strengthening the qualification of the inspection personnel, and expanding the safety operation center. The result of this study will be useful for improving the safety policy of coastal passenger ships.
