Pilots are always exposed to unpredictable risks of the marine environment because they are boarding the ship through pilot ladders or gangways at sea. Since the pilot plays an important role in securing the safety of ships entering or departing from the port, the injury of the pilot greatly affects the overall safety of the ship. The purpose of this study is to analyze pilot incidents and predict accidents. For this purpose, the pilot injury accident cases are analyzed and potential situations are identified through a survey. And the pilot injury accident was predicted. The results can be used as basic data for prevention of pilot-related accidents.

Maritime pilots are always exposed to unpredictable risks present in the marine environment because they are boarding ships through pilot ladders or accommodation ladders at sea. Since the pilot plays an important role in securing the safety of a ship entering or departing from a port, an injury to the pilot substantially affects the overall safety of the ship. The purpose of this study is to analyze pilot injuries and predict accidents. For this purpose, pilot injury cases are analyzed and potential situations are identified through a survey. Pilot injuries are also predicted. The survey was analyzed using the IPA (Importance-Performance Analysis) methodology, and the binomial distribution and Poisson distribution were used to predict injury trends. As a result of the study, 316.8 nearmiss occurred per pilot injury, and if the current accident management system is maintained, the probability of pilot injury occurring within 3 months is 64.4%. Based on the research results, the need for a management system to prevent pilot injuries and reinforcement of maintenance and installation for pilot ladders was suggested.
