Ship Engine Room Casualty Analysis by Using Decision Tree Method

Ships may encounter undesirable conditions during operations. In consequence of a casualty, fire, explosion, flooding, grounding, injury even death may occur. Besides, these results can be avoidable with precautions and preventive operating processes. In maritime transportation, casualties depend on various factors. These were listed as misuse of the engine equipment and tools, defective machinery or equipment, inadequacy of operational procedure and measure of safety and force majeure (böyle bir kelime yok, yazarlara sorulsun)seffects. Casualty reports which were published in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada and United States until 2015 were examined and the probable causes and consequences of casualties were determined with their occurrence percentages. In this study, 89 marine investigation reports regarding engine room casualties were analyzed. Casualty factors were analyzed with their frequency percentages and also their main causes were constructed. This study aims to investigate engine room based casualties, frequency of each casualty type and main causes by using decision tree method.

Karar Aðacý Metodu ile Gemi Makine Dairesi Kazalarýnýn Analizi

Gemiler, operasyonlarý sýrasýnda istenmeyen koþullar ve kazalarla karþýlaþabilirler. Kaza sonucu gemilerde yangýn, patlama, su alma, karaya oturma, yaralanma ve diðer hasarlar meydana gelebilir. Ancak, önlemler ve önleyici iþlemler ile bu sonuçlar engellenebilir. Deniz taþýmacýlýðýnda kaza sonucu ortaya çýkan kayýplar çeþitli faktörlere baðlýdýr. Kazaya sebep olan faktörler, makine ve teçhizatýnýn yanlýþ kullanýmý veya arýzalý olmasý, operasyonel prosedürlerin ve emniyet tedbirlerinin yetersizliði ve önlenemeyen mücbir sebeplerin ortaya çýkmasý olarak kabul edilebilir. Bu çalýþmada, 2015 yýlýna kadar Avustralya, Yeni Zelanda, Birleþik Krallýk, Kanada ve Amerika Birleþik Devletleri'nde yayýnlanan kaza raporlarý incelenmiþ ve makine dairesi ile ilgili 89 adet kazayý oluþturan faktörler, kazalarýn oluþum sýklýklarý ve kök sebepleri belirlenmiþtir. Bu çalýþmanýn amacý, incelenen makine dairesi kazalarýnýn, oluþum sýklýklarý ve kök sebeplerini, Karar Aðacý yöntemi kullanarak deðerlendirmek ve literatürdeki boþluðu doldurmaktýr.
