Some marine incidents result in consequences to passengers or crew on-board. These consequences can include injury, person over-board or fatalities. Figure 15 shows the incidents involving personal consequence by severity across each year (2016 to 2019).
Figure 16 details the non-fatal personal consequences by crew and passengers. The majority of injuries, illnesses and persons overboard involved crew members.
From 2016 to 2019, a total of 1180 incidents were reported to AMSA which involved a non-fatal injury to a passenger or crew member. Of these, 60% (710 incidents) involved crew.
In 2019, there were 215 reported crew injuries and 104 reported passenger injuries.
Most injuries occurred during incidents classified as less serious. In 2019, 12.9% of injuries occurred as a result of serious incidents. This represents an increase from the previous years.
