Introduction: There are numerous diverse papers that have addressed issues within maritime safety; to date there has been no comprehensive review of this literature to aggregate the causal factors within accidents in shipping and surmise current knowledge.
Methods: This paper reviewed the literature on safety in three key areas: common themes of accidents, the influence of human error, and interventions to make shipping safer. The review included 20 studies of seafaring across the following areas: fatigue, stress, health, situation awareness, teamwork, decision-making, communication, automation, and safety culture.
Results: The review identifies the relative contributions of individual and organizational factors in shipping accidents, and also presents the methodological issues with previous research.
Conclusions: The paper concludes that monitoring and modifying the human factors issues presented in this paper could contribute to maritime safety performance.
Impact On Industry: This review illustrates which human factors issues are prevalent in incidents therefore this gives shipping practitioners a focus for interventions.

The cleanliness of lubricating oil plays a key role in determining the operational health of mechanical systems, serving as a critical metric that delineates the extent of equipment wear. In this study, we present a magnetic-core-type planar coil particle detection sensor. The detection accuracy and detection limit are improved by optimizing the magnetic field inside the sensor.

Objective: Salmon fish farming has become a major industry in Norway, increasingly dependent on contracted maritime transport and different special services. The aim of the paper was to explore work safety for contractors in Norwegian fish farming. Previous research from other industries illustrates contractors are more susceptible to time and work pressure, have more hazardous jobs, and are more accident-prone, compared to fixed employees.

Article Synopsis
- A classification prediction model using Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) is developed to analyze factors leading to escape behaviors in hit-and-run crashes, based on data from the U.S. Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS).
- GBDT outperforms other common methods like CART, Random Forest, and Logistic Regression, achieving the best metrics (lowest negative log-likelihood, misclassification rate, and highest AUC) and showcasing better computational efficiency.
- The GBDT model uncovers previously unmentioned factors, such as crash type and relation to the trafficway, and effectively studies interactions between variables, providing valuable insights for improving hit-and-run incident prevention and safety analysis.
