Abstract

Vessel-related fatalities on small passenger vessels are rare. Only 46 of 246 passenger deaths reported to the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) between 1992 and Sept. 30, 2000, involved vessels or vessel systems regulated by the USCG. The other 200 fatalities were attributed to non-vessel factors, including driving/swimming accidents (116), natural causes (75), and several miscellaneous causes (9). These findings were part of the USCG's recent review of passenger fatalities on commercial vessels under 100 registered gross tons and certificated by the USCG for carrying passengers. This article summarizes the passenger fatalities on small passenger vessels from 1992 to Sept. 30, 2002, identifying the most significant factors involved in these casualties.
