This study systematically examines the critical issue of human error within ship operations and maintenance, focusing on the challenges in fully integrating technology to enhance maritime safety on merchant vessels. The investigation into the root causes of human errors, alongside an understanding of accident causation, forms the basis of this research. This work aims to identify effective mitigation strategies to improve ship management and safety by scrutinizing marine accidents attributable to human negligence or unsafe technology use. An analysis of marine human factor literature from 2010 to 2022, employing traditional and Integrative Literature Review Analysis methods, highlights the vital role of collaboration among seafarers and the necessity of comprehensive training. The findings reveal that categories related to human factors significantly contribute to marine accidents. It is posited that focused attention on these categories and the enhancement of seafarers' competencies could lead to a notable reduction in incidents, thereby bolstering overall shipping and maritime safety.
