The maritime industry is a high-risk sector, and there is a large number of accidents its stakeholders need to reduce. Lessons learned from the near-miss analysis can prevent accidents and improve safety in the maritime sector. However, to be able to accomplish this task, near-miss events have to be identified and reported. Identification and reporting are dependent on seafarers. If they cannot identify or are unwilling to report a near miss, there will be no analysis, and valuable knowledge will be lost forever. Seafarers' knowledge, attitudes, and opinions on near-misses are important factors in determining the near-miss management system's effectiveness. The authors created a survey to gain insight into these factors. A total of 223 experienced seafarers participated in the survey. The results confirmed that near-misses are underreported and that seafarers do not report every observed near-miss because of reporting barriers. This paper reflects seafarers' perceptions of near-miss reporting and suggests measures to overcome reporting barriers.
