Accident
investigations are essential for preventing future accidents. According to
investigation findings, the number of accidents that happen at night is higher,
and the consequences are more severe. The difference in the number of accidents
and their causes between day and night is a critical issue that requires
attention. The Canakkale and Istanbul Straits should be investigated in terms
of these distinct differences in accident times. These straits have
considerable marine traffic both day and night, increasing the potential for accidents.
The aim of this study is to analyze the accident times in the Istanbul and
Canakkale Straits in terms of ship watches. Between 2001 and 2016, 451
grounding and collision accidents occurred in the straits. The accident data
were analyzed using SPSS and the Chi-Square test. Examining the data reveals a
considerable difference in the number of accidents occurring between night
watches and day watches, with night watches having more accidents. The tests
revealed this difference to be statistically significant. The findings of this
study support previously discovered links between circadian rhythm and ship
watches.
