在一起航行事故中，首当其冲的调查对象通常包括驾驶台值班人员。尽管人为因素在此类事故中起着重要作用，但也许值得一问的是，如果某些地理区域和其他区域相比，更容易发生航行事故，应当如何处理呢？
大多数调查报告倾向于将航行事故的根本原因归结为“人为失误”。调查时发现的人为失误通常包括：涉事海员缺乏情景意识、瞭望疏忽、不适任等。正如多份调查报告指出的那样，人为失误很可能只是造成事故的诸多因素之一。也许还存在调查时没有注意到的其他因素，例如航行事故频发的地区，或称为“航行事故高发区”。

Incident Hot Spots – A Global Overview of Navigation Incidents
In a navigation incident, the first line of inquiry would normally cover the bridge watchkeepers. While the human element plays a significant role in these incidents, it is perhaps worth asking, what if some geographic areas are more prone to navigation incidents than others?
The majority of the investigation reports tend to conclude that “human error” is the root cause of navigation incidents. Among the findings, human error generally entails; lack of situational awareness, poor lookout and competence of the mariners involved. The human error, as has been observed in several investigation reports, may well be just one of many factors contributing to the incident. There may be other factors which may not have been paid attention to during an investigation, such as geographic areas of high frequency of navigation incidents, or “navigation hot spots”.
