The article focuses on the main factors influencing the safety of navigation, such as natural factors, man-made impact, depreciation aspect, operational impact and human factor. The analysis of marine accidents in the far East region determined the value of its technical component. The statistics of the machinery failures on fishing vessels is given. One out of ten accidents has been stated to occur as a result of force majeure events, three quarters of the accidents are related to the human factor in the form of personnel erroneous actions, the rest happen due to technical imperfection of the ships. The chart shows the distribution of accidents by years due to failures and breakdowns of ship technical equipment given in percentage figures. Breakdowns of the main engines, auxiliary mechanisms and their elements, including their systems, annually make up 33.9 - 40.7% of the total number of accidents. Characteristic failures of ship technical equipment are: breakdowns of the main engines, auxiliary diesel generators, auxiliary mechanisms, electrical equipment, screw-steering complex with the shaft line, automation systems. Statistics of the causes of breakdowns of propulsion plant, auxiliaries, main systems and their elements is proportional to the data of similar studies. An attempt has been made to evaluate the importance of the operator-machine link at all levels of responsibility for coastal personnel and ship crews. The impact on the man-machine link in the whole chain of operation of the vessel is important; thus, there was set a task to carry out a quantitative investigation of the reliability of this link. In terms of the ergotechnical component of the fishing fleet operation there has been substantiated the necessity of developing measures (technical, economic, informational, legal) to improve the quality of the vessel activity.
