The AcciMap technique has been a fundamental tool for examining accidents and their causal factors across complex socio-technical systems. This study utilized the AcciMap framework to evaluate ferry navigation accidents in the Mombasa Channel from 2011 to 2020. It categorized the identified causal factors into four primary levels of AcciMap: government, regulatory bodies, ferry operating companies, and ferry operators, including environmental and equipment conditions. The aim is to assess these factors to address systemic deficiencies in ferry operations within the channel. The findings highlight significant gaps in the ferry operation system by using a cause-and-effect analysis. Based on this assessment, the paper offers recommendations to rectify these deficiencies and improve safety in ferry operations. This research underscores the utility of system theory-based tools in uncovering complex, multifaceted causes of ferry accidents and providing a robust framework for enhancing maritime transportation safety.
