Changes in ship design and construction mark advancement in the maritime industry. Also, continuous developments in regulatory efforts identify the need to manage and ensure the advancement in design parameters is a step forward - toward a future which remembers marine shipping's disastrous, historical events. The goal of this paper is to outline a method of quantifying marine shipping spill risk...
The primary purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that a range of proposed government actions can and often should be evaluated in a way that includes their effects on personal freedoms. This is illustrated in the case of efforts directed toward recreational boating safety in the United States, and evolves from a multi-year study to recommend the composition of an appropriate risk management system...
International Maritime Organization (IMO) implements the principles of risk management through a systematic process called Formal Safety Assessment (FSA). FSA is a structured and systematic methodology, aimed at enhancing maritime safety, including protection of life, health, the marine environment and property, by using risk analysis and cost benefit assessment. One of the most widely used hazard...
Traditional risk analyses approach for ship collision generally calculates the possibility of ship collision with historical data, mathematical models and consultation of the experts, which only evaluates the present risk level. However, it is obvious that the outcome of the analyses is definitely not appropriate to describe the future of the studied area. This article introduces a new risk analysis...
With the fast development of transportation at sea, establishing vessel traffic services (VTS) is reaching a new high tide in order to more effectively guarantee vessel traffic safety, protect maritime environment and increase traffic efficiency. Formal safety assessment (FSA) has been considered a powerful tool that can help ensure that limited resources are allocated scientifically for these purposes...
Based on a thorough investigation of the pilotage accidents in Shanghai harbour during last 13 years and other effective ways for getting the information about the dangers of the pilotage, the pilotage risks in various navigating areas of Shanghai harbour are presented. Through the analysis of the practical traffic situation and assessment of the pilotage risks, the detailed proposals and systematic...
