A framework for decision analysis, which has been applied on an operational offshore system and is based on a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) process, is presented in this paper. This provides a generic methodology for the evaluation of alternatives and implementation of operational and design improvements based on the experience gained from past failures. The Failure Modes and Effects Analysis...
Water scarcity in small Aegean islands is considered a major problem for their development. On the other hand high potential renewable energy sources are available. Therefore a floating desalination unit was developed in order to treat the problem in an ecological manner. The floating unit has been operating for four years at sea close to a small island. Marine environment and autonomous remote operation...
One of the most critical systems for a ship operation is the diesel generator set. This is why the ship preserves four different diesel generators except the power battery packs. The paper describes the generator operation and the main failure conditions. Assuming that the failure rate of the system parts is constant the paper shows how the diesel generator system could be modelled in the context...
