The paper presents the basic elements of a hybrid model for assessing the safety of ships in a damaged condition. The model is hybrid in nature due to the fact that it is aimed at assessing the ship’s behavior from a hydromechanical point of view, assessing the risk of an accident, and managing safety. A holistic approach to safety has been applied.Risk estimation is based on assessing the ship’s behavior based on its hydromechanical characteristics in a damaged condition. A risk matrix or the ALARP concept can be used for risk assessment. The measure of ship safety is the level of risk. The basic elements of the procedure for managing the safety of a ship in a damaged condition, which is an integral part of the model, are presented. The procedure is based on rapid modeling of the situation at sea, ship behavior, risk assessment, and risk management.
Hibrid model for rapid assessment of ship safety during a catastrophe at sea
Abstract
The main components of the hybrid model for assessment of safety of ships in damaged conditions are presented in the paper. The model is of hybrid character is it is devoted towards assessing the ship behavior from the hydromechanics point of view, risk assessment and safety assessment. The holistic approach to safety has been applied. The risk estimation is based on assessment of the ship behavior based on its hydromechanics’ characteristics in damaged conditions. For the risk assessment the risk matrix or
ALARP concept may be used. The ship safety measure is the level of risk. The major elements of the procedure for the safety management of ships in damaged conditions which an integral part of the model is presented. The procedure is based on the rapid modeling of the situation at sea, ship behavior, risk assessment and risk management. (…)
