Open Workshop on Risk-Based Approaches in the Maritime Industry 22nd and 23rd May 2007 Held at National Maritime Research Institute (NMRI) Tokyo, Japan Jointly Organised by National Maritime Research Institute and SAFEDOR and The Japanese Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers and Japan Ship Technology Research Association with invited presentations from the Republic of Korea Report of the workshop (English) (Japanese) Risk-Based Ship Design and Approval Risk-based approaches in the shipping industry started with the concept of probabilistic damage stability in the early sixties, and risk-based design is now being adapted, extended and increasingly utilised within the shipping sector. Risk-based ship design introduces risk analysis into the traditional design process aiming to meet safety objectives cost effectively. Risk is used to measure the safety performance. With safety becoming measurable, the design optimisation can be expanded and a new objective - minimise risk - is addressed alongside traditional design objectives relating to earning potential, speed and cargo carrying capacity. Approval of risk-based ships and their systems - conveniently called Risk-Based Approval - is the process to identify and resolve issues relating to the regulatory acceptance of the proposed design. The approval process needs to take into account the risk assessment for the ship and its systems and, therefore, a careful review of risk analysis and establishment of risk acceptance criteria are central elements. The EC funded integrated project SAFEDOR - design, operation, regulation for safety - addresses both risk-based ship design and approval and key elements will be presented. Workshop Outline This two-day workshop starts with an overview of risk-based design and continues to explore available risk modelling techniques and advanced tools for risk quantification. A workshop on tool availability concludes day one. The second day of the course is devoted to risk-based approval focussing on ship system approval, acceptance criteria and the current and expected regulatory developments at IMO under the headlines of FSA and GBS. Expected Benefits and Participants Risk-based ship design and approval is expected to deliver ever more innovative and competitive maritime transport solutions. And, risk-based methods will increasingly be applied to sustain the safety of shipping. The workshop will present state-of-the-art of risk-based approaches in the maritime industry. The workshop is designed to attract professionals from organisations within the maritime industry, including: designers, operators, regulatory authorities, classification societies, and educators.
