Quantitative human reliability assessment in Marine Engineering Operations
Marine engineering operations rely substantially on high degrees of automation and supervisory control. This brings new opportunities as well as the threat of erroneous human actions, which account for 80-90% of marine incidents and accidents. In this respect, shipping environments are extremely …

Cost modelling for inland waterway transport systems.
Inland waterways have proven to be a significant mode of infrastructure for the carriage of freight. Examples of this can be seen in many developed regions such as Continental Europe, the United States of America and to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom. The benefit resulting from the existence …

A study of 2-stroke marine diesel engine characteristic based on condition based maintenance
… the transmission system to the propeller shaft. Marine diesel engine is the prime mover, which is synonymous in the shipping industry. Most important of criterion for boost the profit margin are the reliability, availability, repair, installation costs, operating costs, flexible and engine size. …

Formal safety assessment of marine applications
… methodologies developed to tackle the areas of engineering cargo handling systems, both at port and on-board vessels, as well as in the area of organisational self-assessment. It continued in reviewing the current status and future aspects of marine safety assessment together with an examination …

Application of formal safety assessment for ship hull vibration modelling
This research has evaluated the rules, guidelines and regulations related to ship vibrations. A historical failure data analysis is carried out to identify associated components, equipment and the areas of defects related to ship vibration problems. Ship Hull Vibration (SHV) is recognised as a …

Technical management of vlcc/vlbc hull structures based on safety case principles
Recent high profile accidents involving environmental damage caused by structural failures in ageing oil tankers and bulk carriers has highlighted the importance of structural integrity issues involving these types of ships. Between 1980 and 1996, there were 186 total losses of bulk and combination …

The assessment and control of risk of collision.
… of the information clearly provided to the mariner gives him a much greater insight into the level of the risk which he is accepting in any situation. A strong risk controllability can be achieved if it is characterised by a relatively high degree of constraints in the fonn of regulation. …

Diagnostic and prognostic analysis tools for monitoring degradation in aged structures
This research addresses the problem of prolonging the life of aged structures of historical value that have already outlived their original designed lives many times. While a lot of research has been carried out in the field of structural monitoring, diagnostics and prognostics for high tech …

Computer aided reliability based design of ring-stiffened cylindrical shells under external pressure
A Level I code format is proposed for the buckling design of ring-stiffened cylindrical shells under external pressure. Depth independent partial safety factors to be applied to the resistance (collapse pressures), are proposed for the four relevant collapse modes (Interframe Shell Collapse, Frame …
