In maritime transport, evacuation, escape and rescue play a crucial role in protecting people's lives when passenger ship is involved serious accident. The study aims to develop new method identify hazards, quantify rank the associated risks process of Human Evacuation from Passenger Ships (HEPS). Firstly, based on extensive literature review marine accident investigation reports, risk factors affecting evacuation were analysed identified, an analysis framework Human, Ship, Environment...
As public concern for maritime safety grows, there is a pressing need to delve deeper into the root causes of accidents and develop effective preventive strategies. Spatial-temporal analysis stands out as powerful approach pinpointing accident hot spots. While previous research has shed light on spatial aspects these incidents, comprehensive understanding their temporal dimensions remains elusive. This paper bridges this gap by leveraging Space-Time Cube tool in conjunction with traditional...
This study examines and analyzes marine accidents that have occurred over the past 20 years in Black Sea. Geographic information system, human factor analysis classification system (HFACS), Bayesian network models are used to analyze accidents. The most important feature distinguishing this from other studies is first across whole Another application of a new HFACS structure reveal accident formation patterns. results indicate high concentrations coastal regions Sea, especially Kerch Strait,...
Ship collision risk estimation is an essential component of intelligent maritime surveillance systems. Traditional approaches, which can only analyse traffic in one specific scale, reveal a significant challenge quantifying the scenario from different spatial scales. This detrimental to understanding situations and supporting effective anti-collision decision-making, particularly as complexity grows autonomous ships emerge. In this study, systematic multi-scale approach newly developed...
Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) is a critical component of intelligent maritime traffic surveillance. However, it becomes increasingly challenging to gain MSA accurately given the growing complexity ship patterns due multi-ship interactions possibly involving classical manned ships and emerging autonomous ships. This study proposes new partitioning methodology realise optimal partition in complex waters. The combines conflict criticality spatial distance generate conflict-connected...
This work compares two methodologies to assess different selection approaches, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Multiple Attribute Decision Analysis (MADA) using a combined Evidential Reasoning (ER) AHP approach. evaluation is done depending on: number of alternative criteria, agility through process decision-making, computational complexity, adequacy in supporting group decision, consistency results. Case studies are presented analyze robustness methodology evaluation. The criteria...
Officer of the watch (OOW) is an important part maritime labor market. For many years, countries have been improving their development OOWs for market, in terms both quantity and quality. As supply qualified transportation such issue, shipping companies recruit multinational economic socio-cultural reasons. This study aims to identify qualifications ideal officer that holds office on commercial ships, make a comparison among Filipino, Chinese, Indian, Eastern European Turkish OOWs. The...
Narrow waterways are important connection hubs, also known as logistics transfer nodes, within maritime transport, where traffic can become very dense and congested. Heavy traffic, unsuitable environmental conditions human errors make narrow risky areas for marine accident occurrence. Accidents in cause ship damage, loss of cargo, life disasters, well interruption transport negative impact on the economy. Thus, sustainability navigational safety has been focus attention all beneficiaries...
This article proposes the initial stages of application Bayesian networks in conducting quantitative risk assessment integrity an offshore system. The main focus is construction a network model that demonstrates interactions multiple safety critical elements to analyse asset integrity. majority data required complete was gathered from various databases and past experiments projects. However, where were incomplete or non-existent, expert judgement applied through pairwise comparison,...
Following the updated global sulphur emission cap from 1 January 2020, shipowners are facing an increasing cost burden to comply with new regulation in a tough shipping market. This research compares lifespan costs of three main alternatives, all which can satisfy 2020 regulation. A analysis model is built considering several items across including initial investment, maintenance and fuel consumption cost. Two vessels capacity 5000 10,000 TEUs selected as case study vessels. The @risk...
