A method of risk and safety assessment during the ship salvage using the hazard, release and consequence analysis

Abstract

The paper concerns the ship salvage. The existing methods are very difficult to apply for the salvage purposes. A method based on the risk and safety assessment of ships in damaged conditions is presented in the paper. The level of risk is the measure of safety. The method applies the ship performance approach together with the risk assessment. The risk analysis is based on application of the matrix type risk model. The risk model enables to consider many possible scenarios of an accident using the Event Tree Analysis ETA concerning the hazards, releases and consequences. © 2010, Versita. All rights reserved.
