It is a clear direction that all future technological and regulatory (International Maritime Organisation) developments regarding ship design and operationwill go through risk-based procedures, which are known and well established in other industries (e.g. nuclear, aviation). The present book derives from theknowledge gained in the course of the project SAFEDOR (Design, Operation and Regulation for Safety), an Integrated Project under the 6th framework programme of the European Commission (IP 516278). The book aims to provide an understanding of the fundamentals and details of the integration of risk-based approaches into the ship design process. The book facilitates the transfer of knowledge from recent research work to the wider maritime community and advances scientific approaches dealing with risk-based design and ship safety. Presents modern risk-based methods and applications to ship design, operation and regulations First book in the field Case studies and many 4-colour flowcharts, graphs and tables INDICE: Editorial.- Introduction to risk-based approaches in the maritime industry.- Risk-Based Ship Design.- Regulatory Framework.- Risk-Based Approval.- Methods and Tools.- Applications.- Acronyms and Glossary.- Subject index.
