Safety, Risk Assessment and Environmental Management in the Shipping Industry
Safety can become a factor of major importance for evaluation of a Shipyard by Oil Companies and Ship Owners for deciding to award their vessels for repairs. Safety is even considered today as an integral part of the Quality System. A new development in Safety Systems of Shipyards today is the requirement to not only deal with Safety problems but also to address, at an early stage, the risks, their importance, their severity, frequency of occurrence, impact on the environment etc. and take the appropriate measures to minimize or eliminate them through a Risk Assessment System. A similar Risk Assessment System, titled Formal Safety Assessment System (FSA), is presently under development by IMO for ships and is expected to be implemented in the near future. Finally both Safety and Risk Assessment Systems are closely interrelated with Environment Protection Systems in an Overall Management System. The present Paper deals in particular with subjects of Safety, Risk Assessment and Environment Protection related to Ships, whether these are in the Shipyard under Construction, Repairs or at Sea.
