Managing and Mitigating the Risks of Materials Selection for the Winterisation of Exposed Deck Equipment and Systems

More and more ships are operating in cold climates. At the time of design such ships require a focused review of their arrangements, systems and components. Coupled with the increased number of ships operating in cold regions, is an increase in specialized ships being designed and built for dedicated trade routes or specific locations, or modes of operations. This level of specialization also requires a focused review to account for the peculiarities of the ship design and operating environment. This paper discusses the development of Lloyd’s Register’s winterization rules which account for the specific nature of operating in low temperature environments, and in particular focuses on the need to undertake a systematic review of the ship and its systems, using in this instance a risk assessment approach for materials selection of deck equipment and systems as an illustrative example. This paper highlights some of the considerations in undertaking this approach and outlines how the results of risk assessments may be applied in the context of winterization rules.
