Preface

Risk-based ship design is a new scientiﬁc and engineering ﬁeld of growing inter-

est to researchers, engineers and professionals from various disciplines related to

ship design, construction, operation and regulation. Applications of risk-based ap-

proaches in the maritime industry started in the early 1960s with the introduction

of the concept of probabilistic ship’s damage stability. In the following, they were

widely applied within the offshore sector and are now being adapted and utilized

within the ship technology and shipping sector.

The main motivation to use risk-based approaches is twofold: implement a novel

ship design which is considered safe but – for some formal reason – cannot be

approved today and/or rationally optimise an existing design with respect to safety,

without compromising on efﬁciency and performance.

The present book derives from the knowledge 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 topic of SAFEDOR is risk-based ship design, operation and regulation. The

project started in February 2005 and will be completed in April 2009. Under the

coordination of Germanischer Lloyd, 52 European organizations – representing all

stakeholders of the maritime industry – took part in this important R&D project.

The present book does not aim to be a textbook for postgraduate studies, as con-

tributions to the subject topic are still evolving and some time will be necessary

until maturity. However, as the topic of risk-based design, operation and regulation

is almost absent from today’s universities’ curricula, the book aims to contribute to

the necessary enhancement of academic curricula to address this important subject

to the maritime industry. Therefore, the aim of the book is to provide the readers

with 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 the research conducted within the SAFEDOR project to the wider

maritime community and nurtures inculcation upon scientiﬁc approaches dealing

with risk-based design and ship safety.

The book is introduced by an overview of risk-based approaches to the maritime

industry in Chap. 1 by Dr. Pierre C. Sames (Germanischer Lloyd). The risk-based
