Adding value to passenger ship design

Leading cruise shipyards and operators are increasingly undertaking the development of innovative ship concepts. SafetyatSea has supported the development and verification of safety goals and objectives in relation to damage ship stability and ship survivability, fire safety and evacuation.

Our aim is to promote the use of contemporary knowledge and tools to ensure that safety standards are in line with modern safety expectations. We are working with cruise vessel operators in the development and verification of casualty threshold requirements for flooding and fire in line with recent IMO safe return to port principles.

Risk-based design

During the initial stages of concept ship design, the use of risk analysis is becoming widely used as a tool to evaluate innovative and alternative arrangements related mainly but not limited to damage stability and survivability, fire protection and evacuation arrangements. See more.

Risk-based design is synonymous with the use of explicit risk analysis in support of design decision making.
