Despite many measures, still from time to time catastrophic events occur, even after reviewing potential scenarios with HAZID tools. Therefore, it is evident that in order to prevent such events, answering the question: "What can go wrong?" requires more enhanced HAZID tools. Recently, new system based approaches have been proposed, such as STPA (system-theoretic process analysis) and Blended Hazid, but for the time being for several reasons their availability for general use is very limited. However, by making use of available advanced software and technology, traditional HAZID tools can still be improved in degree of completeness of identifying possible hazards and in work time efficiency. The new HAZID methodology proposed here, the Data-based semi-Automatic HAZard IDentification (DAHAZID), seeks to identify possible scenarios with a semi-automated system approach. Based on the two traditional HAZID tools, Hazard Operability (HAZOP) Study and Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), the new method will minimize the limitations of each method. This will occur by means of a thorough systematic preparation before the tools are applied. Rather than depending on reading drawings to obtain connectivity information of process system equipment elements, this research is generating and presenting in prepopulated work sheets linked components together with all required information and space to note HAZID results. Next, this method can be integrated with proper guidelines regarding process safer design and hazard analysis. To examine its usefulness, the method will be applied to a case study.

This study is about the development of emergency response guidance by safety index of seakeeping performance which is based on emergency response procedures in the ship through HAZID. These emergency response guidances will contribute to respond ship's abnormal conditions related to seakeeping performance effectively and efficiently to reduce marine accidents.

A risk assessment is performed at the initial design stage of LNG-fuelled ships subject to new fuel supply systems due to marine environmental and emissions regulations. Risk assessment involves a series of logical steps that enable systematic risk analysis and evaluation. LNG-fuelled ships mainly consist of a tank for storing LNG, a gas supply unit for supplying LNG to the engine, an engine using LNG as fuel, and a bunkering manifold for receiving LNG. The components of the LNG fuelled ship are determined according to the characteristics, size, rout, and operating distance. Therefore, the risk factors of each ships are different, and the risk analysis also changes. In this study we consider the systems of ships using LNG as a fuel and analyze the risk assessment of certain cases where the actual risk assessment has been carried out.

근래에 들어, ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) 기술을 비롯한 첨단 디지털 기술의 발전으로, 선박/해양 산업에서 운용되는 시스템들은 더욱 복잡하고 다양해지는 경향을 보이고 있으며, 첨단 시스템 운용의 증가는 기존에 경험하지 못한 새로운 위험에 대한 불안과 함께 더욱 체계적인 방식으로 이러한 위험을 분석 및 제어할 수 있도록 하기 위한 발전된 위험도평가 방법론 적용의 필요성을 야기하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 첨단 디지털 기술이 적용되는 자율운항선박에 대한 위험도평가 절차 및 방법론과 정성적 위험도평가(Qualitative Risk Assessment) 적용 사례를 소개하고자 한다. 자율운항선박의 정성적 위험도평가를 위하여 자율운항 시스템들이 탑재된 자율화 등급 3 수준의 가상 자율운항선박을 선정하고, 기존 유인선박의 운용에 필요한 다양한 기능들과 자율운항선박 운용에 필요한 기능들을 식별하여 비교분석 하였다. 또한, 자율운항선박의 운용에 필요한 다양한 기능들의 실패로 인하여 발생 가능한 위험시나리오들을 식별하고, 식별된 위험시나리오를 바탕으로 자율운항선박의 운용 안전성 향상을 위하여 추가 고려되어야 할 안전조치들을 식별하였다. 본 연구 결과는, 이후 연구 수행 계획인 자율운항선박에 대한 정량적 위험도평가 (Quantitative Risk Assessment) 방법론 개발을 위한 자료로 활용될 예정이다.

Following the application of Formal Safety Assessment(FSA) to bulk carriers, crude oil tankers and large passenger ships, an urgent need to consider the safety of general cargo ships has recently been raised through the International Maritime Organization(IMO)(IMO, 2006a), and related FSA studies are being carried out by International Association of Classification Societies(IACS) as a preparatory work for the discussion on the issue of general cargo ship safety in the IMO committee. FSA is a structured and systematic methodology which is based on the techniques of risk analysis and cost benefit assessment to assist in the decision-making process, and aims at enhancing maritime safety, including protection of life, health, the marine environment and property. FSA can be used as a tool to facilitate the development of regulatory changes equitable to the various parties, with a view to aiding the achievement of consensus, and to help in the evaluation of new regulations and in making a comparison between existing and possibly improved regulations(IMO, 2007). This study aims at verifying the usefulness of FSA methods as a tool to conduct a safety assessment of general cargo ships flying the Korean flag, and providing useful information on 'the safety of general cargo ships' for IMO committee's discussion on the matter at a future session. FSA comprises five steps, however, steps 1(Hazard identification) and 2 (Risk analysis) from the FSA study for the Korean-flagged general cargo ships are discussed in this paper.

A number of maritime accidents, and accident response activities, including the command and control procedures that were implemented at accident scenes, are analyzed to derive useful information about responding to maritime accidents, and to understand how the chain of events developed after the initial accident. In this research, a new concept of a 'risk based accident response support system' is proposed. In order to identify the event chains and associated hazards related to the accident response activities, this study proposes a 'Brainstorming technique for scenario identification', based on the concept of the HAZID technique. A modified version of Event Tree Analysis was used for quantitative risk analysis of maritime accident response activities. PERT/CPM was used to analyze accident response activities and for calculating overall (expected) response activity completion time. Also, the risk based accident response support system proposed in this paper is explained using a simple case study of risk analysis for oil tanker grounding accident response.
