Download or read book Maritime Transportation written by Stein Haugen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental and human costs of marine accidents are high, and risks are considerable. At the same time, expectations from society for the safety of maritime transportation, like most other activities, increase continuously. To meet these expectations, systematic methods for understanding and managing the risks in a cost-efficient manner are needed. This book provides readers with an understanding of how to approach this problem. Firmly set within the context of the maritime industry, systematic methods for safety management and risk assessment are described. The legal framework and the risk picture within the maritime industry provide necessary context. Safety management is a continuous and wide-ranging process, with a set of methods and tools to support the process. The book provides guidance on how to approach safety management, with many examples from the maritime industry to illustrate practical use. This extensively revised new edition addresses the needs of students and professionals working in shipping management, ship design and naval architecture, and transport management, as well as safety management, insurance, and accident investigation.

Download or read book Risk Based Ship Design written by Apostolos Papanikolaou and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-09 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk-based ship design is a new scientific and engineering field of growing interest to researchers, engineers and professionals from various disciplines related to ship design, construction, operation and regulation. The main motivation to use risk-based approaches is twofold: implement a novel ship design which is considered safe but - for some formal, regulatory reason - cannot be approved today and/or rationally optimize an existing design with respect to safety, without compromising on efficiency and performance. It is a clear direction that all future technological and regulatory (International Maritime Organisation) developments regarding ship design and operation will go through risk-based procedures, which are known and well established in other industries (e.g. nuclear, aviation). 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 book aims to provide 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 recent research work to the wider maritime community and advances scientific approaches dealing with risk-based design and ship safety.

Download or read book A Guide to Fire and Gas Detection Design in Hazardous Industries written by James McNay and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-08-10 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last 15 years, the field of fire and gas mapping has grown extensively, yet very little is published on the subject. The text includes deeper discussions on important engineering factors associated with fire and gas detection, along with anecdotes and examples. It will guide the readers on what to consider when you do not have access to proprietary guides, and how to interpret the design process even when one does not have access to a guidance document. The text covers important topics including visual flame detection, flame detection mapping, infrared point gas detector (IRPGD), infrared open path gas detector (OPGD), ultrasonic/acoustic design, and gas detection mapping. The book plays the following roles: Explores practical aspects of designing a detection layout Enables users in interpreting a detector data sheet and coverage analysis Teaches readers working on a project to cut through the marketing of detection and design an effective system Inclusion of real-life experiences on projects will provide engineers with clear examples of where things can, and often do, go wrong It is an ideal text for professionals and graduate students working in the fields of occupational health and safety, fire protection engineering, and environmental safety. The text discusses fundamental aspects of fire and gas mapping, which has been applied with great success in many parts of the world and is commonly adopted by the major operators in the process industries.
