Abstract

Mariners have been concerned about ship safety for ages. Shipbuilders and operators have acknowledged the concepts of vessel stability, the potential of capsizing, and structural integrity since the inception of the maritime shipping industry. In the 18th century, the notions of metacenter and restoring arm as initial stability requirements for tiny heel angles and practical methods for evaluating them were proposed. In 1993, the UK Marine Safety Agency proposed to the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) Marine Safety Committee (MSC) the idea of official safety evaluation with regard to ship design and operations. The proposal was approved, and FSA was elevated to a top priority on the MSC's agenda. IMO has characterised the Formal Safety Assessment procedure as follows: Utilizing risk analysis and cost benefit analysis, this technique aims to improve maritime safety, including protection of life, health, the marine environment, and property. The technique may be used to evaluate vessel safety in a global sense (all systems) or to assess subsystems or particular components of safe operations. It might be used in instances when risk reduction is necessary but choices are not clearly defined and need analysis. It may be used throughout the ship design process or to assess individual operational characteristics of existing vessels. Existing and/or new rules produced using prescriptive or risk-based concepts may be validated using this method. Regarding the subject of piracy, this study covers features of FSA processes and their application into deployment and approval of alternative vessel laws.
