This study conducts a practical application of shipboard operation human reliability analysis (SOHRA) to a crankshaft overhauling operation of a general cargo ship at dry-docking period. The SOHRA approach includes error producing condition (EPC) and general task type (GTT) parameters to consistently calculate the human error probability (HEP) valu...
This study develops a knowledge-based planned maintenance system (PMS) supported by reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) analysis. The system enables maintenance plan revisions based on the data analysis which calculates instant RAM values and predicts the future trends. The visualised data is monitored to support decisions at both t...
Maritime inspection analysis has become an emerging topic in recent years, as practical solutions are sought to improve the pre- and post-inspection analysis in shipping operations. With a focus on finding practical solutions to enhance the pre- and post-inspection process in shipping operations, such as The Oil Companies International Marine Forum...
The maritime industry continues to follow the developing and changing technology. On the other
hand, maritime companies have difficulties in using technology both to comply with the updated rules and
to provide an efficient operation. However, changing and applying change management is very important
to get a bigger share of the pie in the industry...
The human element is a key aspect of safety at sea. It is highlighted as the most contributing factor to the various accidents, incidents, hazardous occurrences and near-miss events onboard ships. This paper proposed a hybrid approach to systematically identify the causations leading to the occurrence of near-miss events onboard ships. The methodol...
This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric review of 123 papers, authored by 359 scholars, on maritime inspection analysis published in 77 scientific journals. The bibliographical data are analyzed in R software using the Bibliometrix tool. The most influential publications, journals, authors, and institutions are identified using citation an...
This study proposes a methodology to deeply analyze the multi-source inspection/audit findings gathered from a ship fleet to promote and implement proactive measures systematically. In addition to the ship audit reports of Company-A operating 16 bulk carriers in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, the multi-source inspection database also consists...
The purpose of the Reliability Availability and Maintainability (RAM) analysis is to predict the future availability of a system, identify any changes that would be beneficial to the system if needed. It also supports decisions on whether to implement these changes. RAM analysis has been used by companies for many years. Companies conduct RAM analy...
Marine engineering officers are often challenged with unexpected malfunctions, errors, and many other problems on-board a ship. These faults occur frequently due to the continuous operation of merchant ships. In order to avoid interruption of trade with ships, faults must be rectified as quickly as possible. In addition, rapid and effective respons...
Lack of situational awareness of the ship crew is one of the major problems in the maritime industry. Since the shipping operations mostly consist of routine and repetitive tasks, situational awareness can be decreased dramatically on-board a ship. According to the accident causation reports, lack of situational awareness greatly increase the proba...
Majority of the world trade is carried out by ships due to their economic advantages comparing with other transportation methods. For ship owners, trade ships may have high operating and maintenance costs if ship engine room crew is not aware of the consequences of poor maintenance, inadequate operation, system reliability and etc. Besides, continu...
