Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    The course will start with an introductory phase focusing on basic concepts and frameworks for engineering risk and safety. These are subsequently linked to specific methods for hazard identification, risk analysis and safety engineering. An overview is given of the maritime safety regulatory regime and the main regulations. Selected topics related to ship design or operation are addressed in greater depth.

  • Applies in this implementation:

    The course consists of six lectures:

    Lecture 1. Introduction, maritime accidents, rules
    and regulations

    Lecture 2.  Introduction to Reliability
    Theory, traditional methods for safety and risk analysis (FTA, HAZOP, FMEA) and systems safety engineering

    Lecture 3. System-theoretic Accident Model Process (STAMP) and its family tools

    Lecture 4. Risk and goal-based ship design

    Lecture 5. Arctic Shipping and Pollution Prevention (Guest Lecture)

    Lecture 6. Workshop and presentation of the final assignment
