The contribution of risk management in ship management: The case of ship collision

Effect of Human Behaviour in Shipboard Firefighting Decisions: The Case of Fire in Engine Rooms

“…Then, the reduction of risk could be achieved with improved detection of worsened conditions that could lead to failure (Bowles, Anderson & Glover, ). The approach adopted in this study for the determination of the main fire scenarios in engine room incident is to review a database of past case incidents, as suggested by Karahalios (). Based on this approach, the probability of an incident and its consequences can be calculated.…”

“…An SMS should include organizational factors, such as plans for shipboard operation and emergency preparedness, where an evaluation of possible accident sources in ship operations and their mitigation are required (Schröder‐Hinrichs et al., ). With respect to emergency preparation, the IMO has developed a guideline for the Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) and although its scope is limited to oil pollution damage, the risk of fire is included (Karahalios, ). To comply with the SOPEP guideline, a prudent ship operator should have established firefighting procedures, as part of shipboard contingency planning.…”

Quantification of human error probability towards the gas inerting process on-board crude oil tankers

“…The authors utilised different methods involving Dow, Bleve and VCE techniques to assess fire and explosion risk in the LNG ships. Moreover, Karahalios (2014) has conducted a research article to enhance the risk management principles by integrating fuzzy sets into Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).…”

The management in response to marine oil spill from ships in China: A systematic review

“…Human error is one of the main causes leading to a collision incident. This suggests that there are still deficiencies in crew's security awareness, operation ability, judgment and comprehensive evaluation ability (Karahalios, 2014). So, the relevant management departments should pay more attention to the improvement of the crew's comprehensive quality, and make them regularly take part in pollution prevention knowledge and skills training.…”
