A model of performance-oriented risk-based assessment of safety of container ships

The paper presents some information on a performance-oriented risk-based model for assessment of safety of ships in damaged conditions. The design for safety process is integrated with the risk analysis. As safety is treated as one between the main design objectives such an approach is called the risk-based design. The assessment of safety is based on the risk level. The risk level is evaluated according to the risk-based criteria. For the risk analysis the Formal Safety Assessment methodology has been applied
