Activities:
- To enhance safety and security in shipping by proactive use of risk assessment and cost-benefit techniques
- Enhance safety and security in shipping by innovation and first principle risk based design
- Improve the knowledgebase supporting risk based and probabilistic design
- Develop critical technologies to assess operational, extreme, accidental and catastrophic scenarios, accounting for the human element, and integrate these into a design environment
- Develop and implement effective procedures for safe, secure and economic operation of ships and for training of personnel onboard
- Establish a risk-based rules framework to facilitate first principles approaches to assessing safety
- Produce prototype designs for the key European safety-critical vessels to validate the risk based design methodology and demonstrate its practicability
