An overview of risk assessment methods for marine power systems

The maritime sector is exploring the applicability of alternative powering options and ways to implement new technologies to increase safety, efficiency, and autonomy of ship power systems. The technological development of power systems, their complexity, and high costs of their malfunction or downtime have led to employment of different approaches in safety engineering. In order to reduce hazards and failures in ship operation, shipbuilders use several methods during design phase to identify, investigate and manage all safety concerns. For this purpose, there is range of methods, as for instance Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Event Tree Analysis (ETA), Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), which can be used separately or combined. This paper reviews these methods with their advantages and limitations in their application to risk assessment of ship power systems.
