Quantitative risk assessment of new ship designs in damage conditions

The paper is devoted to safety of ships in damage conditions. The novel contribution of the paper is connected with a new Multi-Task ship ( MT-ship) design at the preliminary stage of design. There are a few problems at the preliminary stage that should be considered. One problem is connected with if the quantitative risk-based method is a reliable and formal method for safety assessment of such the new design ( MT-ship) in damage conditions. The current method of safety assessment of commercial ships in damage conditions is based on the requirements included in the SOLAS 2009 regulations. The methods of safety assessment of navy ships in damage conditions belong to the different classification societies and navies. Further development of the SSADC method is connected with its application for safety assessment of a few novel designs.
