Energy Efficient Safe SHip OPERAtion (SHOPERA)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
The 2012 guidelines on the attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships (MEPC.212(63)) represent a major step forward in implementing the REGULATIONS ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF SHIPS (resolution MEPC.203(62)). There are, however, serious concerns regarding the sufficiency of propulsion power and of steering devices to maintain the manoeuvrability of ships in adverse conditions, hence ...

Human Factors in Risk-Based Ship Design Methodology (FAROS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Up to 96% of maritime accidents (collision, grounding, fire, occupational accidents) are routinely attributed to human error. However, rather than assessing the ship performance in terms of global design factors such as ship motions and noise, the human element studies have primarily focused on local design features (e.g., bridge design) that are relatively easy to fix and tune towards required ef ...
