Maritime Safety Through Systems Safety Engineering

1.INTRODUCTION In current semmars and conferences about marine transportation safety and shipping safety, the Internationsl safety Code(ISM)is one of the hot topics. In this paper the authors introduce the concepts Of systems safety engineering(SSE). The historical backgrounds of both ISM and SBE are described. The authors compare the concepts of both ISM and SSE. The advantages of SSE are discussed. The authors also introduce the SSE programme plan and SSE activities. 2.DEFINITIONS OF SAFETY If we look for the definition Of safety in an English dictionary, it tells you that safety is a noun meaning a state of being free from harm or danger. To expand the dictionary definition technically, we might define safety as "A measure that determines to what extend the management, technology and operation of a system is free from danger to life, property and the environment".     

Potential Health and Safety Hazards of Marine Lubricants

1. Introduction Marine lubricants are generally formulated from highly refined mineral oils and special additive systems; a limited number of products Within the range utilize synthetic base oil (Morrison and Boyd, 1969). To ensure health and safty when using any petroleum product it is essential that: ●it is used only for the purposes for which it is intended, ●it is safety and hygiere conditions are observed. Health and safety aspects which is intended to assist the management of shipping companies to ensure that all personnel coming into direct contact With lubricants are familiar with the potential hazards associated With them,

在海上航运中用于位置感知管理和控制系统的可重用C++类的开发(英文)

Location aware management and location based automation are fast upcoming technologies which are facilitated by availability of reliable, accurate, and cheap global positioning systems and location based services. This paper discusses the development of C++ classes, which may be used for development of software for location aware management and control, specifically in merchant shipping, so as to provide improved safety, increased automation, prevention of pollution and reducing the work burden of the crew. The GPS is used in conjunction with the regionally accessible nested global shorelines (RANGS) dataset for this purpose. The design of two main C++ classes named CShorelines and CGPSInput have been discussed. A control system mandatory on all oil-tankers above 150 GRT (and few other vessels) called ODMCS has been made location aware using the novel software developed and the results obtained have been critically examined and presented.
