“…The greatest advantage of risk assessment is that it can be done before an accident, and prevents accidents through taking near misses into account. In this regard, it is of great importance to record and evaluate near misses in risk assessments (Wang, 2006;İstikbal, 2007;Zhang et al, 2016). Risk management includes continual improvement that enables hazard identification, risk assessment, quick notification, emergency response, and continued improvement of risk management of maritime traffic (İstikbal, 2007;Ece, 2016Ece, , İstikbal, 2016.…”

Areas where fish farms are located and are not usually far from the shore pose a risk to maritime safety. In this regard, the issue has two important aspects: first, navigational hazards on the approach to and proximity to fish farms, such as rocky, shallow, narrow passages, areas with intensive local traffic that are challenging the safety of navigation; the second is the need for a pilot and tugboat (s) for docking or undocking manoeuvres to fish farms with a berth. The offshore aquaculture has made a great leap forward since 2007, but with this development, important issues such as ecosystem conservation, sustainability of seafood, preventing marine transportation related accidents and due measures which should be put into effect gained importance as well. The cultured fish which harvested from cages usually being transported to the processing facilities and customs control locations by vessels. The maritime accidents that may occur during this transportation period have the capacity to harm both the farms and the the ecosystem significantly. As a method for this article, the safety needs of the vessels serving to the fish farms in the cargo transfers are determined, and after this determination, conclusions on how this need can be resolved by use of pilotage and towage services are put forward.

“…According to stakeholder from Greek, British and Dutch diplomats, Thebault (2004) writes that a shortage of oil supply to demand might erupt because of reduced number of supply vessels which are of double hull specification since single hull vessels are to be phased out.This is based on the speculation of the rate at which the phased out single hull vessels will be replaced with the new specification considering their tonnage. The strategy for the approach of double hull according to Wang (2006) or mid-deck structural requirement for recent vessels came into legislature after the incidence of Exxon Valdez which occurred in 1989 causing a lot of damage.…”

“…Such methods enable experts to judge parameters of an event using linguistic terms on a subjective basis, and such evaluations can be subsequently synthesized in a rational manner. Accordingly, a variety of risk assessment methods based on the fuzzy set theory has been developed (Wang, ; Ung et al ., ; Wang, ; Elasyed, ; Ung et al ., ; Celik et al ., ; Moharramnejad et al ., ).…”

Because of the lack or incompleteness of data, a number of maritime risk studies based on fuzzy rule-based approaches have been proposed. However, two drawbacks can be identified in such approaches. The first is the low degree of discrimination of risk results because of the membership function distribution of the linguistic terms describing inputs. The lack of discrimination becomes degenerative in circumstances where the membership functions of linguistic terms are disproportionately distributed. The second is the lack of consideration for different effects of risk results caused by input weights because of the loss of information from the inputs. By developing a new mechanism for constructing rules and fuzzy conclusions, a risk modelling capable of overcoming such difficulties is proposed. The methodology is validated using two case studies selected from the literature. It is concluded that the framework is able to provide better discrimination of risk results. Risk outcomes can be generated with confidence regardless of the membership function shapes of linguistic terms in both the antecedent and consequent parts. It also has the feature that enables risk results to be sensitive to the minor alterations of input weights.
