“…The case study in the SCS demonstrates the practicability and feasibility of the model and the solution method. Generally, the coastal states should be prepared to respond when a ship requests assistance [5]. As previously mentioned, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines are coastal countries with extensive coastlines and large shipping fleets.…”

“…The consequences of accidents can be high in terms of the loss of life, injuries, property damage, and environmental degradation. Maritime search and rescue (SAR) is the most important step in the maritime accident response, with the aim of rescuing people in distress or danger at sea, assisting ships in difficult situations, accident prevention, and patient transportation [2][3][4][5]. In order to rescue people fallen overboard quickly, response time is a key factor in maritime SAR, and shorter response times correspond to greater chances for survival [6].…”

Maritime search and rescue (SAR) operations are critical for ensuring safety at sea. Islands have been considered as feasible solutions for the construction of new maritime SAR bases to improve the capacity of SAR operations in remote sea areas. This paper proposes a new framework, based on island spatial information, for determining the optimal locations for maritime SAR bases. The framework comprises four steps. First, candidate islands for the construction of maritime SAR bases are selected. Second, the potential rescue demand is estimated by employing ship location data and marine incident data. In the third step, the response time from candidate islands to any site at sea is calculated, with explicit consideration of the impact of sea conditions on the ship’s speed. Fourth, the final island locations are proposed by solving the maximal covering location problem (MCLP). The proposed framework was applied to the South China Sea. The results showed that there would be a decrease of 1.09 h in terms of the mean access time for the South China Sea if the six selected island bases were constructed, whilst the primary coverage increased from 62.63% to 80.02% when using a 6-hour threshold. This new framework is expected to contribute to improvements in safety at sea and should be applicable to any sea area where the construction of island rescue bases is being considered.

“…IACS (2018) guidelines provided a systematic approach toward the maintenance of MV PME systems which focus on the: maintenance intervals, maintenance methods and frequency of inspection, type of inspection and measuring instruments to be used, pass/fail criteria for system condition and the maintenance/inspection reporting requirements/mechanisms. International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) does conduct condition and mandatory surveys to assess the reliability and function of mechanical systems on the MV (Eruguz et al , 2017; Karahalios, 2018). This has necessitated MV owners/operators to upgrade their systems to monitor the condition and reliability of the such systems in order for the maintenance class not to be reversed, suspended or withdrawn (IACS, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review maintenance practices, tools and parameters for marine mechanical systems that can be classified as plant, machinery and equipment (PME). It provides an insight for the maintenance crew on which maintenance parameters and practices are critical for a given PME systems. Design/methodology/approach The review paper characterizes the various maintenance parameters and maintenance practices used onshore and offshore for PME and identifies the possible gaps. Findings A variety of maintenance techniques are being used in the marine industry such as corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance and condition-based maintenance. As marine vehicles (MV) get older, the most important maintenance parameters become maintenance costs, reliability and safety. Maintenance models that have been developed in line with marine mechanical systems have been validated using a single system, whose outcome could be different if another PME system is used for validation. Research limitations/implications There is a limited literature on MV maintenance parameters and maintenance characterization regarding mechanical systems. The maintenance practices or strategies of marine mechanical systems should be based on maintenance parameters that suit the marine industry for a given PME. Originality/value Based on the available literature, the paper provides a variety of maintenance framework, parameters and practices for marine mechanical systems. The paper further gives an insight on what maintenance parameters, strategies and platforms are given preference in the shipping industry.

“…In the marine sector, Celik et al [15] employed fuzzy AHP to select a suitable shipping registry for Turkish ship owners. Karahalios [16] combined AHP with fuzzy set theory to calculate and analyze the risk coefficients of three different ship types. To mitigate the shortcomings stemming from the process subjectivity and approximations of the results, AHP is frequently combined with the TOPSIS method [17].…”

This paper develops an improved failure risk assessment method and discusses the risk control measures for a large luxury cruise ship’s bilge system under fire accident conditions. The proposed method incorporates an expert weight calculation model and a risk coefficient calculation model. The expert weight calculation model considers the differences in experts’ expertise levels (i.e., qualification level, decision-making capacity, and decision-making preference). Further, the method integrates the evaluations resulting from fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and extended fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS) of different experts. The risk coefficient (RC) calculation model utilizes a three-dimensional continuous matrix, serving to determine the risk factors’ ratings. The influences of the expert weight and RC calculation models on the proposed method’s performance are studied through a sensitivity analysis. The work demonstrates that the proposed method minimizes the issues encountered when using conventional methods for determining risk ratings. Finally, the results of an empirical study comprising ten experts evaluating the VISTA cruise ship’s bilge system prove the applicability of the proposed method and offer practical design guidelines to meet the regulations for Safe Return to Port (SRtP).
