Human Reliability and Ship Stability

Abstract

This report briefly reviews ship stability and capsize issues, risk assessment, and Human Factors issues related to risk of capsize during design and operation of warships. A generic approach to Human Reliability Analysis (based on Kirwan 1994) is described in some detail. Based on this approach, a four part two year plan is proposed to establish and apply a Human Reliability Analysis approach to estimate Human Factors risks related to warship capsize and management of stability.
