Abstract
Safety and security assessment has been increasingly used to support maritime system design and operation. There has also been a growing international recognition that security issues of maritime systems need to be reviewed. This presentation will address major challenges and developments in maritime safety and security assessment. In particular, areas covered include regulatory regimes in maritime safety and security, IMO’s formal safety assessment, sea port security modelling, and piracy related ship operations together with case studies. Some advanced techniques for maritime safety and security assessment are outlined to demonstrate their potential application.
