A review of ship surveys practices and of marine casualties partly due to aging effects
No full textThe first part of this paper overviews the present
international regulatory regime and the future expected
developments of ship surveys, from the viewpoint of methods
and criteria, identifying different degradation phenomena
mainly related to aging of structures and hull equipment. The
current onboard practice is recalled, both of mandatory surveys
(including class surveys and particularly the new requirements
introduced by the IACS Common Structural Rules) and of non
mandatory industry-driven inspections.
Then, reviews of few databases of marine casualties, available
to authors, are presented aiming at assessing the role of aging
effects in the marine accidents. Even if it should be admitted
that available statistical samples are not always complete and
accurate, the intent is to identify trends in the pattern of
structural failures and to develop recommendations for
improving the inspection regimes and procedures for condition
assessment analyses by which to reduce the number and
severity of such occurrences
