Cost-effective electromagnetic compatible installation on ships using a risk based approach

TLDR
The lack of equipment available on the market which is certified for maritime, or even naval, environments, makes it hard for shipbuilders to deliver (naval) ships that comply with maritime ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulation as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
The lack of equipment available on the market which is certified for maritime, or even naval, environments, i.e. in accordance with IEC 60533 [1], makes it hard for shipbuilders to deliver (naval) ships that comply with maritime ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulation. Following the conventional rule-based approach, i.e. implementing standards, results in a deadlock or very costly dedicated hardening of equipment. This problem is acknowledged in the Lloyd's Register Naval Rules and obviated by a risk based electromagnetic compatibility approach. This paper points out the electromagnetic risks identified and mitigated by the technical committee that wrote the IEC 60533, and provides a risk based approach to deal with them.

Requirements with rationale and quantitative rules for EMC on future ships

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have aimed at requirements with clear rationale, put in todays perspective, and installation guidelines with quantitative rules, which replace the strict and extensive acceptance procedures that come with the military standards.

Quantification of minimal needed cable terminations

TL;DR: In this article, cable terminations have been modelled as magnetically coupled loops with a bonding resistance, and the minimal needed bonding resistance has been established based on measurements and calculations.

Analysis of Limit Setting Rationales for Protection of Maritime VHF Radio

TL;DR: In this paper, a risk-based approach is proposed to achieve an interference-free environment in a maritime very high frequency radio telephony system, where the low emission limit is not based on a minimum range to receive a distress call, but on the possibility of receiving the lowest possible signal.

Specification Innovation as a Part of Building an Affordable Fleet

TL;DR: In this article, a risk analysis based on the DoD risk methodology has been tailored specifically for the DSCR and incorporated into the process flow, which dramatically reduces the time it takes to implement specification changes.

TL;DR: A ship has machinery propulsion, manoeuvring cargo management which involve high powers at electrical power frequency as mentioned in this paper, and navigation equipment, communication equipment and control equipment associated with it's machinery, which can be utilised on a ship cover a wide band from 10 kHz for Omega to 9 GHz for radar.
