TL;DR: This paper presents a scheme for large engineering project risk management using a Bayesian belief network and applies it to the Korean shipbuilding industry, and identifies differences of project performance risks between large-scale and medium-sized shipbuilding companies.
Abstract: This paper presents a scheme for large engineering project risk management using a Bayesian belief network and applies it to the Korean shipbuilding industry. Twenty-six different risks were deduced from expert interviews and a literature review. A survey analysis was conducted on 252 experts from 11 major Korean shipbuilding companies in April 2007. The overall major risks were design change, design manpower, and raw material supply as internal risks, and exchange rate as external risk in both large-scale and medium-sized shipbuilding companies. Differences of project performance risks between large-scale and medium-sized shipbuilding companies were identified. Exceeding time schedule and specification discontent were more important to large-scale shipbuilding companies, while exceeding budget and exceeding time schedule were more important to medium-sized shipbuilding companies. The change of project performance risks was measured by risk reduction activities of quality management, and strikes at headquarters and subcontractors, in both large-scale and medium-sized shipbuilding companies. The research results should be valuable in enabling industrial participants to manage their large engineering project risks and in extending our understanding of Korean shipbuilding risks.

Journal Article
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a decision-based approach for the design of ships, one that encompasses systems thinking and embodies the concept of concurrent engineering design for the life cycle.
Abstract: For decades ships have been designed using the well known "basis ship approach" together with the equally well-known Evans-Buxton-Alexander spiral. The two principal limitations of the spiral are that the process of design is assumed to be sequential and the opportunity to include life cycle considerations is limited. In order to increase both the efficiency and effectiveness of the process of ship design a new paradigm for the process of design is needed. In this paper, recent developments in the field of design are reviewed and a contemporary paradigm is given. Decision-based design, for the design of ships, one that encompasses systems thinking and embodies the concept of concurrent engineering design for the life cycle.

TL;DR: The essential guide to the safety of maritime transportation for anyone in the field is presented in this article, which covers all aspects of maritime risk and safety from engineering and operational perspectives, as well as regulatory and health and safety requirements, addressing the needs of both professionals and students working in the related fields of shipping management, ship design and naval architecture and transport management.
Abstract: Shipping and marine transportation is a highly regulated global industry. With heightened public awareness of the environmental and human cost of marine accidents, and tighter legislation from governments and international bodies on ships and shipping operations, the safe and efficient operation of ships is a priority for all ship builders, owners and operators. This book is the essential guide to the safety of maritime transportation for anyone in the field. The book covers all aspects of maritime risk and safety from engineering and operational perspectives, as well as regulatory and health and safety requirements. It addresses the needs of both professionals and students working in the related fields of shipping management, ship design and naval architecture and transport management, as well as fields including safety management, insurance and accident investigation.
