The ro-ro passenger ship is a type of passenger ship which is commonly seen in Europe. After the tragedy of MV Estonia, an effective evaluation of escape routes in passenger ship in the initial stage of ship design has been required by International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention. To reduce the loss of life in passenger ships at sea, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has created the revised guidelines on evacuation analyses for new and existing passenger ships. This article followed IMO's mandatory guidelines via using the hydraulic model of emergency egress to scrutinize the evacuation routes, congestion points, and the total evacuation duration of MV Tai Hwa.

The article concerns the problem of evacuation from passenger ships. It is important because it has not yet been possible to eliminate all the hazards associated with sea travel. In this paper, a concept of a method allowing to determine the arrangement of evacuation routes, for which evacuation time would be minimal, was presented. The genetic algorithm method was used in the calculations, and an original method of coding the considered problem was proposed. Sample calculations were performed to verify the correctness of the proposed algorithm. The results of applying the developed method to calculate the evacuation time on a real passenger ship are presented.

The new SOLAS regulations II-1/8-1, II-2/21 and II-2/22 on safe return to port are introduced; it is demonstrated how the regulations will influence the design of future passenger ships. The requirements on safe areas and on propulsion system layout are discussed with the aid of examples. A software tool supporting the safe return to port assessment is proposed. The tool will assess the degraded performance of essential systems for all relevant casualty cases.

AbstractMaritime accidents lead to massive loss of life and property. In the case of passenger ships, the potential for damage is especially high. Although the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) of the International Maritime Organization has recently increased the regulation of passenger ship safety, serious accidents continue to occur.A large passenger ship (e.g., a cruise ship) is very wide and contains a complex population of passengers; it is difficult for crew members to be aware of each passenger’s location and idiosyncrasies. Such knowledge could be used by crew members in normal conditions to control the passengers, thereby avoiding dangerous scenarios. In an emergency situation, the same knowledge can help crew members control the flow of escape and help passengers, including handicapped persons, children, and the elderly.In this paper, we examine the use of emergency lighting and wireless sensor networks to create a new methodology for interactive escape route control. The sensor network consists of a wireless system (i.e., ZigBee) that collects raw data from each passenger. These data are then used to determine escape routes, which are communicated to the crew via emergency lighting. We also include simulation results of the proposed interactive escape route control for selected scenarios.

IMO MSC circular 1033 [1] outlines the guidelines for evacuation analyses of new and existing passenger ships. This requirement coupled with recent advancements in computer technology has lead to the development of sophisticated computer-based simulation of the evacuation process on passenger ships. In order for these simulation tools to provide accurate and useful results, it is imperative they use realistic data for passenger movement throughout the evacuation process. However, due to the nature of ship abandonment, quantifying human performance in actual abandonment situations is very difficult. For this reason, simulation inputs must rely on results of controlled, well-defined experiments. This paper outlines experiments conducted to quantify human performance during abandonment using a variety of life saving appliances for ambulatory and non-ambulatory individuals wearing personal floatation apparatus. Evacuation analysis using commercially available software with these data is also presented as it relates to improving ship design for evacuation of non-ambulatory persons.

Many Asian states such as China are increasingly engaged in maritime activities in the polar regions. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed a mandatory international code of safety for certain types of ships operating in polar waters (the Polar Code) which applies to the vessels of Asian and non-Asian states alike. The Polar Code covers a wide range of issues including ship design and construction, equipment, operation, crew training, search and rescue and environmental protection relating to ships operating in the polar regions. This article examines the Polar Code, which will be implemented via amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). It considers the extent to which the Polar Code lays the foundations for a sustainable future for shipping in the polar regions.

Following the “Healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters” Horizon Europe mission area, the present research is focused on finding practical ways to overcome the specific restrictions imposed by the particularities of the Danube Delta area on small passenger ship design. The focus is given to the hydrodynamic analysis as a tool to reduce the negative effects of small ships avoiding the constant aggression to which the fauna and flora of the area are subjected to.

Control And Management

Ratification of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments (BWMC)[i] has now forced the hand of operators and ship owners to comply with the BWM, and without a great deal of time to react. The need to integrate and operate Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) Systems on In-Service ships, however, is not new, and BMT have recent and relevant experience in end-to-end BWT system solutions. In 2011 BMT Defence Services Ltd (BMT) produced the installation specification to enable A and P Falmouth Ltd (A and P) to carry out a ballast water treatment plant retrofit installation on the RFA Bay Class ships (i.e. RFA MOUNTS BAY, LARGS BAY and CARDIGAN BAY), enabling the ship to be approved and operated in compliance with the BWMC. In addition, BMT produced documentation to enable A and P to arrange, manage and perform the necessary test, trials and commissioning to prove the equipment installation and that it can be operated in accordance with the requirements of the BWMC. The objective of this paper is to take the reader through the process of design and embodiment of a BWT system retrofit on a relatively complex (with respect to the ballast system) ship. The Bay Class ships are Landing Ship Dock (Auxiliary) ships with separate forward and aft ballast systems (to allow the ships to function in their amphibious roles by way of their stern dock), and a ship wide Ballast Stripping system. Key design and engineering considerations are discussed below and recommendations for the installation of a ballast water treatment system are also offered.

One of the worst problem in Bojonegoro is flood. This research aims to know the factor that could become the factor of flood in Bojonegoro. Besides that, this research analyses the planning of transportation river design in Bojonegoro. Flood discharge analysis uses Nakayasu synthesis unit hydrograph for period of 5 years, 10 years, 25 years, 50 years, and 100 years, then they would be compared to the water maximum capacity that could be loaded by the river. According to the analysis result, Bengawan Solo River in Bojonegoro could not able to load flood discharge from Nakayasu synthesis unit hydrograph analysis for all periods. The result conclusion that captured by HEC-RAS application has the same idea. It shows flood water surface is more than full bank capacity elevation. For river transportation design planning, according to analysis of parameter of depth, width for one and two lanes, turning basin and its depth, the ship design that recommended to ship in the Bengawan Solo River in Bojonegoro are cargo ship and passenger ship with draft of 0.6 m and LOA of 18 m, or the capacity of a passenger ship is 70 people.
