Abstrakty

Formal safety assessment of ships has attracted great attention over the last few years. This paper, following a brief review of the current status of marine safety assessment, is focused on the hazards identification (HAZID) and prioritisation process. A multicriteria decision making framework, which is based on experts' estimation, is then proposed for hazards evaluation. Additionally, in this paper many aspects of the evaluation framework are presented, including: the synthesis of evaluation teams, the assessment of the importance of criteria, the evaluation of the consequences of the alternative hazards, and the final ranking of the hazards. The proposed methodology has the innovative feature of embodying techniques of fuzzy logic theory into the classical multicriteria decision analysis. The paper concludes by exploring the potentiality of the above methodology in providing a robust and flexible evaluation framework suitable to the characteristics of a hazard evaluation problem.

Artykul, po krótkim przeglądzie aktualnego stanu oceny bezpieczeństwa morskiego, skupia się na identyfikacji i rankingu zagrożeń. Zaproponowany jest także, oparty na opinii ekspertów, schemat wielokryterialnego podejmowania decyzji przy ocenie i porządkowaniu zagrożeń. Przedstawionych jest wiele aspektów tego schematu, włączając syntezę zespołów oceniających, ocenę konsekwencji alternatywnych zagrożeń i końcowe uporządkowanie zagrożeń. Proponowaną metodologię cechują właściwości innowacyjne polegające na połączeniu teorii logiki rozmytej i klasycznej wielokryterialnej analizy podejmowania decyzji.
