To prevent such disasters, proactive safety measures should of course be developed in association with more detailed examinations of the related phenomena and their consequences. The paradigm change is


currently


pertinent in design and engineering, as shown in Figure 3. Successful design and engineering should meet not only functional requirements but also health, safety, environment and ergonomic (HSE&E) requirements. Functional requirements represent operability under normal conditions, and HSE&E requirements address safe performance and integrity in extreme and accidental conditions. To complete the IMO’s GBS concept,


Figure 2: Extreme and accidental conditions for ships and offshore installations


therefore, a new tier associated with HSE&E requirements must be included in an explicit manner. Figure 4 shows the concept with the sixth tier added which shall also constitute the IMO’s GBS.


The Royal Institution of Naval Architects International Conference:


WARSHIP 2015: Future Surface Vessels 10-11 June 2015, Bath, UK


Call for Papers


Modern navies are a trade-off between advanced technologies and cost, in both construction and operation. Versatility, flexibility, and affordability are key design criteria. The development of the Royal Navy Type 26 Frigate and the Littoral Combat Ship in the USA are examples that use modularity to address this. Modular design allows adaptability in meeting threats from smaller vessels, used by pirates and terrorists, to larger threats from enemy navies.
