FORMAL SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF OFFSHORE 49
SUPPORT VESSELS

owners or management companies are able to be grasp the basic idea of safety in relation to most
risky categories and can adjust their internal procedures accordingly.
On the other hand, this FSA method application has been based on expert judgements and
historical data without any mathematical and/or statistical methods. Especially considering the
human effect, it might be inevitable to include mathematical and/or statistical approaches in the
future work. When the human contribution is only based on expert judgement/historical data,
making the systematical work to apply generally will lack. This applies in the same sense for
material failures, weather effect judgements etc. Therefore, a future work for this sense should be
adopted.
