Safety and Environmental Risk, and Reliability Systems: Sustainable Blue Economy Value Chain and Water Resources Management System Series

The marine and inland waterway sectors are at a critical turning point. Increasing traffic density, environmental sensitivity, and infrastructure expansion require advanced, risk-informed engineering approaches to ensure safety, sustainability, and long-term operational reliability. Marine Safety, Environmental Risk and Reliability Systems presents a comprehensive framework for modeling, analyzing, and managing complex marine risks. The book integrates formal safety assessment (FSA), probabilistic modeling, stochastic simulation, reliability validation, and cost–benefit evaluation into a unified Safety and Environmental Risk Model (SERM). Key topics include: • Inland waterway collision frequency modeling • Environmental consequence and ALARP-based decision analysis • Sustainable dredging risk frameworks • Deep-water system hazard operability processes • LNG and gas carrier environmental compliance • Hybrid renewable marine energy reliability • Offshore aquaculture risk and reliability analysis • Safe mooring and berthing system design • Propeller cavitation CFD optimization Extensive case studies—including detailed modeling of Malaysia’s Langat River—demonstrate how hybrid risk methodologies can compensate for limited accident data.
