Basic Fault Tree Analysis for the Reasons of Ship Collision.

Abstract: Fault Trees (FTs) are among the most prominent formalisms for reliability analysis of technical systems. Fault tree analysis method is introduced to model the Ship collision fault tree based on the statistic of ship collisions under Wuhan MSA in 2007. The paper establishes boolean algebra and the minimal cut sets to calculate the probability of basic events so that the most important factor can be found. Based on the conclusion, this will have great supervising for maritime safety administration and reduce similar marine accidents. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
