3.Safety Management and Redundancy Analysis

Redundancy Analysis: Cruisers OASIS and ALLURE

The safety of a cruise ship must be secured at all times. New safety concepts have been developed, one of the most important is the so called 'half ship concept'. It means that the ship can return safely to nearest port in all unfavorable events using the remaining propulsion. This is also referred as 'Safe return to port' principle.

AL Safety Design Ltd was responsible for redundancy analysis of the worlds largest passenger cruisers, the OASIS of the Seas, and its sister ALLURE, built by STX Europe. The ships were delivered in 10.2009 and 11.2010 to RCCL (Royal Caribbean Cruise Line).

Using a special software tool, developed by AL Safety Design, all the crucial ship systems were studied during the design. The effects of possible fire and leakage scenarios of the ship compartments, equipment, systems with regard to the remaining propulsion were analyzed thoroughly with this special database program. For more details about the OASIS and ALLURE, see STX Europe's web site.

What we can offer: Failure analysis of the ship systems and their effects on remaining propulsion capability

Reliability and Safety Analysis of ship equipment

What we can offer: 1.Checking the system design using the Design-FMEA method. 2.Checking the equipment's manufacturing systems including assembly using the Process-FMEA method. 3.Potential Problems Analysis ('Risk mapping') for new ship systems.
