Probabilistic approach for characterising the static risk of ships using Bayesian networks

This paper proposes a probabilistic approach for characterising the static risk of individual ships based on Bayesian networks (BNs). The approach uses the Ship Risk Profile parameters of the New Inspection Regime of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Port State Control (PSC), not as risk factors for ship selection in PSC inspections, but as risk variables for ship risk assessment and maritime traffic monitoring. The objectives of...
