An advanced technique to adjust hull girder load: Part 1 = generalisation by Chang Hwan Jang, Do Kyun Kim

“…In this study (Part 1), a method is proposed to adjust the loads to achieve the target hull girder load with or without local loads on ships and ship-like structures. Each force or pressure load is referred to as a local load and the sum of forces and moments integrated with respect to the station is referred to as the hull girder load or global load. …”

Applying Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) to Fishing Vessels: An Analysis of Occupational Injuries on Korean Trap Boats by Su-Hyung Kim, Seung-Hyun Lee, Kyung-Jin Ryu, Yoo-Won Lee

“…Fishing vessels are known to have a fatality rate from accidents nearly 100 times higher than that of merchant ships. However, since most cases are resolved internally without maritime tribunals, obtaining accurate statistics on accidents is challenging, making quantitative analysis and evaluation of accident risks difficult. …”
