IMRRA’s Vessel Risk Assessment Methodology
IMRRA identifies key three vessel operational safety risk factors, statistical and dynamic. Each safety risk factor is broken down and given a numerical weighting.
1. Statistical Risk Factors are vessel criteria that does not significantly vary over time, and are associated with longer-term vessel safety performance. Example data includes:
- Casualty History & Incidents
- Classification Society Performance
- Company Operator Performance
- Insurance claim history
- Vessel Particulars
2. Dynamic Risk Factors arise from safety risk events, their frequency and severity. Dynamic risks can include:
- Crew proficiency
- Inspection Reports
- PSC and USCG
- Safety Inspections & industry databases
- Self-test audit reports
- Terminals feedback
3. Verified Risk Factors are the ‘Human Factors’ critical for ship operational safety. A decline, or improvement in vessel management and operation will have an adverse affect on vessel ratings.
