In this paper, a methodology and guidelines for applying risk methods in design and operation of maritime systems were developed and demonstrated using a case study of marine diesel generators. The methodology consists of several modules that include system definition based on functional and performance requirements, definition of dependencies among subsystems, data collection and reduction, reliability and risk analyses, and results reduction for use in decision analysis. The methodology was used to assess and analyze typical service diesel generators found onboard ships. The analysis included the generation of cut sets for the overall reliability of the system. The most likely failure scenarios were determined by demonstration as the failure of fuel supply components. The results are consistent with previous findings of the U.S. Coast Guard.

The assessment of the reciprocal impacts of infrastructure investments and their socio-economic environment requires that a number of such aspects be simultaneously considered. Some of those aspects, however, have not been traditionally incorporated in such assessments due (in part) to the limitations inherent in the techniques utilized in current practice. This paper presents a conceptual framework for the use of dynamic simulation in the assessment of packages of infrastructure investments. The concepts are then applied to case studies involving the evaluation of coordinated sets of infrastructure projects in rural areas.
