  1. NATIONAL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING LABORATORY FOR MARITIME TRANSPORT • Exploring fire incidents/accidentsonboard cruise and passenger ships Nikolaos P. Ventikos MASSEP 2013, Athens, 30 & 31 May, 2013

  2. Acknowledgments The work presented herein was partially supported by the EC-funded project “Probabilistic Framework for Onboard Safety” (FIREPROOF), SCP7-GA-2008-218761, coordinated by the University of Strathclyde, Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering – The Ship Stability Research Centre (SSRC) I would like to thank and acknowledge the substantial role of Ms. M. Petsou and Mr. G. Papamichalis (they are both naval architects and marine engineers from NTUA) in the development and conclusion of this high level statistical analysis of fire/ignition events onboard passenger/cruise vessels Exploring fire incidents/accidents onboard cruise and passenger ships

  3. The Set-Up of the Presentation Sections • Objectives of the Research Section 1 • Literature Review (indicative) Section 2 • Methodology: Database and Elements Section 3 • Results (from multi level analysis) Section 4 • Discussion Section 5 • (Instead of ) Conclusions Section 6 Exploring fire incidents/accidents onboard cruise and passenger ships

  4. Objectives of the Research Section 1 • Exploring fire incidents/accidents onboard cruise and passenger ships

  5. Objectives of the Research Compilation of a comprehensive database on maritime fire accidents The database would help identify statistical data on some significant aspects that would serve to provide priori probabilities for the ignition models Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 Section 5 Develop a method for generating fire scenarios according to their probability of incidence Section 6 Exploring fire incidents/accidents onboard cruise and passenger ships

  6. Literature Review Section 2 • Exploring fire incidents/accidents onboard cruise and passenger ships

  7. Literature Review Indicative List of Relative Publications • Hakkarainen et al.(2009) • Vlaunet al. (2001) • DaVeiga et al. • (1999) • Mendiola et al. • (2010) • Oikonomou & Ventikos • (2010) Section 1 • Ventikos et al.

(2007) • Nikolaou & Spyrou (2010) Themelis et al. (2011) Section 6 Exploring fire incidents/accidents onboard cruise and passenger ships

  8. Methodology: Database and Elements Section 3 • Exploring fire incidents/accidents onboard cruise and passenger ships

  9. Methodology: Database and Elements DB Identity and Fields Ignitions and Fires on cruise and passenger ships – period: 2003–2010 – with 1521 records (provided by operators) Section 1 Section 2 • Fire Door status • Space Occupied • Crew Presence • Boundary Cooling status • Human Factor Contribution • Emergency Response Failure • Containment Failure • Ignition in Adjacent Spaces • Severity • Source Ignition • Incident Date and Time • Location of the vessel • Weather Contribution • Onboard Location + SOLAS Cat. • Detection • Adjacent Detector Activated • Suppression means • Time to detect (mins) • Time to extinguish (mins) • Ventilation status Section 3 Section 4 Section 5 Section 6 Exploring fire incidents/accidents onboard cruise and passenger ships

  10. Methodology: Database and Elements SOLAS Space Categories The 14 spaces defined by SOLAS were adopted so that every further proposition for fire safety regulation could be easily adapted with minimum confusion Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 Section 5 Section 6 Exploring fire incidents/accidents onboard cruise and passenger ships

  11. Methodology: Database and Elements Why is this Database Interesting? Ignitions and Fires on cruise and passenger shipsperiod: 2003–2010 with 1521 records(provided by operators) Fires&Explosions for any type of passenger vessel (incl. cruise ships) period: 1999–2009 with 63 records (provided by a commercial database) UNDERRPORTING!!

  27. (Instead of) Conclusions UNDERREPORTING Ignitions and Fires on cruise and passenger shipsperiod: 2003–2010 with 1521 records(provided by operators) Fires&Explosions for any type of passenger vessel (incl. cruise ships) period: 1999–2009 with 63 records (provided by a commercial database) This might be a problem for all types of marine accidents ; however it is mainly recorded in the case of fires Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 Section 5 Section 6 Exploring fire incidents/accidents onboard cruise and passenger ships
