Abstract
Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) is an approach adopted by the
International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to support a systemic and
structured assessment of proposals for new international regulations to
improve shipping safety. Several case studies based on the approach have
been conducted during recent years. This paper addresses the issue of
confidence in a FSA, as encountered during three case studies conducted
by the authors over the years 1998–2002. A peer review process—FSA
qualification—is introduced to support the consolidation of confidence
in FSA results. Some qualification criteria are suggested.
