INTRODUCTION ost real technical systems are very comlex and it is difficult to analyze and otimize their safety. Large numers of comonents and susystems and their oerating comlexity cause that the evaluation and otimization of their safety is comlicated. The comlexity of the systems oeration rocesses and their influence on changing in time the systems structures and their comonents safety characteristics is often very difficult to fix and to analyze. A convenient tool for solving this rolem is a semi-markov (Graski 00) modeling of the system oeration rocesses linked with a multi-state aroach to the system safety analysis (Kolowrocki Soszynska 00 Kolowrocki Soszynska 009) and a linear rogramming for the system safety otimization (Kolowrocki Soszynska 00). This aroach to system safety investigation is ased on the multi-state system reliaility analysis considered for instance in (Aven 9 Kolowrocki 00) and on semi-markov oeration rocesses modeling discussed for instance in (Soszynska 00 Soszynska 00). An alication of the roosed aroach to safety analysis and otimization of maritime ferry technical system is resented in this aer. THE FERRY TECHNICAL SYSTE SAFETY AND RISK The considered maritime ferry is a assenger Ro-Ro shi oerating in Baltic Sea etween Gdynia and Karlskrona orts on regular everyday line. We assume that the ferry is comosed of a numer of main susystems having an essential influence on its safety. These susystems are illustrated in Figure. On the scheme of the ferry resented in Figure there are distinguished its following susystems: S - a navigational susystem S - a roulsion and controlling susystem S - a loading and unloading susystem S - a hull susystem S - an anchoring and mooring susystem S - a rotection and rescue susystem S - a social susystem. 9

2 Krzysztof Kolowrocki Joanna Soszynska Budny SAFETY OPTIIZATION OF A FERRY TECHNICAL SYSTE IN VARIABLE OPERATION CONDITIONS (Vol.) 0 arch In our further analysis of the ferry safety we omit the rotection and rescue susystem S and the social susystem S and we consider its strictly technical susystems S S S S and S only further called the ferry technical system (Kolowrocki Soszynska 009). S S S S S S S S S S S S S S Figure. Susystems having an essential influence on the ferry technical system safety We assume that the ferry technical system safety structure and the susystems and comonents safety deend on its changing in time oeration states (Kolowrocki Soszynska 00). Taking into account the exerts oinion on the oeration rocess of the considered ferry we distinguish the following as its eighteen oeration states: an oeration state z loading at Gdynia Por an oeration state z unmooring oerations at Gdynia Por an oeration state z leaving Gdynia Port and navigation to GD uoy an oeration state z navigation at restricted waters from GD uoy to the end of Traffic Searation Scheme an oeration state z navigation at oen waters from the end of Traffic Searation Scheme to Angoring uoy an oeration state z navigation at restricted waters from Angoring uoy to Verko Berth at Karlskrona an oeration state z mooring oerations at Karlskrona Por an oeration state z unloading at Karlskrona Por an oeration state z9 loading at Karlskrona Por an oeration state z0 unmooring oerations at Karlskrona Por an oeration state z ferry turning at Karlskrona Por an oeration state z leaving Karlskrona Port and navigation at restricted waters to Angoring uoy an oeration state z navigation at oen waters from Angoring uoy to the entering Traffic Searation Scheme an oeration state z navigation at restricted waters from the entering Traffic Searation Scheme to GD uoy an oeration state z navigation from GD uoy to turning area an oeration state z ferry turning at Gdynia Por an oeration state z mooring oerations at Gdynia Por an oeration state unloading at Gdynia Port. z 9

3 Krzysztof Kolowrocki Joanna Soszynska Budny SAFETY OPTIIZATION OF A FERRY TECHNICAL SYSTE IN VARIABLE OPERATION CONDITIONS (Vol.) 0 arch Additionally as in (Kolowrocki Soszynska ) we assume that susystems S... of the ferry technical system are comosed of five-state comonents and their safety states are 0 and. Consequently the comonents conditional multi-state safety function is the vector (Kolowrocki Soszynska 009) [ s ( ) ( )] ( ) ( ) ( ) = [ [ s ( ) ( ) ( )] [ s ( ) ( ) ( )] [ s ( ) ( ) ( )] [ s ( )] ]... with the exonential co-ordinates [ ( ) ( ) s ( ) ( ) ( )] ex[ [ ()] t] ( ) ( ) [ s ( ) ( ) ( )] ex[ [ ] t] [ ( ) ( ) [ s ( ) ( ) ( )] ex[ [ ()] t]... ( ) ( ) s ( ) ( ) ( )] ex[ [ ()] t] Further assuming that the ferry technical system is in the safety state suset { u u...} u 0 if all its susystems are in this suset o safety states we conclude that the ferry is five-state series system (Kolowrocki Soszynska 009) of susystems S S S S S and S. The ferry oeration rocess is very regular in the sense that the oeration state changes are from the articular state z... to the neighoring state z... and from z to z only. Therefore the roailities of transitions etween the oeration states are given y (Kolowrocki Soszynska 009) [ l ] On the asis of statistical data coming from exerts the matrix of the density functions of the ferry technical system oeration rocess conditional sojourn times l l... defined in (Kolowrocki Soszynska 009) can e evaluated. Nex the mean values l E[ l ] l... l of the system oeration rocess conditional sojourn times l in articular oeration states can e determined and they are: Hence according to (Kolowrocki Soszynska 00) the mean values of the unconditional sojourn times in the oeration states are:

[ ] x [ ] v x [ ] l x Thus according to the results contained in (Kolowrocki Soszynska ) the long term roortion of transients at the oerational states z can e aroximated y () Under the assumtion that the changes of the ferry oeration states have an influence on the S... comonents safety and on the ferry technical system safety structures susystems as well on the asis of exert oinions and statistical data given in (Soszynska et al. 009) the ferry technical system safety structures and their comonents safety functions and the ferry technical system conditional safety functions at different oeration states can e determined (Kolowrocki Soszynska 00). Namely in the case when the system oeration time is large enough the unconditional fife-state safety function of the ferry technical system is given y the vector s ( ) = [ s () s ( ) s () s ( ) ] t 0 where after considering the values of... given y () its co-ordinates are u) 0.0 [ () 0.00 [ 0.0 [ () 0.0 [ () 0.[ () 0.0 [ () 0.00 [ () 0.0 [ () 0.0 [ (9) 0.00 [ (0) 0.00[ () 0.0 [ () 0.
