The course provides a fundamental background for understanding the methods used to evaluate the design and operational performance of a ship. The following areas are analyzed, while knowledge from previous courses is also utilized.
Introduction to the problem of systems evaluation. Areas of application in ship design and operation (indicative: energy efficiency, safety, environmental protection). Performance evaluation criteria and metrics. Development of computational procedures using indices. Fundamentals and tools of data analysis in evaluation. Data collection methods. Data quality control and pre-processing. Using theoretical and statistical models to calculate expected return. Uncertainty estimation and confidence level calculation. International regulatory framework and standards. Behavioral evaluation in the context of alternative design.
