Contacts: rmk2010@mail.ru A rough estimate of ecological damage in case of oil emergency overflow on a tanker / Turkin A.V. // River transport (XXI century).2010- № 2(44). – p. 81 Proposes an analysis of ecological safety loading operations on tankers based on a principle of conception of acceptable risk. The size of the risk estimates as a product of frequency and accident damage. Shows formulas to calculate the value of the damage after spill oil. In case of oil emergency overflow (triggering event) uses the method of plotting the event tree. Key words: ecological safety, loading tankers, spill oil. Contacts: vladimir@cbts.ru The analysis of the factors influencing the safety of the operating ship’s thermooil boilers / Arutyunov R.Y., Turkin V.A. // River transport (XXI century).2010- № 2(44). – p. 83 Proposes the imitation model (based on logical-linguistic approach) of defining a probability of accident in ship’s boilers operating process. Shows the formula of regression which defines correlation between accident’s probability and main safety factors (reliability, ergonomic) of ship’s thermooil boiler. Key words: ship’s thermooil boiler, method, imitation model, safety, reliability, ergonomic.
