Assessment of safety risks of fishing schemes

Abstract

The design of existing fishing schemes is carried out according to prototypes, which causes a low level of safety in fishing operations, and, as a result, leads to an increase in accidents among crew members. As practice shows, such cases can be avoided already at the stage of designing a field scheme. In order to find out how changes in fishing schemes in the direction of increasing safety will affect their efficiency of use, the paper proposes to assess the safety risks of a fishing scheme, where the criterion of safety risks acts as the main criterion. To conduct such an assessment, a review was made of largecapacity stern trawlers in the amount of 5 units, with the power of trawler power plants from 882.6 kW to 5295 kW. After evaluating the safety risks of these vessels, the dependences of the safety risk factor on the power of the power plant and the power of the fishing equipment spent on operations were obtained. This analysis was carried out on the basis of a previous study on the efficiency of fishing schemes, where the main criterion was the coefficient of mechanization of fishing operations.
