Development of risk-based information systems for management of sunken ships

Risk assessment of sunken ships is necessary since they continuously have possibility for further oil spill or can cause other marine accidents. The objective of this paper is to develop the Risk-based Information Systems for Sunken Ships (RISSS) to prevent oil spill and further marine causalities in order to preserve safe and clean oceans around Korean peninsula. The RISSS is a decision support system that supports systematic management of sunken ships to identify the risk factors of sunken ships and measure the frequency and the consequence of unwanted event. The RISSS comprise of database management subsystem for sunken ships, qualitative risk assessment sub-system, quantitative risk assessment sub-system, and cost-benefit analysis subsystem.
