Abstract

ABSTRACT Emergency Rescue and Response Vessels (ERRV) is an integral component of any offshore emergency evacuation programme intended to recover and rescue personnel who have escaped or evacuated a facility from an accident event. This paper used Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Evidential Reasoning (ER) methodology to assess the ERRV safety in offshore emergency response operations. The model prioritizes the risk levels or flaws within the system, with the aim of investing appropriate strategies that will enhance the performance effectiveness of offshore emergency response operations in a flexible manner. In addition to the response time, this study identified four (4) critical factors as presented in order of importance in Table 13. It is envisaged that the approach could provide safety analysts and decision makers, with a flexible tool that will aid understanding and developing organisational frameworks aim at increasing the resilience of emergency response and rescue operations thereby minimizing the probability of ERRV failure.
