In recent years risk-based design gained more importance in ship design. In parallel discussion started at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) on the development of regulations based on risk-based methods, named Goal-Based Standards Safety Level Approach. Experience showed that engineering effort increases due to the introduction of risk-based methods, and therefore some stakeholders are reluctant to accept this innovation because of uncertainties concerning design classification and approval. This paper summarises the discussion until now on Goal-Based Standards, focusing in particular on the application of risk-based methods at IMO, and shows some examples of risk-based design in shipbuilding. Potential impact on IMO regulations and classification society rules is estimated.
