The safety of shipping industry is regulated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which is presently reviewing whether to introduce risk analysis in the maritime sector under the term Formal Safety Assessment (FSA). The paper introduces the conception Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) and its 'process approach' in the maritime applications. The benefits of the applications and the shortages are addressed here according to the current approach as proposed by IMO. FSA will involve the basic risk analysis steps and benefit-cost assessment. The trend is that FSA should conduct risk analysis by integrated regulations and help making decisions effectively. In view to the consolidation of confidence in FSA results, a FSA qualification process is discussed in the paper. It suggested that the methodology and qualification of FSA developed would be very useful for the development of safety of shipping industry and reliability applications to maritime.
