Are ro-ro's compromised?

摘要

On the balance of probabilities most ships are safe, though that may not be the case for some ro-ro vessels in certain instances. But, the fact that new rules leave designers and operators confused and uncertain as to whether a ro-ro ship is safe is an intolerable situation.rnSafety is an issue in which there should be no compromise, yet all ship designs are a compromise between safety and the commercial viability of the vessel. All ships have an element of probability built into them, that is, regulators must decide which incidents are so unlikely to happen that there is no need to design safety features into the vessel to protect them from such an improbable event.
