Abstract
This paper is aimed at providing a framework for cost-benefit assessment of proposed safety measures with the usage of Life Cycle Cost Analysis, a decision-making technique for exploiting different investment opportunities. The reasonable practicality for implementing the proposed measures is supported by cost-effectiveness indices, in terms of a risk-factored cost of the fatalities that would have been averted. Their application is demonstrated by investigating the effectiveness of corrosion measures to bulk carriers.
