Abstract :Considering the expanding industry for offshore units, offshore support vessels are also in the trend of increasing. In this sense, more complex and more demanding technologies are emerging especially for new designs of these type of vessels. Therefore, it is of great importance to have a framework based on risk assessment. In the maritime domain, risk is evaluated within the framework of the Formal Safety Assessment FSA which has become an internationally recognized and recommended method. This article discusses methodological requirements for the risk perspective of offshore support vessels. A perspective that is proposed here considers risk as a set encompassing the following: a set of plausible scenarios leading to an accident, the likelihoods of unwanted events within the scenarios, the consequences of the events and description of uncertainty. For this purpose, we introduce a qualitative scoring system, and we show its applicability on an exemplary risk model for an offshore support vessel
