An FMEA test involves thoroughly testing all equipment in a dynamic positioning (DP) system, including power, thruster, and control systems, to identify potential failures and ensure redundancy requirements for the vessel's DP class are met. The test objectives are to evaluate failure modes and effects, identify measures to reduce risks, and rectify any failures that do not meet redundancy standards. Companies like Global Maritime and GL Noble Denton perform FMEA tests, and classification societies, owners, and manufacturers are usually represented. Test results categorize recommendations, and failures that compromise redundancy must be addressed. FMEA tests are conducted during sea trials of new vessels and renewed every 5 years for certain class notations.
Nimonik Expert EHS Series: Rack Safety and ComplianceNimonik
Nimonik knows that pallet racks, although crucial to the logistics of you operations, are often overlooked at your facilities. A collapsing rack can not only kill staff, it can damage inventory, cause delays and reduce profitability, hence the importance of properly inspecting and maintaining your racks frequently.
In this presentation, Rack Net-Works’ Principle Engineer and Lead Rack Inspector, Tony Mulholland and Brian Rusciolelli, cover a range of elements pertaining to the inspection of racks.
This webinar covers various types of racking, the standards ensuring rack safety, the process of inspection and how to ensure that racks are not overloaded.

As we have seen with the advent of the shale oil revolution in the United States, the development of new technology plays an important role in the oil and gas industry. It’s an enabler in reducing capital costs, simplifying production and increasing capacity of new or existing facilities. It can make a marginal project into a profitable development.
Progressing technology, while dealing with significant risk, is a challenge that can be overcome through a technology qualification process. A Technology Qualification Program (TQP) provides a means to identifying the risks and taking the correct steps to mitigate it; not avoid it.
This lecture summarizes the required steps involved in qualifying technology and how to keep track of technology development through the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) ranking system. In addition, some of the pitfalls in executing a TQP program are identified and discussed with emphasis on both component and system testing. Examples are given to illustrate the danger in taking shortcuts when executing the qualification plan.
Data from a recent subsea separation qualification program is presented comparing test results between CFDs, model fluid and actual crude testing at operating conditions. Knowing the limitations of the tools and testing system selected is an important step in closing the gaps identified in the TQP program.
The TRL has evolved at a faster pace and has become more acceptable in the oil and gas industry then the TQP. Nonetheless, continued standardization of both the TQP and TRL is still necessary in order to reduce overall cost of developing technology and allow faster implementation.
The course focuses on the Oil Record Book, Oily Water Separator, Garbage Record Book and Bunker records. It includes workshops on filling in an ORB correctly (including the new January 2011 changes) and especially concentrates on the Oily Water Separator.
This presentation provides information regarding the U.S. EPA's Tier III ruling which reduces the allowed sulfur concentrations in gasoline from an average of 30 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg in Ultra Low Sulfur Gasoline (ULSG).

DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

What is an FMEA test?
• FMEA = Failure Mode and Effect Analysis
• FMEA test = A thorough test program to verify that
redundancy requirements for the DP Class is met
• This test involves all equipment in a DP system, where the DP
system comprises of:
– Power system
– Thruster system
– DP control system
5. / 5 /
FMEA test - Objectives
• Identify potential failure modes and their causes and verify
worst case failure mode
• Evaluate the effects on the system of each failure mode
• Identify measures for eliminating or reducing the risks
associated with each failure mode
• Rectify failures that is not meeting redundancy requirements
for the DP class in question
• Provide information to operators and maintainers of the
system so they understand the capabilities and limitations of
the system
6. / 6 /
Who performs an FMEA test?
• Two well known companies that perform FMEA tests are:
– Global Maritime
– GL Noble Denton
• The company that performs the FMEA test, forms a team with
expertise within different fields
• Very typically, the classification society, the vessel owner and
the manufactures will have representatives present during the
FMEA test
7. / 7 /
How are results divided in severity?
• Global Maritime divide the severity in three recommendation-
categories:
– Recommendation A: Is to comply with the DP Class, or to be
implemented as soon as practicable
– Recommendation B: Is for serious consideration
– Recommendation C: Is for longer term consideration or for general
improvement
• The FMEA test-report normally contains a conclusion if the vessel is fit
for the purpose/DP class or not
8. / 8 /
What if level of redundancy according to DP
class is not met?
• If effect of failures indicate that level of redundancy is not
met, these failures or effects will normally be demanded to be
rectified
9. / 9 /
When and how often should an FMEA test be
conducted?
• For a new vessel the FMEA testing is normally integrated into
the shipyard sea trials programme.
• DNV Rules: The FMEA shall at all times be updated to cover
alterations to the DP-system. New FMEA testing during 5-
yearly renewals for class notations DYNPOS-AUTR and
DYNPOS-AUTRO
• IMCA M 166: Any changes should be recorded as annexes to
the FMEA. At suitable intervals, depending on the number of
relevant design changes made, the FMEA should be formally
updated
