Safety assessment model of coastal passenger vessel in the perspective of life jacket compatibility

Abstract

This research was conducted due to frequent occurrence of passenger vessel accidents related to the use of life jackets, which believed due to incompatibility between life jackets and passenger vessels. To address this problem, the research sets to develop a safety assessment model of coastal passenger vessel (CPV) in the perspective of life jackers compatibility, which is known as Life Jacket Compatibility Index (LCI) model. The main purpose of LCI model is to evaluate the life jacket's compatibility with CPV.
