L.1.3. THE USE OF THE IALA RISK MANAGEMENT TOOLS TRAINING
Casablanca, 18 to 22 May 2026
About the course
The IALA Risk Management Toolbox is a set of tools developed by the IALA (International Organization for Marine Aids to Navigation) to conduct maritime risk assessments. The toolbox includes five tools: IWRAP, PAWSA MK II, SIRA, IRMAS and Simulation. The IALA World-Wide Academy (WWA) provides training based on the “Use of the IALA Risk Management Tools” model course.
This training is designed for individuals responsible for overseeing waterway management as required by SOLAS Chapter V Regulations 12 and 13. The IALA World-Wide Academy, together with the “Institut Supérieur d’Etudes Maritimes ISEM” and the “Direction des Ports et du Domaine Publique Maritime” of Morocco, will run a training course focusing on the following IALA Risk Management tools and providing an overview of the others:
IWRAP is a standardized, quantitative method to evaluate the probability of collisions, groundings, and allisions in a given waterway. Using AIS data, IWRAP, a Windows-based software program, allows different scenarios to be developed so that changes such as those in traffic volume or composition, route geometry, aids to navigation or introducing other mitigating measures can be modelled.
SIRA is a simplified qualitative method to assess the volume of traffic and degree of risk and identify potential risk mitigation options to reduce the risks to acceptable levels. SIRA is particularly applicable where good quality AIS data, on which IWRAP depends, is unavailable or where access to individuals with the necessary experience level in the risk categories PAWSA uses is limited.
