This work explores the implications of the different formulations of ship structural reliability, which have been used in the past. The problems in modelling the time varying load and strength of ship structures with time invariant idealisations adequate for first order reliability analysis are discussed. Different formulations are proposed and their implications are assessed and discussed.
