“…When a dangerous goods container is allocated in a ship's hold, its location (e.g., bay, row, and tier in the ship) should be well-allocated (cf. Jia and Fagerholt [2]). Fundamentally, the movement of dangerous goods in the port environment is risky and transportation operations should obey related procedures and laws.…”

“…should be thoroughly trained so as to have the correct awareness to conduct their duties (Chen et al [1]). The port authorities must, in addition, regulate the safe operation rules for specific cargoes (e.g., pressurized tanks) during different types of operating environments, such as storage and segregation, and loading and unloading [2].…”

“…In addition, the necessary safe facilities (including fire-fighting equipment) should be well-established, and the required policies on marking, storage limitations (e.g., classes 3 and the maximum amount and height of dangerous goods), segregation, and emergency operation procedures when dangerous goods suffer from risk issues (e.g., explosion or spillage) should be implemented and monitored. Nevertheless, although many strict regulations have been established and conducted, and despite the undertaking of much research into storing and preventing accidents involving dangerous goods (e.g., Chen et al [1], Jia and Fagerholt [2], Birk [3], and Hervas-Peralta et al [4]), accidents due to the mishandling of dangerous goods in the port area still occur, arguably due to the many complex and unpredictable factors surrounding their storage and behavior. For example, on 12 August 2015, dangerous cargo in the Ruihai International Logistics warehouses at Tianjin Port exploded and resulted in 165 people dying and 8 people going missing [4][5][6][7].…”

“…Chen et al [1] conducted a factor diagnosis of dangerous goods accidents in China's ports to identify three key areas to focus on when handling, storing, and transporting dangerous goods: warehousing management, facilities equipment, and goods registration. Jia and Fagerholt [2] studied step-wise stowage planning in roll-on roll-off ships transporting dangerous goods with a view to identifying the optimum processes for the safe and economically efficient transport and storage of dangerous goods using roll-on roll-off shipping. Further, in terms of port issues, Hervás-Peralta et al [4] conducted the layout design of terminals with dangerous goods in Spain.…”

A Safety Assessment Model for Handling Dangerous Goods in Port Operations: The Key Role of Detection Capability

Recently, resilience studies have been emphasized in the port field, recognizing that many high-risk and unsafe factors in ports might bring serious disasters and economic losses. One major cause of significant losses is accidents from fires, explosions, and the resultant adverse impacts from dangerous goods. Whilst the occurrence of major events related to dangerous goods is relatively low in occurrence, their impact on the environment and economic and social loss, and on human casualties, can be extremely high when they do occur. In order to prevent potential risks and reduce losses, based on a literature review, a safety assessment model was developed with four criteria and 15 sub-criteria of dangerous goods in ports using a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) approach. This model formed the basis for a subsequent stage involving questionnaires with 25 experts. The results of these questionnaires found that the key criteria are detection capability, followed by recovery capability, rescue capability, and resistance capability. Sensitivity analysis is used to identify the criteria’s weight value changes under various scenarios. These findings concern dangerous goods operations management in ports. Critically, these findings emphasize the key role played in the initial stages of determining precisely and exactly what specific goods are in fact dangerous goods, thereby avoiding a domino effect of adverse consequences later. Suggestions are made for policymakers regarding funding and supporting processes for handling dangerous goods, as well as for future research.

“…The authors contributed to the methodology of risk assessment in ships, and relevant measures were proposed to improve the safety of mooring systems. Jia and Fagerholt 18 presented the current challenges of roll-on roll-off vessels carrying dangerous goods on long coastlines, and addressed recommendations to overcome this issue. Adumene et al 19 studied the effect of harsh environments on offshore oil and gas support operations.…”

The loss of revenue or global loss in term of cost due to downtime conditions is always a concern for field operators. Prevailing wave conditions may suddenly appear during offloading operations, which will influence the overall process and may lead to downtime of operations. Severe weather can significantly impact downtime costs of offloading operations and cause a huge loss of revenue. This research work integrates the dynamic stability with downtime cost for LNG carrier in different location of Malaysian waters using real time metocean data. This study on downtime cost utilizes the real time and location-specific wave scatters, as well as limiting criteria of offloading in Malaysian waters. The dynamic roll stability of LNG carrier was investigated for ABS criteria in two depths of water at three real-time locations. Susceptible wave conditions had been identified along with downtime cost analysis. This domain of downtime cost study was further rendered into mathematical package in the form of graphical interfaces for field operators. This mathematical based graphical interface facilitates in predicting location-specific downtime cost charts and allows operator companies to determine the fiscal losses for different range of downtime days and various capacities of LNG carrier. Overall, this research contributes by linking dynamic stability with operating costs through real time metocean data in Malaysian waters.
