RISK ASSASMENT OF OIL and GAS TRANSPORTATION IN SUEZ CANAL The International Maritime Transport and Logistics Conference Sustainable Development of Suez Canal (MARLOG 2- March 2013)
ABSTRACT:
Transportation of oil and gas by Sea imposes challenges from a safety
viewpoint. In this type of transportation, different sizes of special tankers carrying
oil and gas. The marine transportation of these scarce natural riches is involved
with risks and hazards, which may lead to many losses for instance, wasting oil
and gas, injuries of people, damaging ships and properties, and damaging
environment. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the risks, hazards, and
accidents during transportation of oil and gas (mainly Crude Oil, liquefied
petroleum gas, and Liquefied natural gas) by Sea with concentrating on transport
safety. Hence, a better understanding of these risks and hazards can contribute to
decrease of addressed losses.
This study is carried out on risks associated with maritime transportation of
oil and gas starting with describing the general casual chain (dealing with causes,
incidents, accidents and consequences/causalities), continuing with describing risk
analysis techniques (including event tree analysis and fault tree analysis) and risk
control measures/options, and finally implementing aforesaid investigations on
real data from two areas namely Suez canal sector and associated seas. |
