ABSTRACT
Port systems are more prone to being risk oriented. Many specific
methods have been found to assess risk in a port area or operation. A review is
presented in different approaches
on human and environmental risks in port area. On the other hand, there is no
specific risk management method or framework to cope with threats and hazards
regarding on port machines or material accidents and port assets damages or
losses. This paper presents a risk management methodology, seeking to
investigate a process of assessing the assets hazards and damages into the
domain of port container terminal, by taking into account its different factors
and their mutual influences. This methodology constitutes a decision support
framework that will be used to conduct port to port risk evaluations or to
assess a whole port’s and terminal’s risk level in the
critical field of assets damages and losses, in order to facilitate improvement
strategies. An empirical study is
contacted for the years of 2003~2012, in order to
provide evidence for risk assessment and management in an economic effective
way, regarding port assets damages and losses, at the Port Container Terminal
of Piraeus in Greece.
