Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 商船學系所 === 92 === Containerized cargo has cost about 82 million US dollars from 1987 to 2002, according to the UK P&I Club’s own analysis of major claims (over $100,000) spanning a period of 16 years. In addition, containerized cargo had clearly been showed above the all major claims trend since 1991, and showed signs of increasing. Recently, however, any company or the maritime industry cannot shoulder more and more serious containerized cargo accidents cost.
In consideration of this problem, the application of risk management techniques to containerized cargo loss is essential and significance to container carrier. But at same time, there is still no systematic risk management methodology and loss prevention for containerized cargo. For this reason, this study is based on Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) methodology to develop the Containerized Transport Safety Assessment Philosophy. Then try to find first 3 hazard factors by questionnaires, statistics and the risk matrix to demonstrate the application of the Philosophy. In conclusion, proposed the suitable loss prevention measures to expect to help for lessening or eliminating the serious maritime pecuniary loss from the hazard factor.
The findings of this study indicate:
1 The Philosophy is suitable for the Containerized Transport;
2 First 3 hazard factors are “Cargo Loss from Sinking Accident”, “Fire and Explosion” and “Cargo Shifting from Bad Stowage and Securing in Container”;
3 Loss prevention measures by applying FTA and ETA method are firstly improvement in “Ignoring of Maintenance and Operation Procedure for Equipment and Machinery”, “Not Up to Date Regulations and Data”, “Insufficient and Incorrect Cargo Information” and “Applicable Operation Procedure of Safety Cargo Stowage and Securing”;
In addition there is quite direct and indirect relation with human errors in these 3 hazard factors.
Key word: Safety Assessment Philosophy, Formal Safety Assessment (FSA), Containerized Cargo Loss Prevention, Hazard Factor Analysis, Risk Management.
