A study on risk assessment and management of oil spill hazards in ports

Abstract

Oil spills represent one of the most critical environmental hazards associated with maritime operations, particularly in harbourage areas that handle petroleum and chemical weight. This study aims to estimate the threat of oil painting tumbles and explore effective operation strategies through a combined qualitative and quantitative approach. By assaying both transnational and indigenous oil painting slip incidents, including the 2017 Ennore Port slip in India, the exploration applies Poisson distribution modelling to estimate the frequence of tumbles and assess slip probability trends over time.
