Abstract
Dette speciale vurderer sikkerheden ved marine operationer i Klaipeda Havn i Litauen. Dokumentet giver først et overblik over havnens historie, karakteristika, godsdynamik og væsentlige interessenter og afgrænser analysen til et overordnet havneperspektiv baseret på data fra Klaipeda State Sea Port Authority, idet virksomhedsspecifikke procedurer kun berøres kort. Den centrale problemstilling er at identificere de risici, der knytter sig til marine operationer – herunder skibstrafik, fortøjning, skibsinspektion før anløb, kontrol af olieudslip og godshåndtering – og fastslå, hvilke der er mest kritiske. Metodisk kombineres statistiske data, brainstorming, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) til prioritering af risici, bow-tie-analyse til at forbinde trusler, konsekvenser og barrierer samt en risikobehandlingsplan (undgåelse, afbødning, overførsel, accept). Analysen identificerer tre hovedrisici med højest risikoprioritet og udarbejder bow-ties for hver. Resultaterne peger på, at den overordnede drift er sikker, men at interne rederier bør styrke tilsyn, træning og beredskab, særligt i operationer med uundgåelig menneskelig indgriben.
This thesis assesses the safety of marine operations at the Port of Klaipeda, Lithuania. It first reviews the port’s history, characteristics, cargo dynamics and key stakeholders, and scopes the work to a port-wide perspective based on Klaipeda State Seaport Authority information, with company-specific procedures only briefly noted. The core research question is to identify the risks associated with marine operations—including ship traffic, berthing, pre-entry ship inspection, oil spill control and cargo handling—and determine which are most critical. Methods combine statistical data, brainstorming, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to prioritize risks, bow-tie analysis to link threats, consequences and barriers, and a risk treatment plan (avoidance, mitigation, transfer, acceptance). The analysis identifies three leading risks with the highest risk priority numbers and develops bow-ties for each. Overall, operations are found to be safe, but improvements are recommended for internal shipping companies, particularly enhanced supervision, training and emergency preparedness where human intervention is unavoidable.
