Site-specific risk assessment: defining the safety zone

Case study: safe LNG bunkering in Portsmouth International

Port

A safety zone should be established in order to enable safe control within a defined

area of operations and provide mitigation from potential hazards originated from:

• LNG bunkering operations alongside or at anchorage having an impact on to third

parties and passing or moored vessels at location.

• Potential impact on to the bunkering operations by passing ship traffic, or accident

hazard originated from third party operations at a near location.
