Vanem, E., Antão, P., Østvik, I. e Del Castillo de Comas, F. (2008), “Analysing the risk of LNG carrier operations”, Reliability Engineering and System Safety, Vol. 93, pp. 1328-1344

This paper presents a generic, high-level risk assessment of the global operation of ocean-going LNG carriers. The analysis collects and combines information from several sources such as an initial hazid, a thorough review of historic LNG accidents, review of previous studies, published damage statistics and expert judgment, and develops modular risk models for critical accident scenarios. In accordance with these risk models, available information from the different sources has been structured in the form of event trees for different generic accident categories. In this way, high-risk areas pertaining to LNG shipping operations have been identified. The major contributions to the risk associated with LNG shipping are found to stem from five generic accident categories, i.e. collision, grounding, contact, fire and explosion and events occurring while loading or unloading LNG at the terminal.
