A Study On Safety Risk Assessment In Xiashimen Waters

With the rapidly increasing of the Ningbo-Zhoushan port’s throughput capacity, Xiazhimen Channel Waters, the primary gateway to Ningbo-Zhoushan, gains its navigation density. In recent years, several fatal ship collisions happened in this water area, which gained risk for the safety production operations of the port. Therefore, it is imperative to take a scientific assessment for the risks related to the navigation safety of Xiaszimen Waters, thus to improve the level of safety management for the area, and ensure the safe production operations.This paper mainly studied the issues as follows:Firstly, it surveyed the natural condition and Vessel Traffic of Xiazhimen waters;Secondly, it analysis the accidents occurred in this waters in recent years;Thirdly, it considered the factors influencing the ship safety, and used the method of fuzzy synthetic discrimination to determine the safety of Xiazhimen, and found the risks, then put forward relevant proposals.This paper studies the navigation risk of Xiashimen waters and makes the safety ev aluation. According to parts of accident statistics references, relevant theoretical, an anal ysis on the safety of navigation environment of Xiashimen waters is conducted; the pap er also classifies the reasons of meteorologic conditions, navigation situations, manage ment conditions and vessel traffic, and analyses the relations among these reasons and t he safety of vessel traffic; fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is used for building a clear s ystem of risk assessment to evaluate the safety risk of Xiashimen waters, based on whic h purposes of avoiding terrible ship collision accident and improving the unblocked reli ability of Ningbo Port exportation and importation is reached.
