Risk Analysis for Engine Room Fires on Ships: Case Study Using the Fine-Kinney Method

Abstract

Maritime transportation is considered to be the most preferred mode of global transportation due to its efficiency and low cost per unit of cargo compared to other modes of transportation. However, it involves many risky and important operations in the transportation process, from the handling of cargo to the maintenance of machinery and equipment. Ships are exposed to more risks as they have more complex and dangerous operations compared to cargo and ports. Therefore, ship management plays a major role in identifying these risks and taking the necessary precautions. The engine rooms, the most important main part of ship are also exposed to more risks than other areas due to high temperatures, flammable materials and complex systems. Assessment of the risks here, detection, evaluation and taking precautions by the relevant officers, especially the captain and chief engineer, as ship management, are very important for the safe operation of ships. In the study, the literature and reports on various ship accidents were examined and the risk factors related to engine room fires were determined by taking the opinions of experts consisting of chief engineers and 2nd engineers involved in ship management as a matter of subject. In the next stage, a risk analysis was carried out using the Fine-Kinney method, specifically for the accident of a container ship. As a result of the study, the highest risk was identified as machinery oil/fuel system failures and fuel line leaks.
