PORTS
Port Marine Safety Code – By extending the
experience gained in risk analysis of offshore marine operations, a Formal
Safety Assessment was conducted for Sullom Voe. This pioneering work was the second
FSA of marine operations carried out in the UK after the Sea Empress
disaster.
With experience in Forth Ports, Port of Dundee, Ports of Tyne and Sunderland,
and Whitby and Scarborough Harbours, our approach makes day-to-day risks
understandable to personnel.
Risk Support Limited’s methodology forges the link
between everyday tasks in ports and the risk barriers associated with
operations. As a direct result of the insights gained from our assessments, port
managers and personnel are able to distribute roles and responsibilities in an even
manner, optimising workflow and saving lives/time/money. All assessments are
complying with the Port Marine Safety Code. (See also
