Abstract

There are always risks involved in the operation of the transport, storage or use of dangerous goods. What is important here is to analyze each point that will create a risk by separating the risk categories from the entrance to the exit of the hazardous material by determining the risk priorities according to the violence and its effects that will occur when the explosion occurs. With the increase in the number of dangerous goods carried around the world, it has become even more important to understand the basic concepts of transport, storage and handling of dangerous goods by all members of the supply chain to reduce the risks associated with these activities. The Maritime Safety Committee adopted recommendations on the safe transport of dangerous cargos distributed through MSC / Circ.675 and related activities in port areas at its sixth session (5-9 December 1994). The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been developed as a single international code for maritime transport of dangerous goods. Since January 2010, 34-08. The IMDG Code, as amended, extends the training requirements to include coastal staff involved in the transport and storage of dangerous goods for sea transport. The focus of this article is on the installation and application phases of the tank terminal fire safety system within the Hopa Port emergency action plan of the fire safety measures to be taken against the risks of fire and explosion which dangerous cargoes handled or stored in the ports will be brought into action.
