The application of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis to formulation of strategy concerned with the safe carriage of bulk liquid chemicals in maritime tankers was examined in this study. SWOT analysis for safer carriage of bulk liquid chemicals in tankers. The findings of the sensitivity test revealed that the major reasons that could lead to fire and explosion during the tank cleaning process are ignition sources, reaction and safety culture. Linguistic variables whose fuzzy membership functions were identified were used in detecting the probabilities. Then, expert opinion was sought as the statistical data on accident reports were not recorded properly while identifying the conditional probability of the relationships between the variables. Firstly, the variables that are the subject of the problem and that constitute the graphical structure of the Bayes Networks are identified. In this study, a model was constructed through the Fuzzy Bayes Network Method for the probabilistic relationships between the causes of fire and explosion accidents that could occur during the tank cleaning process. Fire and explosion are the major accidents encountered in tanker operations. The study is composed of two stages.ĭirectory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)įull Text Available The safety and risk assessment of dangerous cargo operations in oil and chemical tankers is a necessary process to prevent possible accidents during these operations.
