Risk assessment for a commercial port with hazardous substances storage and facilities
Summary:
This thesis will assess the potential risk of a supposed commercial port, where flammable substances are supposed to be traded and stored. The area of "Kastella" at the Municipal Unit of Monemvasia, of the Municipality of Monemvasia, has been randomly selected for this purpose. The supposed commercial port and the storage facilities will be examined with emphasis on the prevention, avoidance, and response to a potential technological or Na-Tech disaster by national and international safety standards (Seveso III).
Specifically, a seaside area of approximately 30 hectares at the Kastella village, was randomly selected for this study, as a place for a new safe commercial port in South Peloponnese. For that purpose several risk assessment scenarios will be examined, to identify the potential factors of risk to a variety of sectors, including civil safety and health, occupational safety and health, environmental health, and port facilities safety. In these scenarios, we considered that the facilities will include 10 oil tanks with a total capacity of 27.000 tn, 2 LPG storage tanks with a total capacity of 1.000 tn, an LPG bottling plant, and flasks, and a tanker ship that has moored at the quay of the alleged port and is engaged in loading either gas or oil. The ship has a capacity of 10.000 tn and its tank contains 5.000 tn of flammable substance.
The boundaries of the alleged plot of land will be located north of the boundaries of the Kastella village. A section of the coastline north and east of the settlement will be within the land zone of the supposed port which will be within a protected marine area of the Nature 2000 network. Around the area of the proposed port facilities, there are a few scattered rural dwellings. The provincial road Neapolis - Monemvasias will cross a small part of the area of the supposed facilities north and west of the port. The assumed facilities will be at least 100 m away from the boundaries of the Kastella village. Also, the supposed port and the supposed facilities will be located at a distance of at least 2 km in a straight line from the nearest archaeological site, the quarry of Agios Fokas, and 7 km from the castle city of Monemvasia.
