Risk Management in LNG Ports Supply Chains

Zusatztext

Due to its environmental attributes, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as a clean fossil fuel source of energy has witnessed a steady increase in demand worldwide over the last decade. This growing role of LNG among competing energy sources has raised concerns over the safety and security of the LNG chain of production, transport and distribution. LNG ports and marine terminals, being strategically located at the midstream of the LNG Supply Chain are further exposed to safety and security risks and represent credible targets for international terrorism. Ensuring robust and resilient LNG SCs requires first, adequate management of safety and security risks in LNG ports and marine terminals. While each discipline of risk has received significant attention both in theory and practice, less attention was given to the management of interfaces and shared impacts among LNG Ports safety and security risks which led to the existence of gaps in the risk management systems of LNG ports and may represent a major source of risk and disruption to LNG ports. This book addresses such gaps which are poorly addressed in the current literature and proposes a holistic and integrated approach.
