Marine operations include the movement, berthing, and un-berthing of ships and other marine crafts within the limits and approaches of the port authority. Ships are the main means of transport of various liquids and gases, some of which are hazardous and extremely dangerous, if mishandled, to port workers as well as marine flora and fauna. Thus, vessels carrying dangerous material need to be effectively managed to ensure safety. Marine safety involves the prevention of damage and pollution to the marine environment through strict rules, restrictions and legislations.
Port authorities need to follow certain practices and procedures during port operations to maintain marine safety. However, marine safety during port operations does not apply to port authorities and organizations alone but also involves contractors, vendors and other authorized officers working in and around a port.
A safety management system, including a safety policy, is ideal to present uniform guidelines and standards of work and practices during port operations. A safety management system is based upon a formal risk assessment of marine activities during port operations. Successful safety management is possible through effective safety policies, effective management structures, planned and systematic approaches to implementation of the systems, performance measurement against standards and experiential learning and associated amendments. Marine safety has a huge impact on the environment and can help facilitate commerce; it is closely related to environmental conservation. Human error and natural failure are the two main causes of marine accidents. Thus, one of the major contributors and influencers of marine safety around ports is training and education of port operations’ personnel to meet safety standards. Risks to marine safety are reduced by more than half on education and training of personnel carrying out port operations.
Marine safety data analysis is very important to prioritize prevention initiatives. Today, there are numerous conventions and guidelines setting boundaries of safety and efficiency at ports. Technology, too, has played a major role in improving marine safety. This program will empower you with knowledge and information regarding best practices to maintain marine safety during port operations. It will provide you all necessary details to ensure that you maintain a safe work environment and help colleagues do so. The program will help you understand, in detail, how port operations and certain practices can impact marine safety, pollution and the health and well-being on marine flora and fauna.

Benchmarking studies on various oil refineries around the world have shown that rotating equipment accounts for more than 20% of all maintenance and inspection costs. Also, rotating equipment is often at key nodes of the process and is frequently critical to production. Therefore failure would lead to unacceptable downtime costs.
