Evaluación de la amenaza y vulnerabilidad en la interfaz buque puerto asociado a la manipulación de hidrocarburos y otras sustancias peligrosas en los terminales marítimos de la capitanía de puerto de Buenaventura

Abstract

The Direccion General Maritima as the National Maritime Authority, implements the Government’s maritime policy and is responsible for regulating, directing, coordinating and controlling maritime activities; as an authority it has the function of assessing the threats and vulnerabilities that may arise in the processes of loading, unloading and bunkering of oil and liquid hazardous substances in the ship-port interface, carried out in the country’s capitals, in order to preserve human life at sea, the protection of the marine environment and biodiversity; serving as an input to decision-making in the face of the potential occurrence of threat scenarios. For this reason, under the internship modality, an assessment was made of the threat and vulnerability that may arise over the jurisdiction of the Port Authority of Buenaventura in the loading processes, discharge and bunkering of hydrocarbons and liquid hazardous substances, from methodological adaptation (Pedreros, 2012), "Analysis of emergency risks, disaster and business continuity in Colombian organizations". and (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE CONSERVATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE OIL INDUSTRY (IPIECA), 2013) Risk Assessment of Hydrocarbon Spills, in order to adopt guidelines for the development of the risk management plan, which stipulates the Colombian norm in Dec. 2157 of 2017. As a final result, natural, social and anthropic threats were obtained and presented on the areas of influence where operational activities were carried out, which had an impact on the operation and the processes carried out on the marine terminals, together the threat scenarios were obtained together with the probabilities of occurrence, the degree of consequence that may occur in the event of the realisation of the scenarios on the marine environment and port infrastructure, the risk calculation was also realized between the calculation of threat and vulnerability adjusted and finally the cartographic representation in which the degree of consequence of the threats and the elements exposed on the marine terminals under the jurisdiction was represented
