Abstract
The presented paper is concerned with the problems of assessing the risk level for service chain of refrigerated containers in seaports. This issue has been examined with regard to the losses related to the loss of cargo’s qualitative values. The paper identifies the links in the service chain as well as related hazards and events resulting in losses. The term “chain” has been defined for the refrigerated container service chain. Material losses generated by the loss of cargo’s qualitative values have also been examined. The paper suggests and justifies functional and numeric risk measures. With regard to the examined process the study presents the elements of loss modelling methodology. The risk level has been evaluated using selected calculation examples, considering the impact of the probability of events resulting in losses.
Highlights
Refrigerated containers play an increasingly important role on the contemporary market of transport services
Hazards in the refrigerated container service process. As it has already been indicated, the links of the refrigerated container service chain in a seaport are a source of events that may generate losses of various nature (Container Handbook, 2015)
When designing the processes of servicing refrigerated containers in seaports an important role should be played by risk analysis accompanying such processes
Summary
Refrigerated containers play an increasingly important role on the contemporary market of transport services. Identification of the container service chain The transport of perishable cargo in refrigerated containers is exposed to the impact of hazards of various nature The collections of those threats are characteristic for and related to the implementation of specified links of the transport process (e.g.: carriage of a container by sea, land, reloading etc.) What is important here is the impact of both the people involved in the provision of a given link and the kinds of impacts of the artificial and natural environment specific for it. Based on the data collected in seaports in Poland and Ukraine the links have been identified and their description – taking account of the approach presented in the paper (Filina-Dawidowicz, 2014) – has been presented in table 1 As it appears from table 1, in the process of refrigerated container service in a port, we can separate basic and auxiliary links. High diversity of the links implies the diversity of related hazards
