TRANSPORTATION OF COAL BY SEA AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ITS TRANSPORTATION

Abstract

Maritime and maritime transport is a vital component of the global economy and transport network. The number of people, firms and organizations using shipping is growing worldwide. As with other transport systems, safety is critical in maritime transport. Because ship emergency processes are very different from emergency evacuation processes from buildings and other vehicles and are more complex, many researchers have published a wide range of documents relevant to this specific area of research.
 In recent decades, marine accidents have attracted a lot of attention due to huge material damage, accidents and serious environmental pollution. Maritime transport can include unforeseen events resulting in catastrophic casualties as well as fatal injuries at sea. About 63% of shipping accidents in the world are recurring. In other words, they arise with courts that have already survived at least one previous accident. In this case, emergency management plans are recognized as a priority for prompt consideration, taking into account the potential consequences of natural disasters in the marine industry.
 The article discusses the issues of coal transportation by sea and requirements regarding the safe laying and transportation of coal. Unsafe transportation can lead to appropriate risks on board, such as structural damage iz-za improper distribution of coal, chemical reaction leading to spontaneous combustion, release of explosive gases and liquefaction.
 Since coal is subject to liquefaction, a number of precautions and procedures without precautions and follow procedures for safe loading and transportation.
 Purpose. The goal is to analyze coal as a dangerous cargo, and the risks associated with its transportation.
 Methodology the article used statistical methods of analysis and factor method of coal liquefaction.
 Results: parameters of comparison of coal particles, for its safe transportation.
 Practical implications it is advisable to apply the obtained results when transporting general goods by sea.
