Abstract

The transportation of hazardous materials like ammonia via barge requires stringent health, safety, and environmental management due to the inherent risks involved. Ammonia is a toxic and flammable substance, and its handling demands meticulous risk assessment and robust control measures to prevent potential accidents that could impact human life, property, and the environment. This paper focusses on evaluating and improving the safety of ammonia loading and unloading operations on a barge. The study employs techniques such as Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) and Hazard Identification (HAZID). The aim is to identify weaknesses in current practices and propose enhancements to ensure a safer working environment in accordance with international standards such as ISO 17776. By conducting this analysis, the project seeks to contribute to the development of a comprehensive safety framework that supports effective decision-making and ensures regulatory compliance in high-risk marine operations involving hazardous chemicals.
