The Marine Transportation System's goal is not to eliminate risk but to identify, understand, assess, and manage it. Recently, Coast Guard Marine Safety Offices (MSO) have begun to quantify risk, or qualify it in a manner that allows decision makers to evaluate trends, determine relationships, and make well-grounded decisions. This article summarizes some of the risk assessment and management tools implemented at MSO Jacksonville since 1996. The tools include vessel, facility, and port activity risk indices, and quantitative risk assessments. |
