| Summary: | Floating storage facility is increasingly becoming the preferred solution for new
installation in offshore industry. The facility has the ability to handle changes of oil
reservoir and process as well as offering storage and offloading at the same time. With
the straight forward of building and conversion based on the ship building technology,
the system will easily contribute to the potential hazard or risk that is difficult to
quantify due to short of experience, if compared to shipping industry. This thesis gives
an overview of the potential hazards during normal activity and the safety impact to
personnel, asset and environment. The list of potential hazard is generated and
compiled during reviewing of the literature from journals, conference proceedings,
databases and guidelines related to offshore operation safety. The research study
followed Risk Assessment approach by using Risk Matrix as a tool to measure the
level of potential hazard. Survey data also analyzed through statistical method of
analysis using SPSS. The tools from ANOVA One Way and T-Test were used to
analyze further the significant differences of demographic facility towards potential
hazards. Tool from Pearson Correlation is used to analyze the data for the relationship
of the potential hazard towards safety impact of the facility. The research study
described the potential hazards mainly from marine activities that should be
considered at the floating storage facility operated in Malaysia. The findings reported
that the age of facility has significant difference for ship collision, from the perspective
of facility’s demographic. The result also shows mooring system having significant
difference for hull failure since the statistical finding is significant. For the level of
hazard, it shows that on the first ranking is hydrocarbon release followed by
occupational accident, ship collision and hull failure. The result shows positive,
significant and yet low extent for the relationship of potential hazards towards safety
impact of the facility. The findings from the collected experience-based and research
survey data can be applied to facilitate the development of rationalized approaches for
the top management in decision-making for the safety guideline, policy making and
investment towards the floating storage facility. |
