简介:该报告描述一条预设海底管道的基于定量风险分析(QRA)的泄漏检测标准(LDC)设计问题.定量风险分析的结果会反映出统计泄漏检测方法是否必要.如果必要,恰当的泄漏检测标准必须建立.在分析中,著名的英国PARLOC2001数据库将会用来估算管道实效概率。而来自MMS的POSVCM模型则用来做泄漏模拟计算.定量风险分析的结果说明,统计方法的泄露检测系统能打幅度地减少泄漏检测所需时间,从而减轻泄露的事故后果.根据QRA的分析结果,以及许多泄漏检测系统买主的建议,合理的西漏检测标准被设计出来.一旦泄漏事故产生,它可以帮助紧急事故相应组(ERT)快速检测,定位以及采取方法减轻泄漏.

简介:集运业可能会发生变化,但驱动因素将是技术革命而不是行业整合;迄今为止出现的相关证据是,行业整合减少了班轮公司数量,但没有改变他们的运营行为。例如,没有迹象表明市场竞争减弱。在短暂停顿后,各大班轮公司已经重新开始超大货轮订购。麦肯锡公司(McKinsey)在最近发布(但又很快撤回)的一份白皮书中颇有争议地指出,运力过剩“将会长期存在”。区块链——下一个伟大发明?但是,可能具有历史意义的好运正在降临!在航运业进行整合的同时,出现了有人认为将会改变世界的下一个突破性技术:分布式账本,即区块链。尽管这种技术有待发展,而且可能需要多年时间才能实现,但人类首次有望找出一条大幅降低全球贸易相关成本的途径。
