ABSTRACT

The paper describes a study on fire accidents taking place aboard container ships. In total, 39 confirmed container ship fire accidents were discovered in the period 1996-2017. An epidemiological hazard analysis disclosed four high-consequence hazardous cargos that are calcium hypochlorite, compressed charcoal briquette products, rechargeable batteries and divinylbenzene. Cause-consequence analyses of the fire accidents with the four types of cargos were carried out that explicated all possible scenarios of accident escalation starting from a cause and ending with a consequence. The frequency of experiencing major fires was estimated as well. Further, different solutions to reduce fire detection time were explored and supported by fire simulation modelling with computational fluid dynamic software. Results of the simulation for two different detection solutions are presented.

摘要

该论文描述了一项关于发生在集装箱船上的火灾事故的研究。1996-2017年共发现39起已确认的集装箱船火灾事故。流行病学危害分析揭示了四种后果严重的危险货物，即次氯酸钙、压缩木炭制品、充电电池和二乙烯基苯。对四类货物的火灾事故进行了因果分析，阐明了从原因开始到结果结束的所有可能的事故升级场景。还估计了发生重大火灾的频率。此外，通过使用计算流体动力学软件的火灾模拟建模，探索并支持了减少火灾探测时间的不同解决方案。
