“…Natural risk sources are normal processes that occur in the natural environment [25]. These risk sources pose a threat to societies and organisations since they arise from uncontrollable changes in the physiognomy of the planet, such as meteorological, hydrological, atmospheric, geophysical, or mass movement fluctuation [7,24]. Unlike natural disasters, man-made risk sources are intentional or unintentional actions that can potentially cause harm to people or organisations [24].…”
Seaports are critical links within supply chains that are often located near residential areas. These seaports can be directly affected by the consequences of operational risk sources and natural disasters such as undeclared dangerous goods and flood, respectively. The diversity and large number of stakeholders at seaports add another level of complexity for risk management that requires a standard approach and clear guidelines. This paper aims to develop a prescriptive process model for cooperative risk management (CoRiMaS) in seaports to enable the stakeholder to manage different sources of risk during risk prevention and response. The prescriptive process model builds on two previous published papers which focused on developing a conceptual framework and a descriptive model based on an ontology for CoRiMaS, respectively. A detailed requirement analysis based on focus groups and a survey study in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) provide important inputs to integrate the required elements into the CoRiMaS prescriptive process model. The model requires an overall input represented by the type of seaport and structure. The prescriptive process model presents all steps and aspects related to stakeholder analysis, risk governance, risk management, and knowledge management. Implications for theory and practice, as well as an agenda for future research, are presented.

“…Natural risks occur ordinarily in the natural environment [16]. They endanger societies and organizations since they take place due to uncontrollable variations in the physiognomies of the planet, such geologic, volcanic, seismic, or mass movement variations [17].…”
The aim of this work is to detect communities of stakeholders at the port of Hamburg regarding their communication intensity in activities related to risk management. An exploratory mixed-method design is chosen as a methodology based on a compact survey and semi-structured interviews, as well as secondary data. A compact survey at the port of Hamburg is utilized to address the communication intensity values among stakeholders. Based on 28 full responses, the data is extracted, cleansed, and prepared for the network analysis using the software “Gephi”. Thereafter, the Louvain community detection algorithm is used to extract the communities from the network. A plausibility check is carried out using 15 semi-structured interviews and secondary data to verify and refine the results of the community analysis. The results have revealed different communities for the following risk categories: (a) natural disasters and (b) operational and safety risks. The focus of cooperation is on the reactive process and emergency plans. For instance, emergency plans play an important role in the handling of natural disasters such as floods or extreme winds.
In the presented paper, author focus on the issues related to risk assessment of transport processes performance. The author presented the characteristics of the traditional approach to risk assessment in transport, which is popular in the literature. This approach addresses the strategic risk assessment for the road transport system and it focuses primarily on aspects related to the transport safety. The business approach to risk assessment from the perspective of the managers of the transport process is presented in the next part of the article. In this case, the subject of the analysis is the operational risk, which focuses on the risks affecting the implementation of the transport process and the achievement of the company’s operational objective. The article concludes with a summary, including directions for further research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
