Executive summary
This report has three main goals:
-
1.
To present and compare the various procedures of assessment of risk to life and limb as they have been applied to liquefied energy gas (LEG) terminal siting, and in doing so to clarify the limits of knowledge and understanding of LEG risks.
-
2.
To quantify and compare the risks to life and limb at four LEG terminal sites, namely Eemshaven (Netherlands--NL), Mossmorran (United Kingdom--UK), Point Conception(USA) and Wilhelmshaven (Federal Republic of Germany--D), by using the available risk assessment report.
-
3.
To evaluate the risk assessments undertaken for the four LEG terminal sites under consideration and to give guidelines as to how to produce good LEG risk assessment reports.
