Cincinnati Workshop Report

Abstract

A one-day Port Risk Assessment Workshop was conducted for Cincinnati, Ohio on January 18, 2001. This workshop report provides the following information: Brief description of the process used for the assessment; List of participants; Numerical results from the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) 1; Summary of risks and mitigations discussion; and Cincinnati Port Attributes Summaries. Strategies for reducing unmitigated risks will be the subject of a separate report. The risk assessment process is a structured approach to obtaining expert judgments on the level of waterway risk. The process also addresses the relative merits of specific types of Vessel Traffic Management (VTM) improvements for reducing risk in the port. Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the port risk assessment process uses a select group of waterway users/stakeholders in each port to evaluate waterway risk factors and the effectiveness of various VTM improvements. The process requires the participation of local Coast Guard officials before and throughout the workshops. Thus the process is a joint effort involving waterway experts and the agencies/entities responsible for implementing selected risk mitigation measures.
