A methodology, termed the Equivalent Safety Concept (ESC), to determine the relative hazards associated with vessels carrying hazardous materials into ports by establishing hazard indexes for the cargo, the ship, and the port was proposed by Danahy and Gathy in 1973. Formulations are presented for a vessel safety index and for a cargo hazard index addressing the risk due to flammability and inhalation toxicity on accidental release of the cargo. An initial approach to formulating a port hazard index also is presented but the review panel recommends that this index be refined by the Coast Guard and that it be used in its present form only as a guide for local authorities.
