Abstract
Liquefied natural gas (LNAG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are extensively used as environmentally friendly and highly efficient energy sources. Nevertheless, the movement of goods by water has inherent risks to both the environment and human well-being. This study examines the potential hazards, safety precautions, and risk factors related with the transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) carriers. This research also aims to examine the perspectives and opinions of individuals working in the LNG and LPG business on the possible hazards, safety precautions, and risk elements related with LNG and LPG carriers. A survey was performed among a heterogeneous sample of 100 individuals from various areas of the business.The analysis reveals that a huge part of individuals expresses problem approximately ability risks associated with LNG and LPG transportation. While self belief in present day safety measures is extraordinary, there are dissenting evaluations, suggesting regions for improvement. Safety protocols, emergency reaction approaches, and the qualifications of personnel also showcase numerous perceptions. Environmental impact emerges as a chief challenge, highlighting the need for similarly research. Transparency and communique within the industry show blended responses, emphasizing potential regions for enhancement. Participants generally well known the fantastic impact of technological advancements, but neutrality suggests various views. Insurance and liability mechanisms are perceived positively, however dissenting critiques underscore areas of skepticism. International cooperation and requirements garner combined responses, indicating ability possibilities for global collaboration. The take a look at concludes by exploring the alignment between public notion and actual protection measures. While a massive component is glad, dissenting and impartial responses indicate room for development in aligning public belief with enterprise protection realities. Overall, this research contributes valuable insights for stakeholders, guiding future safety enhancements and coverage concerns in the LNG and LPG transportation area.
