Abstract:

The barges are one of the most important critical infrastructures of the countries. The barges provide drinking water, irrigation water, hydroelectric energy, and the barges are also used in fishing and water sports. Their economic importance and being large structures make them more unprotected against threats. In this study, for a barge, 8 (eight) human-made and naturally occurring disasters (siber attacks, terrorist attacks, sabotage, fire, electricity interruptions, flood disasters, earthquakes and heilans) were identified and the risk assessment was made for these disasters using the Bully Fine-Kinney Method. The study found that terrorist attacks, earthquakes and heil were the most significant risks for the barge.
