Abstract
The risk and the consequences of possible accidents at Ikonio (Piraeus harbour, Greece) are investigated and analyzed in this paper. At this harbour large cargoes of dangerous chemicals (toxic or flammable) are unloaded and stored in warehouses or in marshalling yards. Houses and a school are located near the plant and are directly exposed to danger in the case of an accident. The results were obtained by Breeze Hazard Professional software package, which contains several models for performing consequence modeling through quantitative risk assessment.
