Risk Management Strategies for Electric Vehicles in Maritime Transportation

In recent years, due to the increase in the number of electric vehicles, accidents involving the use of Ro-Ro ships to transport electric vehicles have caused heavy losses to the industry. This work first used the AGCS-Safety Shipping Review and IMO GISIS databases for analysis. It revealed that after 2018, the primary cause of accidents was fire or explosions. This work constructs a risk assessment strategy, addresses the spontaneous combustion of automotive batteries, and proposes risk reduction countermeasures to ensure the safety of ships and vehicles in transportation.
