Foundations of an Enterprise Risk Management Program For Operating/Non-Container Ports

The administration of port operations, regardless of departmental function, involves risk management responsibilities. An enterprise-wide understanding of how to recognize, mitigate, and adjust to risks is critical to the success of any port. This paper explores the foundational elements of enterprise risk management (ERM) tailored to operating, non-container ports, focusing on challenges and opportunities in risk mitigation. The research highlights the importance of leadership in defining risk management objectives and integrating them across all departments.
