Analysis and Control of Ammunition Transportation Risk Management at Explosive Storage Depots and Consumer (User Units) in the Indonesian Navy

The risk of ammunition transportation in explosive storage warehouses is very high, making safety and security management essential, considering potential impacts such as injury and fatality. This research aims to analyze the risks associated with ammunition transportation in storage warehouses, both active and expired, at the Naval Storage Depot. Transportation plays a crucial role in moving ammunition from one warehouse to another for storage rotation or readiness for consumer by the user units. So far trucks have been considered faster and more effective for transportation, but significant hazards such as shocks, impacts, vibrations, and road conditions increase the negative risks to ammunition, such as ammunition damage, chemical degradation due to shocks and vibrations, or gas leaks. In the past the use of trolley had a high safety level but practical constraints like transportation routes made them less feasible leading to their deactivation due to situational demands. Risk analysis is conducted through a systematic approach that includes identification, assessment, control, and risk management in the use of transportation tools between trucks and trolleys. This comparison is expected to control risk management and decision- making to provide an understanding of potential risks and the development of effective mitigation strategies contributing to improved safety and security during ammunition transportation.
