Nautical Term: ESPH
Definition of ESPH
The term ‘ESPH’ stands for ‘Evaluation of Safety and Pollution Hazards.’ In the context of maritime operations, ESPH refers to the systematic evaluation of potential safety hazards and pollution risks associated with a particular maritime activity or vessel.
For instance, when a cargo ship is preparing to load a bulk commodity such as grain, ESPH would involve a comprehensive assessment of the potential hazards and risks associated with the loading process. This could include an evaluation of the stability of the cargo ship during the loading process, an assessment of the potential for cargo shift or cargo settling during the loading process, and an evaluation of the potential for environmental pollution during the loading process, such as the accidental release of oil or other harmful substances into the water.
