Marine Liquid Docks – A Tier 1 Family of Assets
- The liquid Dock is, without question, a tier 1 asset to a Marine Terminal, in terms of productivity, operability, environmental, safety and regulatory compliance.
- A focus on the marine aspect of the facility is mission critical to the facility.
- Will the failure in this asset result in immediate impact to, or shutdown of, multiple operations or systems
- This failure will prevent capacity assurance due to the operational, environmental, or regulatory requirements.
- Tier 1 assets typically have no redundancy and issues related to tier 1 assets must be addressed immediately in an emergency.

Criticality
- How critical is your asset to the overall functionality of the facility, how critical are the child assets to the parent asset.
- Common sense is no longer that common, we take the guess work out of facility management.
- Operability
- Safety
- Environmental
- Single Point Failure
- Maintainability
- Reliability
- Spare Parts Lead Time
