The introduction of new horizontal drilling technologies has led to explosive growth in the domestic production of crude oil and natural gas, creating new freight flows by different modes of transport, especially impacting the pipeline, rail and maritime sectors. Several significant and dramatic incidents, triggered a study by the Transportation Research Board, which assessed the experience of all the impacted modes. Professor Philip was a member of the TRB Study Committee and will report on its findings, and on his team’s additional work looking more deeply into the safety experience of the maritime sector.
