| Abstract | Project risk management has been a subject of intensive discussion in recent years. Still, research on how project risk management should be adopted is inadequate. The objectives of this study are to identify the risks and how to manage risks in Port and Waterway (P&W) Projects. The focus of the study is on the means for risk management. The purpose is to emphasize the importance and requirement of risk management. The study was conducted with 7 interviews in two different P&W projects and mainly targeted to the engineers involved in the projects. Literature searches were mostly done by using AIT library materials and databases. Empirical study was used to show the application area for risk management derived from literature. Based on this, a picture of risk management in P&W projects was formed. The basic idea of the picture is to sensitize the engineers regarding the potential risks and suggest how to manage them. According to the understanding gained during this study, it is suggested that by enabling more caution of risk management methods, project risk management will become more efficient and the inefficient and costly activities identified would be reduced. |
