• The transportation of chemicals is often carried out using containers; a system characterised by the high density of the storage. In such cases, if there is a fire in one container it will affect the adjacent ones. The effects of such an accident are studied through the analysis of a case: a fire on two containers located on a ship. The possibility of BLEVE occurrence is analysed, as is the thermal radiation and the dispersion of smoke.
