Research on the crude oil shipping import security system evaluation

With the development of China´s economy, the nation´s crude oil production is far from meeting the demand now. Therefore, China requires a large amount of crude oil imported from abroad to meet the domestic consumption demand. Except for small part oil importing from Russia, Kazakhstan and other countries through the pipeline and railway, most of the crude oil is imported from abroad through tankers. Thus the shipping security has become an issue need to be solved urgently in crude oil import in China. This paper analyzed the security system on the basis of the current status and constructed shipping security evaluation index system of China´s crude oil imports, then we evaluated the shipping security of China´s crude oil imports from 2005 to 2009 using the method of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation.
