Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the design of a process of environmental risks management including a managerial plan of prevention, risk management and intervention methods in accidents specifically in aboard merchant ships. For this, a new systemic model could be suggested in its practical aspect called environmental risk management spiral (ERMAS). This approach is based on analysing and assessment of different scenarios that affect the environment with taking into account the context of the case study. The outcome of this study consists on having a new systemic contextualising approach that can manage the environmental risks. In this paper, an application can be centralised on two important points: the definition of accident scenarios that can touch the maritime environment, and the adaptability of the ERMAS approach in this field in order to be generalised to other industrial fields. This new approach could be used in Algerian terminals as a tool of environmental risk management to facilitate the classification of all danger source events DSE.
