Prince Rupert Port Authority British Columbia Canada - Navigational Risk Assessment Report
Year: 2012 Language: english Author: Prince Rupert Port Authority Publisher: Prince Rupert Port Authority Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 160 Description: This report describes the navigational risk assessment done for Prince Rupert Port Authority. It is a semi-quantitative assessment looking at the risks associated with a potential introduction of 100 crude oil tankers and 100 LNG carriers annually to and from a potential terminal at Ridley Island, British Colombia. Important outcomes of this assessment are: • The accident type evaluated to have the highest accident frequency for marine traffic transiting to and from Ridley Island is grounding. • While grounding is the most likely accident type, it is also the accident type that can be most effectively mitigated by the use of escort tugs (for drift grounding) and pilots (for powered grounding). • There is no evidence that risks levels at Prince Rupert are any higher than at comparable terminals in the US and Europe. Hazards identified in this assessment comprise known causes of worldwide marine tanker and terminal incidents as well as local factors, unique to British Columbia and Prince Rupert. Local knowledge of potential hazards was incorporated through a HAZID workshop with local stakeholders and a tour of the proposed marine routes.
