Marine safety report for LNG Canada By Cameron Orr
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - A review which specifically looks at a project’s marine safety component has been done for the LNG Canada project. The process, called TERMPOL, is a voluntary one but one which many projects choose to undertake. (Enbridge’s
additional measures to promote shared safe use of the project’s preferred shipping route,” it reads. Some of those measures include having an escort tug between Triple Island and the facility, identify mitigations for drift grounding as part of a tug operations plan, and restrictions that limit where vessels can pass each other, de-
Northern Gateway Pipelines, for instance, underwent a similar review.) The report’s conclusion doesn’t show much specific concern over the project but does outline certain requirements the company should follow. “While the TRC does not consider the overall increase in marine traffic levels to be an issue, it does support
pending on the width of the channel. “Work is underway to build Canada’s preparedness and response regime for hazardous and noxious substances, including LNG” the report continues. “Relevant authorities are working towards standardizing procedures in response to the anticipated development
of an LNG export industry and related increase in marine traffic.” LNG Canada External Affairs Director Susannah Pierce says the company is happy to have the review. “LNG Canada is pleased to have completed the TERMPOL review process. Our TERMPOL submission was informed by
engagement with First Nations and local community members on their local knowledge of the proposed marine navigation route, and the TERMPOL Review Committee’s recommendations and observations reinforce and reconfirm our commitment to safety and ongoing engagement with local communities,” she said.
