VESSEL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT • NAVRULES / COLREGS • Ship’s Routing Measures – Port Access Route Studies – TSS / Fairways – Navigation Regulations • Equipment Carriage – Bridge-to-Bridge Radio – Navigation Equipment (SOLAS V) • IMO & IALA Membership • Nav & VTS IALA Committees • Vessel Traffic Services • VTS’s and Cooperative Partnerships • Ports & Waterways Safety System • Ports & Waterways Safety Assessments 11 PAWSA

PAWSA BACKGROUND • VTS Congressional mandate – Identify minimum user requirements in consultation with local stakeholders – Review private / public partnerships • USCG convenes National Dialog Group – Major maritime interests 12 PAWSA

NDG TASKS • Identify mariner information needs • Define a VTS baseline • Develop a process for determining where vessel traffic management (VTM) needs to be improved 13 PAWSA

NDG THREE KEYS 1. Involve users & stakeholders 2. Tailor specific actions 3. Address risks Solution Waterway Risk Model 14 PAWSA

PAWSA • Methodical analytical approach to risk management • Understand local issues through local input Ø Define the current state Ø Identify & quantify risks Ø Evaluate the effectiveness of existing measures • Develop future mitigation strategies • Credible / defensible • Gather info for investment decisions 15 PAWSA

PAWSAs COMPLETED Haro Strait / Boundary Pass Sault Ste. Marie Long Island Sound Lower Columbia River Coos Bay Portland Detroit Boston Buzzards Bay Cincinnati Narragansett Bay Louisville Baltimore San Francisco Hampton Roads LA/LB Charleston Berwick Bay Pascagoula San Diego Mobile Port Fourchon Houston / Galveston Anchorage Honolulu Torres Strait PAWSA Tampa Port Everglades Miami Lake Charles Port Arthur Texas City Port Lavaca Corpus Christi San Juan 16 Ponce

PAWSA RECURRING RISKS • ATON visibility & channel configuration • Small craft & fishing vessels – Local area & Rules of the Road familiarity – Communications & inexperienced operators • Commercial Towing – Local area familiarity & communications • Navigation conditions & hydrographic info 17 PAWSA

PAWSA RESULTS • 35+ conducted to date • Final report for first 28 completed • Various ports relying on results to effect change – Increased budgets – Improved infrastructure – New VTS’s • Model & process refined & improved • Implementation Guide revisions PAWSA 18

WATERWAY RISK MODEL RISK PROBABILITY IMPACT 19 PAWSA

WATERWAY RISK MODEL RISK PROBABILITY IMPACT • Vessel Conditions • Immediate Consequences • Traffic Conditions • Subsequent Consequences • Navigational Conditions • Waterway Conditions 20 PAWSA

WATERWAY RISK MODEL 24 PAWSA

VESSEL CONDITIONS Deep Draft Vessel Quality – Age / maintenance – Flag / class society / owner – Casualty history – Crew nationality(ies) 25 PAWSA

VESSEL CONDITIONS Shallow Draft Vessel Quality – – – Vessel operations knowledge Local area experience Language barriers Crew fatigue Maintenance 26 PAWSA

VESSEL CONDITIONS Commercial Fishing Vessel Quality – Vessel operations knowledge – Local area experience – Chronic fatigue syndrome – Language issues 27 PAWSA

VESSEL CONDITIONS Small Craft Quality – Knowledge of Rules of the Road – Awareness of other traffic – Inebriation 28 PAWSA

TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Volume of Commercial Traffic – Deep draft – Shallow draft – Commercial Fishing – Infrastructure capabilities 30 PAWSA

TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Volume of Small Craft Traffic – Volume – Seasonality – Marine events 31 PAWSA

TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Traffic Mix – Single use waterway – Multiple use waterway – Conflicts 32 PAWSA

TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Congestion – Density – Times / locations 33 PAWSA

NAVIGATIONAL CONDITIONS Winds – Speed – Predictability 34 PAWSA

NAVIGATIONAL CONDITIONS Water Movement – River, tidal, & ocean – Maximum strength – Predictability – Seasonality – Cross-channel 35 PAWSA

NAVIGATIONAL CONDITIONS Visibility Restrictions – Ability to see • aids to navigation • other vessels – Fog, rain, snow, smoke, etc. 36 PAWSA

NAVIGATIONAL CONDITIONS Obstructions – Affect safe navigation – Ice, floating debris, fishing nets, etc. 37 PAWSA

WATERWAY CONDITIONS Visibility Impediments – Moored vessels – Structures – Background lighting – Vegetation 38 PAWSA

WATERWAY CONDITIONS Dimensions – Passing arrangements – Channel width & depth – Air drafts 39 PAWSA

WATERWAY CONDITIONS Bottom Type – What do you hit if you touch bottom or run out of the channel? 40 PAWSA

WATERWAY CONDITIONS Configuration – Bends – Intersections / convergences – Crossing traffic 41 PAWSA

IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCES Personnel Injuries – – Cruise ships Ferries Dinner cruises Large charter fishing vessels 42 PAWSA

IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCES Petroleum Discharge – Petroleum products – Bulk shipments – Fire 43 PAWSA

IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCES Hazardous Materials Release – Chemical products – Bulk shipments 44 PAWSA

SUBSEQUENT CONSEQUENCES Health and Safety – Hazardous cargos – Population near waterway • rural area • town / small city • large metropolitan area – Water supplies 46 PAWSA

SUBSEQUENT CONSEQUENCES Environmental – Sensitive areas – Protected / endangered species 47 PAWSA

SUBSEQUENT CONSEQUENCES Aquatic Resources – Harvesting for: • Recreation • Subsistence • Commercial – Amount: • Light = 1 species / short season • Moderate = 2 - 3 species / long season • Heavy = >3 species / year-round 48 PAWSA

SUBSEQUENT CONSEQUENCES Economic – Effects if waterway is closed 49 PAWSA

WATERWAY RISK MODEL 50 PAWSA

TEAM EXPERTISE • Waterway User • Stakeholder • Regulator 51 PAWSA

WATERWAY RISK MODEL 52 PAWSA

Book 1: TEAM EXPERTISE Compared to the other participants we are: …probably in the UPPER THIRD of all the participants. …probably in the MIDDLE THIRD of all the participants. …probably in the LOWER THIRD of all the participants. with respect to our knowledge about: – Vessel Conditions – Immediate Consequences – Traffic Conditions – Subsequent Consequences – Navigational Conditions – Waterway Conditions 53 PAWSA

Book 2: RISK FACTOR RATING SCALES How much riskier is the condition on the right than the condition on the left? Subsequent Consequences: Economic impact of waterway closure affects ONLY port area Economic impact of waterway closure affects metropolitan area Economic impact of waterway closure affects wide region (Circle one number on each line) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 Economic impact of waterway closure affects metropolitan area 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 Economic impact of waterway closure affects wide region 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 Economic impact of waterway closure affects entire nation Equally Risky Somewhat More Risky Much More Risky Extremely More Risky 54 PAWSA
