Digest on Transport Canada’s 2013 Tanker Safety Expert Panel report covering areas south of the 60th parallel.
This Chapter draws on the experience of other national jurisdictions on centralized Marine Casualty Management systems.
Compared to areas south of the 60th parallel, the Arctic is a much more complex environment within which to prepare for and respond to spills.
Unlike Canada’s oil spill response regime, there is currently no similar regulatory program in place for HNS preparedness and response.
Q&A with an independent shipping research leader
Clear Seas examined the spatial distribution of commercial marine shipping incidents and accidents in and around Canadian waters and created an interactive, user-friendly visualization tool to share this data. Accessible to all, this tool can be used to highlight areas of potential shipping risks, identify trends in marine incident reporting, and help inform policymakers and the public on the safety of marine shipping in Canada.
Clear Seas’ survey finds that while some countries invest in a dedicated fleet of emergency tugs to rescue a ship in distress, others rely on help from tugs in the vicinity.
This Clear Seas report summarizes the risks of commercial marine shipping accidents across Canada’s regions and for different cargo types, while highlighting gaps in understanding and areas for further research.
Canada is funding a new organisation to research best practice and provide guidance for nationwide marine vessel safety
This powerful new resource will enable users to analyze trends, learn from past events, better assess risk, and help build a safer and more responsible marine shipping industry.
