GMSL designed and compiled a Corporate Dashboard for the Pacific Pilotage Authority, combining a number of corporate and public data sources to present metrics and trends appropriate to depict corporate health for the CEO and Board. Using the considerable power of MS Excel, the Dashboard constitutes a single interface with key indicators and allows filtering through use of slicers and timelines to focus on particular periods and types of marine traffic.
Operational Risk Assessment
Nigel Greenwood2025-02-10T15:31:01-08:00Conducted for the Pacific Pilotage Authority a net risk assessment for the boarding marine pilots on LNG ships by helicopter. The study was commissioned by PPA in cooperation with Pacific Northwest LNG, BG, Shell and Chevron to consider the implications for the introduction of LNG trade from Prince Rupert and Kitimat. The result was unanimous acceptance and rapid progress to implementation.
Future Needs Assessment for Marine Pilots
Nigel Greenwood2015-11-16T11:24:19-08:00Under contract to the Pacific Pilotage Authority and the Port Authority of Prince Rupert, conducted an assessment of future  marine traffic growth (out to 2028) in the Prince Rupert area and the implications for the PPA’s current model of service delivery. Computer methods were used to simulate different hypothetical traffic volumes and mixtures, and to generate data on pilot tasking. This was then used to propose improvements in service delivery contingent on energy-ship introduction to the north coast.
Ship Routing Advisory Study
Nigel Greenwood2015-11-16T13:46:08-08:00Conducted a study of all current and future marine traffic in the Prince Rupert area and examined risks associated with traffic patterns, using multiple data sources including AIS tracks and GIS computer tools. Proposed a comprehensive plan of both formal and largely informal ship-routing and public-awareness measures to enhance mutual marine safety between large and small vessels in Chatham Sound and the harbour approaches to Prince Rupert.
