Risk Assessment

Conducted for Pacific Pilotage Authority and the Port of Metro Vancouver a study of the risks of berthing ultra-large container ships in Vancouver’s principal terminals. This project involved statistical analysis of PPA assignment data and incident records, and calculation of limiting approach angles and speeds for a range of potential future visitors of greatly increased size. Additional data collected from a number of foreign comparable terminals enabled the development of a risk-assessment tool for the PPA/PMV and the BC Coast Pilots.

Conducted as subcontractor to Lansdowne Technologies Inc. a safety assessment of line-handling operations on the Ridley Island coal terminal in Prince Rupert. This study investigated industry practices and legislation to recommend prudent improvements to current practice.

As sub-contractor to the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires, conducted a Harmonized Threat and Risk Assessment of physical vulnerabilities for a major multi-site military establishment.
