1 Canaport Energy East Marine Terminal Presentation Carlos Pardo September 26 & 28, 2016 Document Number Energy East Protected UNCONTROLLED IF PRINTED

2 Canaport Marine Terminal Berths and Platforms 2

3 Project Activities Plans, specifications, constructability and engineering details NEB Filing Environmental and human interactions and impacts Front End Engineering Design TERMPOL Navigation, mooring, instrumentation, terminal operation 3

4 TERMPOL Technical Review Process of Marine Terminal Systems and Transhipment Sites Voluntary process to. Reduce circumstances that threaten the integrity of the ship s cargo and terminal containment facilities Guidance in the identification of potential hazards Strengthen the mitigation of risk Improve on quality of data available Establish & maintain communication & interfaces 4

5 Ship Specifications Tanker Class Aframax Tankers 70 Suezmax Tankers 175 Very Large Crude Carrier 36 Total 281 This equates to less than one tanker a day These sizes of tankers are currently transporting oil in the area

6 Site Plans and Technical Data Canaport Offshore Structures Berth 1 Designed for Aframax, Suezmax and VLCC class tankers Flow rate of 15,000 m3/hr 4 Loading arms 2 Vapour return arms Berth 2 Berth 2: Designed for Aframax and Suezmax class tankers Flow rate of 12,200 m3/hr 3 Loading arms 2 Vapour return arms 6

7 Cargo Transfer Systems Secondary Containment Secondary containment systems on board tankers and at loading platforms On-site spill recovery facilities for water-borne and land based type releases Concrete decking and curbs channel the water to double walled sump tanks that will pump the contents back to the foreshore into a contact oily water storage tank 7

8 Route Analysis Marine Terminal Approach Traffic Separation Scheme / Inshore Traffic Zone Tankers approach proposed terminal through established navigation routes Pilot Boarding Terminal located in established pilotage zones Terminal Approach Terminal assisted by tugs Berthing Docking Aid System Personal Pilot Unit (PPU) Fenders Document Number Energy East Protected UNCONTROLLED IF PRINTED

9 Approach Characteristics and Navigability Navigation Route - Canaport Design to Date Canaport Under the Atlantic Pilotage Authority (APA) at Saint John, Compulsory pilotage is required for: Canadian registered ships over 1,500 tons Any ship that is not registered in Canada, including floating cranes Any combination of tug and tow if more than one unit is being towed 9

10 Channel Maneuvering and Berth Procedures Full Mission Bridge Simulations The simulator is a mock-up of an actual vessel bridge with typical engine, navigation instruments, radios, and windows formed by projection screens which project computer-generated images of what the bridge crew would see looking out the windows The simulations take place in real time, with actual pilots and other crew at the controls making navigation decisions and communicating by radio to others Real-time simulations: Verify navigation feasibility Confirm berth configuration & orientation Establish tug support requirements Procedures to establish operating limits Document Number Energy East Protected UNCONTROLLED IF PRINTED 10

11 Anchorage Areas Tankers calling at the Canaport Energy East marine terminal would use Anchorage Areas B or D as per the latest SJPA Practices and Procedures The estimated increase in the use of Anchorages B and D due to the tanker traffic generated by Energy East was estimated to be 56 calls per year The busiest year in the historical records was used Based on this data, Energy East believes the capacity and procedures for usage of Anchorage Areas B and D are sufficient for the predicted marine traffic calling at the Canaport Energy East marine terminal. 11

12 Mooring and Loading Mooring Quick release hooks Mooring line monitoring Cargo Loading Pre-arrival and pre-loading requirements Quick Connect Disconnect Coupling (QCDC) couplings Over-travel alarms on loading arms Secondary containment system On-site spill recovery facilities Real time weather measurement and forecasting Document Number Energy East Protected UNCONTROLLED IF PRINTED

13 Tanker Vetting Purpose is to: Increase safety at sea and to decrease pollution It is a two step process: The tanker owner is vetted by the shipper to conform to all applicable laws & regulations, before nomination The marine terminal subsequently vets the nominated tankers to ensure compatibility with the terminal layout, facilities and equipment, as well as history of the tanker s operation.

16 Risk Analysis Shipping Risk Assessment Energy East has conducted a risk assessment of the Canaport Energy East marine terminal and marine shipping The purpose was to determine the potential credible worst case scenario and associated costs in the unlikely event of an accident or malfunction The scope of the risk assessment included; Loading operations Berthing maneuvers of tankers at the marine terminal Marine shipping within Canadian jurisdictional waters 16

17 Study Details - Risk Studies Objective - evaluate risks & impacts of uncontrolled releases of cargo (en-route or at the terminal) Potential scenarios Ship collision Ship grounding Ship strike fixed object Mooring breakout Improper cargo transfer incident Fire or explosion 17

18 Combined Credible Worst Case Calculation Location Worst Credible Spill Volume (Probability) Pilot Station Marine Terminal Loading Release Incident Incident Type Vessel Size (VLCC Suezmax Aframax) LOC Frequency (/yr) Spill volumes by probability & vessel 10,590 m3 (2,288 years) 1,786 m3 (1,852 years) 43 m3 (476 years) Outbound Transit 12,439 m3 (3,448 years) 18

19 Oil Spill Modelling Energy East conducted spill model simulations of the most probable trajectory of the credible worst case volume Three oil types were used to address the range of possible crude oils present at the terminal Spills were simulated in both the summer and winter season A three dimensional hydrodynamic model of the Bay of Fundy, Saint John River and Saint John Harbour was used Results from the model simulations were used to determine trajectories for the worst case spill events 19

21 Emergency Response Scenarios Trajectories identified in simulations subsequently included the application of emergency response resources and tactics to identify areas that would likely be impacted 21

22 Marine Terminal Operations 24/7 Monitoring and Control The marine terminal will be monitored by TransCanada s Operations Control Centre (OCC) located in Calgary, Alberta, by the local control center located in Saint John, and the berth operator at the terminal. The marine Terminal will have the capability to control operation locally in coordination with TransCanada s OCC. The marine terminal will be locally manned 24/7 22
