CandidateMitigation Measures Sikumiut Environmental Management Ltd.
Timing • Vessel Transits • Based on 30 day turnaround, • 48 hours to load, • 72 hours to unload • 100 trips = 300 days offloading per annum • 65/365 = 20% operational flexibility
Avoidance • Ships route based on bathymetric charting swath width • More flexible in Hudson Strait vs Foxe Basin vsSteensby Inlet • Landfast ice – stay within broken track
Ships Passing • Always one at Steensby • None in landfast ice • Maximum of two in RSA • Hudson Strait • Foxe Basin
Option C, D • Generally stay to south Option D • Option C – depends on ice condition • Exception Works -observation, experiment?
