1 ECRC~SIMEC Todd Yetman Newfoundland Response Centre Manager May 2013 Slide 1

2 Who Is ECRC ECRC is a Transport Canada Certified Response Organization Under Section 169.(1) of the Canadian Shipping Act, 2001 Vision Within its Geographic Area of Response, be the provider of choice for marine ships and designated oil handling facilities for oil spill response preparedness requirements under the Canada Shipping Act May 2013 Slide 2

3 Coverage Area Lake Athabaska Fort McMurray Lake Winnipeg Vancouver Juan de Fuca Strait Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) Atlantic Emergency Response Team (ALERT) Point Tupper Marine Services (PTMS) Eastern Canada Response Corporation (ECRC) Sarnia Montreal Niagara Quebec Sept-Iles Saint John Northumberland Strait Cabot Strait Halifax Point Tupper Holyrood Come-By-Chance May 2013 Slide 3

4 ECRC~SIMEC Response Centres Quebec City Sept Iles Verchères St. John s Holyrood Corunna Dartmouth May 2013 Slide 4

5 ECRC~SIMEC Clients >2300 total members >2200 Vessel Members (700 Bulk & 1500 Non-Bulk) >100 Oil Handling Facilities Members >18 Subscribers (Elective Members Pay an Annual Fee, but no cargo Fee ) Husky Oil, Exxon-Mobil, Suncor Energy Hibernia Mgt & Dev. Co. Ltd, Chevron, Enbridge Pipelines, Montreal Pipe Line Ltd., TransNorthern Pipelines, MI Drilling Fluids NS, Bruce Power Tiverton, Hydro Quebec, Nova Chemicals (Canada) Ltd., IOL Pipe Line, CN Rail May 2013 Slide 5

6 Response Options Available Options Conduct surveillance and monitoring Mechanical dispersion using prop washing or fire monitors (for sheen only) Containment and recovery (Mechanical Recovery) Wildlife measures (survey, hazing, or collection) Allow natural dispersion (based on product and conditions) Countermeasures requiring approval Chemical Dispersants In-Situ Burning May 2013 Slide 6

7 Need For Rapid Response Response to an unsheltered waters spill must be initiated quickly Oil will spread rapidly, without restriction on open water (surface area increases, thickness decreases) Wind and current will eventually transport oil away from the spill location possibly further from resources Amount of oil on surface may decrease through evaporation, however volume may increase due to emulsification depending on oil type Response effort increases as oil moves and spreads Remoteness and resources at site means initial response is executed by vessel crews May 2013 Slide 7

8 Response Options Response Options Vs Seastate Single Vessel Side-Sweep Two Vessel Sweep Mechanical Dispersion Chemical Dispersion In-Situ Burning Natural Dispersion Observe/Monitor Seastate Conditions (Beaufort Scale) Note: Beaufort Scale wave heights/wind speeds 4 (1 to 1.5m/11 to 16 kts), 6 (3 to 4m/22 to 27 kts), 11 (11.5 to 16m/56 to 63 kts) May 2013 Slide 8

9 Mechanical Recovery Parts Of A Typical Recovery System Boom Used to direct and contain the oil on the water for recovery. Skimmer / Pump Used to transfer the recovered oil form the boom collection point to temporary storage (On vessel or elsewhere) May 2013 Slide 9

17 Skimmers A device that removes oil from the surface of water Source: Cedre May 2013 Slide 17

18 Skimmers Skimmer performance is affected by: Oil type Light Heavy Viscosity Pumpability (resistance to flow) May 2013 Slide 18

19 Skimmers Skimmer performance is affected by: Winds, waves and currents Air and water temperatures Presence of debris Encounter Rate Source: Cedre May 2013 Slide 19

20 Weir Skimmers Stationary or advancing systems For removal of heavy or light oils May 2013 Slide 20

21 Oleophilic Skimmers Rely on adhesion of oil to skimming surfaces Surfaces rotate through the oil/water interface Oil is removed with scrapers Product is collected in a sump and pumped away May 2013 Slide 21

22 Annual Water Injection Injects a ring of water on the outside of the hose that lubricates the oil as it pass through the hose. This dramatically reduces the pumping pressures allowing pumping of heavier oil more efficiently. May 2013 Slide 22
