Ports and Waterways Safety Assessment Workshop Report for Aleutian Islands
Abstract
Risk identification and mitigation are and have been ongoing activities within the Aleutian Islands area. In support of that overall safety improvement activity, a formal Ports and Waterways Safety Assessment (PAWSA) for the Aleutian Islands was conducted in Anchorage, Alaska on 24 - 25 July 2006, sponsored jointly by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. The workshop was attended by 20 participants representing waterway users, regulatory authorities, and stakeholders (i.e., organizations with an interest in the safe and efficient use of the Aleutian Islands for commercial and recreational purposes). A Waterway Risk Model, incorporating 24 risk factors associated with both the causes and the effects of waterway casualties, was used throughout the workshop to guide discussions and numerical assessments. That model was originally conceived by a United States Dialog Group on National Needs for Vessel Traffic Services and has been refined based on experience gained during 38 previously held PAWSA workshops.
