Good afternoon Brent

 

I refer to your email dated 4 June 2020, and copied below -

 

The most recent Picton ferry terminal development consultation newsletter
dated 27 May quotes the Port Marlborough CEO commenting that "We're
excited about the fact that the new ships will produce less wake and fewer
emissions than the current ships." With respect to the wake issue, how has
it been determined that the new vessels will produce less wake than the
current ships? Given that the new vessels are proposed to be twice the
size this would appear to present a significant design challenge. It would
also appear to be a significant risk to the project and the Marlborough
Sounds environment if the ability to complete three return trips per day
is in jeopardy. Are there plans to verify real-world wake generation from
these vessels? is ISO 31000 being employed to manage risk in this regard?
And can any documentation concerning this aspect of the vessel design and
performance please be made available?

 

We have interpreted your request to be specifically about the wake profile
of the new vessels, what risk mitigations are being employed, and for any
documentation we are able to release.

 

We will respond to your request as soon as we are able, and certainly
before 2 July 2020, which is the 20 days after the request was received.

 

Any questions, please get in touch

 

Kind regards

Dave

My apologies Brent - it appear I noted the due date down wrongly on our spreadsheet and had been working towards a later date.
I will have this to you shortly.
