Annex A - NMAB requested icebreaker deployment / Coast Guard planned deployment 2017 - 2022

Winter operations

The CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent will be utilized when a medium or heavy icebreaker is not available for winter icebreaking operations. The CCGS Amundsen will be used in the winter season for icebreaking, and will spend the summer season in the Arctic to support science projects. Icebreakers may be replaced from time to time with vessels of higher or lower capability, subject to the operational requirements and resource availability of the Coast Guard. All vessels will be multi-tasked to SAR or Aids to Navigation, as much as possible, to optimize the effectiveness of the fleet.

Arctic operations

The following dates do not include the mobilization period for the Arctic but do include transit time. The CCGS Amundsen is dedicated to Arctic Science and is not used for icebreaking operations during the summer, except in emergency situations. The CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent is dedicated to support science projects or other Government departments during the first part of the Arctic season.

General notes

Asset Availability:

• Assets will be adjusted based on conditions, while supporting industry.
• All vessel availability is dependent on Coast Guard priorities.
• Dates of availability may contain operational gaps or overlaps.
• Required maintenance and refit, as per the Vessel Maintenance Protocol, will determine availability and will vary from year to year.
• Coast Guard must take into account other requests from Other Government Departments or users of vessel services.
• Due to the age of the Fleet vessels, Coast Guard reserves the right to move vessels around as required.
• Transit time to and from the Arctic is included.
• Mobilization and de-mobilization is not included in the availability.
• Total requirements for all clients will drive Coast Guard multi-tasking abilities.

Interaction with industry:

• Coast Guard will share fleet plan for winter season when available
• Daily teleconferencing will occur with industry during the season
• Response times will be measured and reported to industry
• The Arctic and Newfoundland & Labrador Regional Marine Advisory Boards did not specify exact dates for their industry requirements. The Coast Guard Icebreaking Program has determined the user requirement dates for both regional MABs based on previous discussions with industry members.

Other:

• The Oceans Protection Plan includes the extension of the shoulder season in the Arctic to be implemented over the next 5 years based on the fleet availability but are not reflected below.

Annex B: List of 玩运彩即时比分 Icebreakers

The following table is a list of icebreakers and air cushion vehicles that may be utilized for icebreaking operations. These vessels are also used to support other Coast Guard and DFO programs and undergo regular maintenance periods, and are, therefore, not always available.

At this time, with the exception of the new polar icebreaker CCGS John G. Diefenbaker, no new building plans have been approved for the replacement of these icebreakers.

Annex C: St. Lawrence/Gulf Marine Industry Comments and Recommendations on and Icebreaker Fleet Renewal Plan

The following information is a summary from the St. Lawrence/Gulf Marine Industry Comments and Recommendations on an Icebreaker Fleet Renewal Plan, received by the Commissioner of the 玩运彩即时比分 in November 2016. The Fleet Renewal Plan project office is taking this information into consideration. Additionally, a Request for Information (RFI) was issued in November, 2016, seeking information, ideas and availability of resources from industry related to gaps anticipated in icebreaking services due to the aging fleet. Coast Guard is considering the information gathered from the RFI.

Comments from Industry regarding Fleet Renewal

The Canadian marine industry has reiterated the urgent need to equip the Coast Guard with new icebreakers due to the age and state of the current fleet. The National Shipbuilding Strategy and the 玩运彩即时比分 Fleet Renewal Plan does not provide proper equipment for the Coast Guard to respond to the needs of the marine industry.

Issues:

1. Climate: Coast Guard planning should take into consideration worst case scenario, historical ice information and climate change.
2. Shipping traffic and Economics:
   1. Shipping traffic is stable in the St. Lawrence/Gulf and Great Lakes, reduced in New Brunswick and parts of Newfoundland, but size of vessels is increasing, The number of Coast Guard vessel escorts is highest in the St. Lawrence/Gulf and Saguenay area rather than Atlantic. Ferries are essential for remote areas depending on shipping to get supplies. Traffic is increasing in the Arctic, including tourism activities and is spread over a large area. One or two icebreaking units cannot service the Arctic.
   2. Economy: Both Ontario and Quebec importers/exporters choose to transit their annual $41 billion through the Port of Montreal for European trade. All industries have reduced inventory levels to remain competitive so are more dependent on the shipping industry for stable supplies. International trade performance and transport system fluidity go hand in hand.
3. Equipement:
   1. Vessels: Coast Guard鈥檚 two T1300 and four T1200s are needed to guarantee sustainability and reliability of the shipping lanes essential to maintain trade, ferries and supplies to remote communities. Other assets are also not reliable due to age and planned repairs/refits. The planned polar ice breaker has limited use in the St. Lawrence because of its size and no use on the Great Lakes. It will only be used in the Arctic, but not during the winter months. It does not alleviate the issue of the aging T1200 and T1300s.
   2. Other: Radarsat is effective and dependable for defining ice conditions. Helicopters are required for surveillance of restricted and large areas and were upgraded. AIS coverage must include all the Gulf and coastal areas.
4. Operations:
   1. Unit Use: T1200 is most versatile and new vessels should be more powerful versions of this design. T1300 is not necessary for icebreaking services. T1100s have limited use for icebreaking but sometimes need the T1200 to assist. T1100 and T1050s are narrower so only efficient to assist ferries and fishing boats but not commercial escort. Building vessels for multitasking can weaken the effectiveness for the vessel to do anything well.
   2. Proposed Icebreaker Distribution:
      • Great Lakes
        • No change in Great Lakes. Service remains as two Coast Guard vessels (one T1100 plus one T1050) in addition to regular US icebreakers.
      • St. Lawrence (River and Gulf)/Saguenay
        • Shift three vessels from Atlantic (4 ferry services and 10% of traffic) to St. Lawrence River and Gulf (7 ferry services, remote communities and 90% of traffic) and avoid need for C&A to request assistance from Atlantic. Recommending two T1300, three T1200 and two T1100.
      • Atlantic
        • Reduce Atlantic to five icebreakers to serve Northeast coast of Newfoundland, Sydney, Prince Edward Island and the west coast of Newfoundland when required. The icebreakers would include one T1200, three T1100 and one T1050. Suggest, during winter months only, combining Halifax and St. John鈥檚 ice offices into one location in Sydney.
          1. Chaleur Bay - reduce commitment as historical data reflects requirements are less than commitments.
      • Arctic
        • Traffic is increasing, is spread over and includes commercial exporting and tourism activities in addition to resupply activities.
5. Governance: 鈥淭he government does not perceive the Coast Guard and icebreaking services as essential for maintaining shipping efficiency and, more broadly, transport network reliability.鈥� Industry is supportive of the Canada Transportation Act Review panel recommendation to the effect that the 玩运彩即时比分 should be under the portfolio of Transport Canada. Ice breakers should be used to break ice and not be multi-tasked. Replacement of the T1200s is necessary in the near future. Five scenarios are presented to replace the T1200s. All scenarios include the requirement for short- and medium-term chartering of icebreakers while awaiting procurement and repair/build of new units. A risk assessment of each scenario is included.
6. Conclusion:

   It is recommended

   • That the icebreaker fleet be renewed using classes equal or superior to the T1200 class.
   • That Coast Guard continue to operate the icebreaker fleet.
   • That it is critical that the Coast Guard charter an icebreaker temporarily to offset the shortage of units.
   • That new units should replace the T1200s as soon as possible and should be based on the T1200 proven design and perhaps enhanced to a T1300 level.
   • Choose a single shipbuilding site for gains in experience and lower costs.
   • Consider use of long-term chartering with an option to purchase for icebreaker renewal to reduce financing risks.
   • Consider use of foreign shipyard for building new T1200 considering Canadian shipyards鈥� restrictions of space and expertise, as well as higher costs. Stopping navigation would have much more adverse economic repercussions than the potential spinoffs generated by building these vessels in Canada.

Annex D: Historical Ice Coverage

The Canadian Ice Service (CIS) reports average ice coverage reflecting 30 years of data. Trends show a decline of ice coverage of 8% (Gulf) 鈥� 10% (East Newfoundland) per decade since 1979. However, there is still significant variability from year to year and between different areas. The maps found at the show for each week the distribution of the ice by using the median of ice concentration for each area, over the 30 year period.
