7 Simon Gooder SW WAVE HUB ATBA

8 safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas SW Wave Hub proposed ATBA Busiest Day + 10nm radius

9 safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas SW Wave Hub proposed ATBA Why an ATBA? Organises traffic in area of offshore exploitation (GPSR para 1.2.4) Organises traffic in area of offshore exploitation (GPSR para 1.2.4) Proximity to limits of Territorial Sea Proximity to limits of Territorial Sea Proportionate response to the risk Proportionate response to the risk Improves the safety of navigation Improves the safety of navigation Longer term implications Longer term implications

10 safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas SW Wave Hub proposed ATBA It is considered that such an IMO adopted routeing measure will have minimal impact to shipping and ports. It is considered that such an IMO adopted routeing measure will have minimal impact to shipping and ports. It will enable mariners to make decisions earlier to avoid the area of potential risk thereby promoting marine and navigational safety. It will enable mariners to make decisions earlier to avoid the area of potential risk thereby promoting marine and navigational safety. It is offered that doing nothing is not an option and that by being proactive there is the opportunity to influence outcomes.

Sea lanes issue is evident, especially when viewed cumulatively. Risk seen as too high Risk seen as too high Move it anywhere away from shipping Move it anywhere away from shipping Preferably, to off Newquay. Preferably, to off Newquay.

Need to be pro-active rather than reactive. …………..now await their application.
