    MARINE INFRASTRUCTURE AnD VESSELS


    Typical vessels used in Gladstone Harbour will be:  LNG carriers typically a double hull membrane carrier between 125,000m3 and 215,000m3; up to 300m long and 40m wide with a 12m draft  Fast Cats high speed people movers with a capacity of 200 250 people; up to four Fast Cats will be required during construction  ROPAX roll-on/roll-off ferry approximately 80m long with a capacity of 200 people and 60 vehicles  Barges require tugs to manoeuvre; typically 80m long and 20m wide with a capacity of 5,000 6,000m3. There will be a range of vessels used during the construction and operational phases of the project. During the construction phase, staff and equipment will be transferred by passenger transport vessels (eg Fast Cats) between the mainland and the passenger terminal located at Boatshed Point. The mainland launch site will be located at either Calliope River or the northern end of the Western Bay Dredging reclamation area. Vehicles will be transported to Curtis Island by suitable vehicle transportation vessels (eg ROPAX). Also located at Boatshed Point will be the Materials Ofoading Facility where equipment and large LNG plant modules (up to 2,500 tonne) will be ofoaded from cargo vessels. Barges of 5,000 to 6,000m3 capacity may be used to transport bulk equipment to the LNG Facility. During operation, Fast Cats will continue to service the Arrow LNG Plant. LNG carriers will berth at the LNG jetty located on Hamilton Point in North China Bay for loading.

    LNG JETTY SAFETY ZOnEs


    The establishment and enforcement of safety zones is important for protecting the safety of other harbour users. A xed safety zone of 250m will be maintained by tugs and marked by retractable buoys around docked LNG vessels to eliminate potential ignition sources and ensure the public is kept at a safe distance in the unlikely event of a leak or spill. The safety zone is complimented by gas detectors on the LNG jetty. With LNG loading lines and arms on the jetty there is potential for LNG to be present even when an LNG carrier is not in port. As such, the 250m safety zone remains in place at all times. Fixed safety zones will not impede the passage of recreational boats, including between South Passage Island and the terminal jetty on Curtis Island. The exclusion zones do not include the main channels. Recreational boaties need to be aware of tugs and LNG carriers when these vessles are operating in the swing basins, which are adjacent to the safety zone. LNG staff and contractors will not be allowed to crab or sh on the respective jetties or while on shift. As part of the EIS, a detailed examination of all potential impacts associated with shipping is being undertaken. This assessment will investigate issues ranging from the potential for introduction of exotic organisms from increased shipping rates, to the potential risk of spills and their management. To ensure these issues are addressed, Arrow is consulting with all potentially affected stakeholders.

    WHO Is ARROW EnERgY?


    Arrow is one of the largest integrated energy companies in Australia with gas producing projects in the Surat and Bowen Basins and interests in three gas red power stations. The company provides approximately 20 per cent of Queenslands gas and electricity needs. Arrow is expanding its exploration activities to also deliver a major CSG to LNG project to meet international demand for cleaner energy.

    ABOUT THE PROJECT


    Arrow Energy is planning the development of a liqueed natural gas (LNG) facility on Curtis Island, off Gladstone, which will play an important role in meeting growing world demand for cleaner burning fuels. The proposed Arrow LNG Plant will be supplied with coal seam gas (CSG) from Arrow reserves located in the Surat Basin in south east Queensland and the Bowen Basin in central Queensland as part of the broader Arrow LNG project. The Arrow LNG Plant has been declared a signicant project by the Queensland Government. This reects the complexity of Queensland and Commonwealth approvals required, the projects potential impacts, and the importance of the Gladstone region to national, state and local economies. The project involves:  construction of a gas pipeline from the mainland to Curtis Island  construction of a liquefaction facility where CSG will be converted to LNG and stored for shipment to growing LNG markets  construction of marine facilities, such as jetties, on the mainland  construction of jetties, ofoading facilities and an LNG carrier terminal on Curtis Island in the vicinity of North China Bay, Hamilton Point and Boatshed Point  potential localised dredging at marine facilities. The project is also supported by a dredging program, being managed by the Gladstone Ports Corporation (GPC), to extend shipping lanes to berth pockets and develop swing basins for LNG carriers to load and manoeuvre. The GPCs Western Basin Dredging Project has been granted separate Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) approval. The Arrow LNG Plant will produce up to 18 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG and includes the phased construction of up to four trains or processing plants on its Curtis Island site. Stage 1 includes the construction of two trains of around 4mtpa of LNG each on the Arrow site. Before the project can proceed, the Arrow LNG Plant must gain approval from the Queensland and Commonwealth Governments. To do this, an EIS is being prepared to examine the proposals potential impacts and proposed management measures to mitigate those impacts.

    LNG SHIPPING IN GLADSTONE HARBOUR


    It is estimated that when the Arrow LNG Plant reaches peak production there will be up to 240 vessels in Gladstone Harbour per year, or about four vessels per week. Arrow has a responsibility to maintain the exemplary safety record of LNG shipping and respects the activities of recreational boaties and shers already using the harbour. To minimise impact on other commercial and recreational vessels in the harbour from LNG shipping, Arrow will work closely with the Gladstone Ports Corporation (GPC) in the precise scheduling of visits. It is imperative that all necessary support services such as qualied local pilots, tug boat services and moving safety zones are planned well in advance to enable safe and efcient entry and exit from the harbour. This involves extensive planning with Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ), GPC and the other LNG proponents. Simulations and modelling have been completed to ensure the safe passage of LNG carriers from the outer harbour to the LNG jetty in North China Bay. Additionally a vessel tracking system will be installed in the harbour to track vessels greater than 12m in length. In addition to xed safety zones, moving safety zones will be enforced with a set minimum of 30 minute separation distance for ships entering and leaving port. This is based on the stopping distance of a typical LNG ship travelling at 12 knots. An LNG carrier entering and leaving the port will be escorted by two tugs with an additional two tugs on standby. All tugs have full reghting capabilities. Security is ensured through compliance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code. Further, Arrow is a member of the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) which has been formed to manage harbour safety during the busy construction phase of the respective LNG projects. The MSC is made up of MSQ, GPC and the LNG proponents. Protocols have been developed between all LNG proponents, MSQ and GPC to ensure safe passage of LNG carriers through Gladstone Harbour. These protocols will be reviewed periodically to ensure up to date information and experience can be included in the LNG protocols. For more information go to GPCs website: http://www.gpcl.com.au/
