Shipping density study / Captain George A. Veres, marine economist.: En40-991/1977E-PDF

"The Department of Fisheries and Environment has commissioned a study aimed to evaluate, inter-alia, the relative navigational risks that would be present if an oil-port were to be established at one of eight alternate port-sites on the British Columbia coast or at one of three alternate port sites in the Northern Puget Sound area. This study does not deal with all components of the navigational risks. It is limited to an assessment of the current and projected future traffic densities along the shipping lanes leading to the alternate ports under consideration, with the principal objective of developing a shipping density index for individual route segments. Such index is intended to be incorporated into an overall navigational risk index, which would include meteorological, oceanographical and other navigational risk components"--Objectives, page 2.
