4 1 Executive Summary Annual Marine Safety Report The Port Marine Safety Code (PMSC) applies to all harbour authorities in the UK that have statutory powers and duties. The Code is primarily intended for the duty holder. For Poole Harbour this means members of the Harbour Board, both individually and severally, who are directly accountable for marine safety within Poole Harbour Commissioners area of jurisdiction. Within the Code harbour authorities must produce a Navigational Safety Management Plan (NSMP) with associated marine Safety Management System (SMS) that can be measured against the Code. The SMS must have a regular and systematic review of performance and this annual report goes some way to achieving this by informing the Board of the work that has been undertaken in the Harbour Master s Department during the reporting period, with particular emphasis on navigational safety. The report will: Confirm PHC continued compliance with the Port Marine Safety Code Confirm the continued effectiveness of the NSMP and SMS Summarise the activity of PHC vessels Provide statistical information on harbour vessel activity Consider accident and incident trends Identify and summarise improvement Consider Key Performance Indicators Update on previous targets Set targets for next period Advise on audits and review Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 4 April 2016 to March 2017

5 2 Safety Management System The Safety Management System (SMS) aims to confirm the policies and procedures of Poole Harbour Commissioners within the structure of an integrated Navigational Safety Management Plan (NSMP). The SMS has been applied in accordance with the Port Marine Safety Code (PMSC), the standards as published in the Plan, emergency plans, risk assessments and the Guide to Good Practice (GtGP). The SMS is a series of dynamic documents that are sourced and updated regularly to minimise the risk of accidents and incidents in Poole Harbour to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). The PMSC and GtGP were last updated in 2016 and all Commissioners, as Duty Holders of the Port Marine Safety Code, have signed that they have read and understood the updated version and as a Duty Holder will comply with the requirements of the Code. The Safety Management System continues to be dynamic and is regularly updated and improved with the aim of maintaining and if required, improving navigational safety in Poole Harbour. Table FF on page 43 gives a summary of the main Safety Management System improvements. 3 PHC Vessel Activity Herbert Ballam Formal risk assessment highlighted the need for Poole Harbour Commissioners to provide a 24/7 towage service to assist with berthing operations at the Port of Poole. The Herbert Ballam is the Poole Harbour Commissioners port tug operating to the MCA Code of Practice for Small Commercial Vessels. This important asset provides mitigation against vessel and berth damage and reduces the consequences of vessel breakdowns, groundings and inclement weather. The Herbert Ballam is also a certified pilot boat and in 2012 the vessel underwent a 15 year survey. The vessel is also occasionally used for the following: Aids to Navigation maintenance Work platform Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 5 April 2016 to March 2017

6 C H Horn Annual Marine Safety Report This bottom door dredger is primarily required to maintain depths at the operating quays, two PHC marinas and the fisherman s dock. This vessel underwent a major refit in 2012 which included installing a new engine, propulsion unit and spud legs. A new wheelhouse was also fitted. The vessel operates under the MCA Code of Practice for Small Commercial Vessels. Other duties for this vessel include: Aids to Navigation maintenance Mooring maintenance Wreck clearance Contract dredging Sediment management Refuelling Scour management Work platform Launch & Recovery Rough Ryder This versatile workboat vessel is used on a regular basis, undertaking any task within her capability. This vessel operates under the MCA Code for Small Commercial Vessels. Tasks include: Aids to Navigation maintenance Moorings maintenance Pollution response Light towage Survey work Work platform DFRS transportation Dorset Police transportation Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 6 April 2016 to March 2017

7 Barracuda This vessel is one of two pilot vessels operated by PHC as the Competent Harbour Authority for pilotage as per the 1987 Pilotage Act. The vessel was purchased in 2016 as part of the PHC vessel replacement programme. She is coded under the MCA pilot boat certificate which is due for renewal in The vessel had an out-of-water intermediate survey in January Apart from pilotage, the vessel is tasked with: Harbour Patrol work Escort vessel duties Vanguard This is the other vessel used to provide a pilotage service within the Competent Harbour Authority pilotage district and in accordance to PHC Pilotage Directions. This vessel is also coded and successfully acquired her renewal pilot boat certificate in Her next renewal will be later in The vessel underwent an intermediate, out of water, survey in March Due to her design she doubles as a very effective patrol and rapid response vessel and as such it is the intention to keep her in her present more visible colours. Her other tasks include: Escort vessel Pollution response Personnel transfer DFRS Transportation Dorset Police transportation Emergency response VIP events Vanguard and Barracuda are certified to carry 6 persons whilst on pilotage duties and 12 persons at all other times. Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 7 April 2016 to March 2017

8 Vigilant This vessel is the primary patrol vessel for Poole Harbour Commissioners. Her main function is to provide education and support on the water whilst acting as a deterrent against byelaw infringement. In late 2012, Poole Harbour Commissioners, signed a Service Level Agreement with Dorset Police to combine patrols in Poole Harbour using this vessel. A similar agreement with Southern Inshore Fisheries Authority (SIFCA) was also signed in This vessel is also tasked with: Escorting duties Byelaw Enforcement Emergency Response Vixen This vessel is an Atlantic 75 (ex RNLI Inshore lifeboat) primarily used for patrol work, providing a fast situation response and interception capability, especially in the shallower parts of the harbour and due to low air draft can access the Backwater Channel at all states of tide with bridges down. This vessel is also tasked with: Emergency Response Safety Boat Work Pollution Response Survey Work Byelaw Enforcement Moorings Inspection Work DFRS Transportation Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 8 April 2016 to March 2017

9 Viper This Personal Watercraft (PW) is very effective resource for PW Byelaw enforcement and is normally only used during the busy season from Easter through to the end of September but can be made available throughout the year. The vessel is also useful as a first responder to any reported incident. Sir William This vessel is the hydrographic survey vessel used by Poole Harbour Commissioners to supply the Harbour Master s department and the UK Hydrographic Office with data throughout the year. This data is used to inform masters, pilots and Harbour Control of the latest known depths especially in the main shipping channels. The UKHO update Admiralty charts based on this supplied information. Table U on page 31 shows survey progress at the end of March Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 9 April 2016 to March 2017

10 4 Harbour Vessels Activity Annual Marine Safety Report A Recreational Survey is normally undertaken annually. Vessels are normally recorded from two positions in the Harbour over a 31 day period during the summer. The survey provides a snapshot of vessel activity. Surveys are undertaken from 0900 hours to 1630 hours, using the same pattern of days each year (3 Mondays, 3 Tuesdays, 4 Wednesdays, 4 Thursdays, 5 Fridays, 7 Saturdays and 5 Sundays). The 2016 survey started on Saturday 18 th June and ended on the Bank Holiday Monday, 29 th August.

12 C Poole Bridges Vessel Activity Annual Marine Safety Report Number of Vessels Number of Lifts (PB) Number of Lifts (TS) The number of vessels transiting Poole Bridges (high and low air draft) has decreased by around 13%. This in turn will likely have decreased the number of times a 3-lift sequence was necessary thereby decreasing the number of required individual lifts. It should be noted that from September 2016 until end of March 2017 Poole Bridge was out of commission with a consequent effect on the statistics. Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 12 April 2016 to March 2017

13 D Poole Bridges Peak Activity Annual Marine Safety Report Number of Vessels Max lifts in day Max vls in day Max in Basin By formal risk assessment, prior to the Twin Sails bridge opening on the 4 th April 2012, the maximum number of vessels permitted in the holding basin in perfect conditions was deemed to be 60. The highest recorded figure since opening was 46 in The busiest lift includes low air draft vessels passing through as directed by the Bridges Operator The maximum of 41 lifts in a single day The maximum number of 39 vessels in the basin between the bridges The maximum number of 466 vessel movements in a single day. There were 18,983 vessel movements through both bridges during the reporting period. In accordance with the Borough of Poole (Poole Harbour Opening Bridges) Order 2006, the harbour master May at any time instruct the Council to open the bridges in stress of weather conditions, or in an emergency, or if in the reasonable opinion of the harbour master the opening of the bridges is required to preserve safe navigation within the Back Water Channel.

14 5 Accidents and Near Miss Incidents Marine Accidents, which include near miss incidents, are defined in The Merchant Shipping (Accident Reporting and Investigation) Regulations A Near Miss Marine Incident is defined as an event or sequence of events which has occurred directly in connection with the operation of a vessel that endangered, or if not corrected would endanger the safety of a vessel, its occupants or any other person or the environment. E Total Reported Accidents and Near Miss Incidents Accident Incident Notes 4 of the 55 reported Accidents involved commercial shipping (Chart G, page 18) 12 of the 56 reported Near Miss Incidents involved commercial shipping (Chart H, page 19) 28 of the 56 reported Near Miss Incidents were legislation infringements (Chart L, page 23) Number of reported Near Miss Incidents decreased by 43% Number of reported Accidents increased by 2% Number of reported byelaw infringements decreased by 55% Average reported Near Miss Incidents over 5 years is 77 Average reported Accidents over 5 years is 42 Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 14 April 2016 to March 2017

15 F Breakdown of Reported Accidents Accidents Collision Grounding Contact Fire/Flood Oil Pollution Person Overboard Machinery Capsize/sink The above table provides a breakdown of the 55 reported accidents. The 18 persons overboard are not included in the 55 but were rescued following the 14 capsize/sink accidents. Also, the 55 does not include near miss incidents such as close quarter situations, unmanned vessels breaking free from mooring and drifting or byelaw infringements. For a breakdown of near miss incidents by vessel type see Chart H, page 19. Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 15 April 2016 to March 2017

16 Collision There were 10 reported collisions none of which resulted in any injury. Collision accidents have increased from 6 to Between Yacht and berthed local passenger vessel Between yacht and berthed local passenger vessel Between yacht and moored yacht Between small hired leisure boat and local passenger vessel Between fishing vessel and dinghy Between local passenger vessel and leisure motor boat Between yacht and moored yacht Between yacht and moored yacht Between local passenger vessel and yacht Between workboat and ship Grounding Every year there are a number of groundings due to vessels breaking free from moorings and drifting before running aground. These have been recorded as near miss incidents (chart H, page 19). Vessels that have gone aground whilst manned have been recorded as accidents. There were 9 accidental groundings, an increase of 2 from previous annual report Yacht aground Green Island Fishing vessel aground Brownsea Island Yacht aground Oyster Bank Yacht aground Middle Mud Hired boat aground Green Island Yacht aground East Looe Channel Yacht aground West of Ramshorn Lake Motor boat leisure aground near Salterns Marina Hired boat aground Holes Bay Contact Reported contacts have decreased from 7 to 4 since the last annual report Ferry has heavy contact with quay fender Yacht contact with underwater object Motor boat contact with Twin Sails Bridge Ship contact with Oyster Bank Beacon Fire/Flood There was one reported flooding and one reported fire Barge flooding Yacht on fire Oil Pollution There were 6 reports of oil pollution in the harbour with 2 being non-attributable. All were assessed and the necessary course of action and response agreed. Four incidents were attributable and were reported as soon as possible. Following assessment a Tier 1 response by PHC was required for the fishing vessel. Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 16 April 2016 to March 2017

17 Minor - Motor vehicle in water Minor Fishermans Dock (non attributable) Minor Safety boat between bridges Minor - Town Quay (non attributable) Minor Fishing vessel Minor Motor boat Mechanical Failure Breakdowns can potentially have serious consequences when it results in a loss of control of navigation. Mechanical breakdowns have decreased from 15 to Yacht in Holes Bay PW (jetski) SW of Brownsea Island Motor boat in Swash Channel Motor boat near Aunt Betty buoy Motor Yacht in Swash Channel Rib off Pottery Pier Motor boat near No.12 buoy Motor boat in Middle Ship Channel Ferry adjacent to berth Workboat in Little Channel Capsize / Sink / List Due to the number of yacht and dinghy racing events it is likely there are a number of capsize situations, with persons in the water, that go unreported. These incidents are dealt with efficiently by the trained safety boat crews that volunteer to assist in risk mitigation during the events or indeed by the crew of the capsized vessel as part of their training. It is a regular occurrence and considered part of the sport controlled by risk mitigation. The accidents reported are those that involved a rescue or could have led to a secondary accident/near miss incident. There were 3 sinking accidents and 11 capsize accidents reported. A total of 18 persons were rescued by PHC or RNLI, as a result of the 11 capsize accidents Motor boat sinking Motor boat capsized on mooring Dinghy capsized (2 POB rescued) Kayak capsized (POB rescued) Canoe capsized (POB rescued) Dinghy capsized (2 POB rescued) Trimaran capsized (POB rescued) Dinghy capsized (3 POB rescued) Dinghy capsized (2 POB rescued) Dinghy capsized (2 POB rescued) Yacht capsized (2 POB rescused) Motor boat sinking Fishing vessel sinking Dinghy capsized (2 POB rescued) Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 17 April 2016 to March 2017

18 G Reported Accidents involving Commercial Shipping Accidents Collision Grounding 1 Contact Fire/Flood 2 Pollution 1 Person Overboard Machinery Capsize/sink There were 4 reported accidents involving commercial shipping with the average being 4 over the 5 year period shown above. None of the accidents resulted in any injuries Contact Ship heavy contact with fender Mechanical failure Ship Collision Ship and workboat Contact Ship heavy contact with beacon.

19 H Breakdown of Reported Near Miss Incidents The near miss incidents are broken down into vessel type as per the Port Skills & Safety reporting format prepared from the The Merchant Shipping (Accident Reporting and Investigation) Regulations Near Miss Incidents Shipping Fishing Passenger Workboat Leisure Tug Military 3 Near Miss Incidents Reporting of all Near Miss Incidents is encouraged at harbour user liaison meetings, as this provides a good trend indicator giving valuable input to the risk assessment review process. Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 19 April 2016 to March 2017

20 Of the 56 near miss incidents, 13 involved shipping although only 3 were directly attributed to ships: Ship underway without clearance Ship departure from Pilotage Plan in restricted visibility Ship contravening Pilotage Directions Ten were due to contravention of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (as amended) Rule 9 (Narrow Channels) of which 3 involved yacht or dinghy racing SUP impedes ship Kayak impedes cruise ship Yacht impedes ship Racing dinghy impedes ship Racing dinghies impede ship Yacht impedes ship Motor boat impedes ship Rowing boat impedes ship Fishing vessel impedes ship Racing yachts impede ship Yacht/Dinghy Racing in the harbour is closely monitored and a strict set of procedures is in force for all those concerned including racing participants, race officers, escort vessel and safety boat crew, harbour patrol officers, pilots and masters. This agreed Yacht Racing Criteria has improved the safety of racing competitors in the harbour and has seen reported incidents drop from 15 in 2006 to 3 in this reporting period. Procedure, monitoring and liaison continues to reduce the risk of an accident to as low as reasonably practicable. Poole Bridges Since the Poole Bridges Byelaw came into force, the number of traffic light infringements have reduced from 22 in 2011 to 0 during this reporting period. Speeding / Wash Accounted for 26 of the 56 near miss incidents which is a 50% decrease on the previous 12 months. A Local Notice to Mariners (LNTM) is promulgated every year prior to the relaxation of the speed limit and again before the relaxation is lifted. The LNTM explains clearly when and where the speed limit is relaxed and again when it is lifted. The LNTM also explains why the speed limit has to be exercised. Other The remaining Near Miss Incidents were predominantly unmanned vessels adrift in the harbour having come free from their mooring.

This, along with the reduction in reported offences, could suggest that behaviour in the harbour is improving. Within the Port Marine Safety Code (PMSC) Harbour Authorities are well advised to secure powers of General Direction, to support the effective management of vessels in their harbour waters. Poole Harbour Commissioners secured these powers in One General Direction, permitting kite surfing, is currently in force with a second, regarding a small commercial craft registry, currently under review.

The offenders of some of the incidents above were unfortunately not identified. During the period 1 st April 2016 to 31 st March 2017 there were 26 recorded Byelaw infringements resulting in 1 prosecution, 16 warning letters and 4 verbal warnings with 5 not identified. This is a 55% reduction in reported infringements and a 20% reduction in warning letters since the last reporting period. Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 23 April 2016 to March 2017

Three other legislation infringements were: Ship departure from Pilotage Plan in restricted visibility Ship contravening Pilotage Directions Contravention of International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 24 April 2016 to March 2017

25 7 Personnel Safety Annual Marine Safety Report N Personnel Safety Record (Harbour Master Department) RIDDOR Reportable Non reportable Near Miss There were no non-reportable or reportable accidents under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR). One accident is considered one too many and therefore all Harbour Department employees are regularly advised to keep concentration levels high and never to be complacent. Safety tool box talks are required and are regularly carried out and documented. Safety days were introduced in April 2012 to supplement routine checks and drills to ensure full participation within the department. O Personnel Accident/Near Miss Summary Accident / Detail Near Miss April Near Miss Employee driving car against flow of traffic while ferry being loaded. Action Spoken to and advised of correct way of getting to link span 3 when the area is busy. Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 25 April 2016 to March 2017

26 Safety Days Annual Marine Safety Report One half day per month per team (subject to pilotage, towage and emergencies) is scheduled by the Duty Harbour Master to concentrate solely on all our safety responsibilities, ensuring they are addressed over a 12 month period. Department Safety Representatives ensure that these important safety days do not lapse. Safety days include: Man Overboard Drills. Fire drills on vessels and at work places. LSA & FFE checks on vessels and at work places. Review of COSSH Assessments. Review of Risk Assessments. Review of training requirements. Health & Safety Inspection. Outstanding items on Safety Inspection Action Plan. Safety Equipment Checks. Equipment Checks. Oil spill Response Equipment Checks. General Housekeeping. Other. All HM Department staff must contribute to the Safety Days. All relevant paperwork is updated as a formal record with a brief summary list ed to the Harbour Master which is kept in the SMS electronic file. The Safety Days do not exonerate any employee from their normal safety checks and routines. 8 Notices & Memos All Harbour Masters memos are promulgated and displayed on relevant notice boards. They form part of SMS operating procedures and are included in operation manuals as part of any review process. Safety Notices are generally directed at harbour users and are promulgated using LNTM, social media networking and mail. Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 26 April 2016 to March 2017

27 P Harbour Master Safety Notices and Memos Year Month Notice / Memo Title 2016 June Memo Procedure relating to suspension/revocation of pilotage authorisations Sept Memo Vessel clearance to enter when authorised pilot required Sept Memo Pilot boat not to be used for towing operations during acts of pilotage There were a total of 35 Local Notices to Mariners published during the period which are made available to the public via the PHC website and in hard copy at PHC reception. The notices are also ed to all relevant stakeholders and the distribution list is added to by request. 9 Training Training is an integral part of any Safety Management System to ensure that competence levels are kept to the required standard with the overall aim of reducing risk to personnel, navigational safety and the marine environment.

28 A continued programme of cross training and familiarisation exists for all tasks required to carry out the Harbour Master Departments overall function. As a result the department has continued to be more flexible with all employees able to multi-role in their abilities through gained competence and experience. 10 Aids to Navigation Poole Harbour Commissioners are the Local Lighthouse Authority (LLA) for Poole Harbour and have the power to maintain the marking or lighting within the harbour. The General Lighthouse Authority (GLA) has a duty to inspect all navigation marks under the management of the LLA (Section 201 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995). Trinity House, the General Lighthouse Authority, considers the availability of lights as a measurement of good management. The numbers of light defects during any year are not necessarily of concern unless due to lack of maintenance which is not the case. What would be of concern is the time taken to address a defect which could affect the safety of navigation. The three year availability average can be seen on the KPI table (Table DD, page 41). R Aids to Navigation Defects Defects Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 28 April 2016 to March 2017

29 S Breakdown of Aids to Navigation Defects Lights Stakes Off Stn 1 4 Buoy damage 1 4 Aids to Navigation deficiencies are 54% up on last year which can be seen from the tables above. A large proportion of the light deficiencies are due to reduced solar light in the winter months causing lights to be diminished or extinguished. The main increase is due to stake deficiencies which are up by 68% on last year. This is likely due to an improved inspection routine where stakes leaning over get recorded as a defect. Over a period of time the many stakes around the harbour, marking the many minor channels, get worn or get knocked over. They are repositioned or replaced at the earliest opportunity following a reported defect. Occasionally buoys get damaged by vessels or move off station due to strong weather/tidal conditions. Aids to Navigation are routinely serviced on a rotational basis, some more frequently than others. The table below shows the AtoN servicing for the reporting period.

32 All surveys have been completed in accordance with a planned programme. The plan as of March 2017 shows the timescale, frequency and priority. All data is sent to the Admiralty Hydrographic Office for inclusion in local charts. 12 Dredging & Disposal In line with the Poole Harbour Maintenance Dredging Protocol and statutory requirements, the Commissioners continue to monitor the entire dredging and disposal operation within the Harbour. Disposal at Brownsea Roads: Marinas throughout the Harbour continued to make use of PHC Brownsea Roads disposal site, thus retaining silt within the Harbour in line with the Sediment Management Plan. During the course of the year 14,000m 3 of silt was trickle discharged over the Brownsea Roads site, including 2,200m 3 dredged by CH Horn from Poole Quay Boat Haven. Disposal to Swanage: To begin the construction of South Quay, PHC contractor Rohde Nielsen dredged the quay footprint, and 45,500m 3 of material was disposed at Swanage. Beneficial Use/Reclaim: During November 2016 the approach channels were dredged and 110,000m 3 of material was used to form a construction bund to commence piling for the South Quay wall line. In line with the Poole Harbour Maintenance Dredging Protocol and statutory requirements, the Commissioners continue to monitor the entire dredging and disposal operation within the Harbour. The CH Horn also maintains the depths at all the quays. Depending on spoil type, it is disposed at Swanage, Brownsea Roads or off Ro-Ro berths.

34 13 Pilotage Annual Marine Safety Report Pilotage is compulsory for vessels over 50 metres in length plus two additional categories; the number of pilots is sufficient to safely undertake pilotage at the current volume of traffic. Four PHC pilots are also Assistant Harbour Masters and have additional non-piloting management roles including Moorings, Aids to Navigation, Pilotage Service and Safety Management System. Two selfemployed pilots are contracted to cover holidays and sickness. W Pilotage Statistics Shipping Movements Compulsory Pilotage PHC Piloted Movements PEC Movements After a steady decline in the number of commercial ship movements since 2011, this reporting period has seen an increase. This has also been the case for vessels subject to compulsory pilotage and PHC piloted movements. Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 34 April 2016 to March 2017

35 This was due to maintaining existing trade and having the additional freight operation to Spain. Shipping movements have increased by 12% Vessels subject to compulsory pilotage have increased by 16% for the second year running. PHC piloted vessels have increased by 60% PEC movements have decreased by 2% 14 Harbour Control (VTS) Harbour Control (VTS) works efficiently to allow identification and monitoring of vessels, strategic planning of vessel movements and to provide navigational information and assistance. The Harbour Control Officer (HCO) will initiate the port s emergency response and will assist in the prevention of pollution and co-ordination of a pollution response. The efficiency of the HCO depends on the reliability and continuity of communications and monitoring equipment to provide accurate and unambiguous information. This year Harbour Control underwent a refurbishment to ensure the continued efficiency of available resources. The quality of accident-prevention measures depends on the HCO detecting a developing dangerous situation and on the ability to give timely warning of such dangers. Throughout the year Harbour Control has continued to operate a Vessel Traffic Service by efficiently managing marine traffic to help mitigate any potential risk to safety of life at sea, safety of navigation, the marine environment and maritime security. Harbour Control is considered, through risk assessment, to be a vital 24/7 information service for all marine activities in the Harbour. The vast majority of incidents and complaints are reported direct to Harbour Control and entered into the incident log. This in turn is interrogated to identify trends and forms part of the monthly and Annual Marine Safety Reports. The equipment available to the Harbour Control Officer has been proved effective for monitoring commercial shipping movements, other marine activities and providing timely accurate information to all harbour users. Resources include Radar, AIS, CCTV, VHF, tidal and weather inputs and 3D vessel monitoring equipment. These resources available to the Harbour Control Officer help to maintain safety of persons and property and protect the environment in Poole Harbour. All of this equipment has proved very useful during incident investigation. The Harbour Control (VTS) designation of Information Service (INS) was reviewed and it was agreed by Poole Harbour Commissioners to add Traffic Organisation Service (TOS). This was sanctioned by the MCA and implemented on the 9 th April During the reporting period the layout of Harbour Control was changed following an ergonomics review resulting from a marine incident investigation.

36 15 Risk Assessment Annual Marine Safety Report The Safety Management System is a result of formal risk assessment of all marine activities in the harbour. Risk assessment forms a major part of the Navigational Safety Management System. Risk assessments are also carried out for PHC waterborne tasks and for land based personnel safety. All risk assessments and control measures are reviewed on an annual basis or if considered necessary, following an incident.

37 16 Document Review Annual Marine Safety Report Documents and procedures are the basis of a good Safety Management System and in order for the system to be dynamic and current, it is essential that the documents and procedures are being referenced and followed are that there is a regular review process. The table below shows the Safety Management System documents have been reviewed during the reporting period.

This compliance exercise is required every 3 years. The MCA also carried out a PMSC Health check in March PHC require a practical, pragmatic, and cost effective Designated Person (DP) in order to provide independent assurance directly to the Duty Holder (Board members individually and collectively). In meeting this obligation under the Port Marine Safety Code, the PHC Board has appointed an independent Designated Person, who maintains a right of direct access to the Board. The main role of the Designated Person is to: Determine through assessment and audit that PHC has an effective and appropriate Navigational Safety Management System. Provide the PHC Board with independent and professional advice regarding PHC overall compliance with the requirements of the Port Marine Safety Code. Designated Person Audits Audits were completed by the Designated Person on the 30 th June 2016 and 20 th March 2017 during the reporting period with quarterly audits completed internally. The Designated Person attended the 28 th October 2016 Board meeting and reported to the Board that PHC continues to comply fully with the PMSC. Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 38 April 2016 to March 2017

39 Trinity House Audit The annual inspection of Aids to Navigation was carried out by Trinity House on the 12 th April They were found to be in good and efficient order with no non conformities or PIN s (Potential Improvements notices) issued. Aids to Navigation average availability of lights continues to be above the required Trinity House minimum standard. The Aids to Navigation lights availability is the average percentage of all lights over a 3 year period, the lowest being 98.35% and the highest being 100% for individual lights. Trinity House requires a minimum standard of 97% to 99% depending on category of light which is based on location. For the period 1 st April 2016 to 31 st March 2017 the overall average availability across all categories of lights is 99.96% Harbour Master - Annual Marine Safety Report 39 April 2016 to March 2017

40 19 Emergency Exercises Annual Marine Safety Report Training is about raising the awareness of all staff about what emergencies they may face and giving them confidence in Poole Harbour Commissioners procedures and their ability to carry them out successfully. It is also about developing competencies and skill-sets so that staff can fulfil key roles. There are various emergency exercises that take place throughout the year including Fire, Security, Lone Worker, Abandon Ship and Man Overboard. Some emergency training is required through legislation and one such area is Oil Pollution Preparedness. This involves refresher training (Table Q, page 27) and conducting scenario exercises (Table CC, page 40). The Oil Pollution Contingency Plan was approved by the MCA on the 27 th June 2016 and is valid until the 26 th June It is a requirement to plan and execute a major oil pollution exercise every three years. The latest exercise was conducted on the 7 th October 2014 with the next one scheduled for October CC Summary of Emergency Oil Pollution Response Exercises Date Exercise 5 th May 2016 Table Top Exercise Poole Harbour Boat Show 2 nd July 2016 Equipment Deployment Perenco Base 8 th July 2016 Site Visit Perenco Base 15 th July 2016 Site Visit Furzey Island 19 th July 2016 Site Visit Furzey Island 16 th September 2016 Notification Exercise (Call out procedure) 15 th November 2016 Equipment Deployment Perenco Base 20 th February 2017 Notification Exercise (Call out procedure) 3 rd March 2017 Equipment Deployment Perenco Base 3 rd March 2017 Site Visit Perenco Base Poole Harbour Commissioners and Perenco UK have an agreement in place which requires trained personnel from the harbour masters department to respond to any pollution incident in Poole Harbour, associated with Perenco Uk.
