What are safety and security zones?
Safety and security zones are put in effect when LNG vessels transit and dock in a harbor or inland waterway. The intent of the safety and security zones is to protect the LNG ships from collisions or sabotage. The establishment of project-related safety zones could directly impact the access and use patterns of the existing waterway; as such, these marine traffic “exclusions” or “restrictions” can become a concern for local fishermen and other waterway users. An additional concern is the potential for LNG ship damage to fishing equipment during the course of a ship’s transit through bay and river waters.
