Anatec’s highly experienced team have carried out Port Safety assessments aligned with the Department for Transport (DfT) Port Marine Safety Code (PMSC) and associated Guide to Good Practice (GtGP) for shore-based developments within the UK. These adhere to the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Revised Guidelines for Formal Safety Assessment (FSA).

Our experience includes Taking Stock, Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, culminating in the development / update of a Safety Management System (SMS). We work together with operational marine personnel at the ports, as well as port users / stakeholders, to ensure that the safety systems developed meet the operational requirement whilst ensuring compliance with the relevant local and national guidance.

In addition, Anatec have carried out numerous risk assessment studies supporting licensing requirements in the planning and development of new projects, such as Marine Licence Applications, Harbour Revision Orders, Transport and Work Act, Development Consent Orders on proposed developments within ports such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), green Ammonia and CO₂, container terminals, wind farm construction/maintenance bases, and nuclear facilities. Our range of clients in this area includes ports, energy companies, engineering and environmental consultancies.

Anatec have been involved in some of the world’s largest infrastructure projects including Hinkley and Sizewell C. Our most recent works include Port Navigational Risk Assessments (NRA) and associated EIA Report Chapters for project in the Humber (Immingham Green Energy Terminal), Harwich (Bathside Bay), Aberdeen (Nigg Bay), Peterhead, Firth of Forth, and Tees .

Anatec has been providing Navigational (Safety) Risk Assessments since 2001 to support offshore  and  port developments including consenting, licensing and permitting applications. OurPrincipal Risk Analysts have been at the forefront of the marine hazard analysis and risk management field for the past 20-25 years.

Anatec has developed a robust and systematic approach for assessing the overall impact of proposed offshore and port developments based on the formal safety assessment process. This approach has been used to support applications for developments around the world including all parts of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe,  the United States, Asia and Australia. The process has been developed to be compliant with applicable national and international guidance using Anatec’s in-house expertise, data and modelling but also through a process of liaison with stakeholders, industry professionals and regulators.

The overall scope of the service Anatec offers includes an evaluation of the change in risk level that is likely to result from the installation or construction of a development and includes all types of vessels and activities as specified by the regulatory guidance, ensuring a comprehensive Navigational (Safety) Risk Assessment.

Anatec can undertake all elements of the process from support with site selection and constraints mapping, dedicated marine traffic surveys, mathematical modelling, hazard identification and review workshops (HAZID), cumulative assessments, and risk assessment to support Environmental Impact Assessments.
