Project: A2953 Client: East Anglia Offshore Wind Limited Title:
21 Emergency Response
304. This section summarises the existing emergency response resources in the region and the issues being considered as a gap analysis in relation to the design of the windfarm and the facilities to be provided by the developer.
305. East Anglia Offshore Wind Limited recognise that the proposed East Anglia THREE project, within their Round 3 allocated East Anglia Zone, requires a higher level of Emergency Response planning and co-operation than those developments in which it has previously been involved, due to:
• The larger sea area which the East Anglia THREE site would cover and the potential for EAOW expansion into the remaining area of the East Anglia Zone;
• The distance offshore from shore-based emergency response units; and • The types, number & routes of traffic currently using the site and its environs.
306. As a basic principle, EAOW would comply fully with all the requirements of MGN 371, Annex 5 - “Standards and procedures for generator shutdown and other operational requirements in the event of a search and rescue, counter pollution or salvage incident in or around an OREI” – and with all subsequent amendments or new directives from the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA).
307. Additionally EAOW would, using its own on-site personnel, vessels, structures and facilities, initiate procedures in which would constitute a rational first and self-help response to all emergencies occurring within, and close to, the proposed East Anglia THREE project.
308. Although details of personnel, structures, work vessels and personnel required for the proposed East Anglia THREE project are not yet determined, the following would serve as a guide to their principles which EAOW would follow.
309. Those sectors of Emergency Response in which East Anglia THREE Limited (EATL) considers it could directly co-operate and contribute include:
• Search and rescue as defined in the Search & Rescue (SAR) Convention of 1979 and in subsequent amendments;
• The rendering of assistance to vessels in distress as detailed in the Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) Convention 1988 and in subsequent amendments;
• First response as described in the Salvage Convention of 1989; and • First response in respect of the National Contingency Plan for Marine Pollution from Shipping & Offshore Installations (2006).
