The scope of the work is as follows;


• The undertaker shall complete a post construction traffic monitoring survey submitted annually for the first three years post construction, and thence every second year, for the life of the project, or until such time as the MCA formally rescind the biennial survey requirement in writing.


• The survey will consist of a minimum of 28 days annual Automatic Identification System (AIS) traffic data covering seasonal variations in traffic patterns and fishing operations within a 10nm buffer of the 'as built' site. The associated report will review comparisons of 90th percentile routes from the NRA, points of closest approach, incidents recorded by MCA, Maritime Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB), Royal National Lifeboat Institutaion (RNLI) and internally reported, comparing this data against the original NRA submission.

In practice this will mean that the Automated Identification System data collected by East Anglia ONE Limited will be processed by a Navigation consultant and then reviewed against the conclusions of the Navigational Risk Assessment. A further review of incidents reported in the vicinity of EA ONE will be undertaken and the final report submitted to the MCA in the timescales identified above.
