15 PAWSA PAWSA

MITIGATION CATEGORIESCoordination / Planning Improve long-range and/or contingency

planning and better coordinate activities / improve dialogue between port stakeholders

Voluntary Training Establish / use voluntary programs to educate mariners / boaters in topics related to waterway safety (Rules of the Road, ship/boat handling, etc.)

Rules & Procedures Establish / refine rules, regulations, policies, or procedures (nav rules, pilot rules, standard operating procedures, RNAs, licensing, require training and education, etc.)

Enforcement More actively enforce existing rules / policies (navigation rules, vessel inspection regulations, standards of care, etc.)

Nav / Hydro Info Improve navigation and hydrographic information (PORTS, BNTM, charts, coast pilots, AIS, tides & current tables, etc.)

Radio Communications Improve the ability to communicate bridge-to-bridge or ship-to-shore (radio reception coverage, signal strength, reduce interference & congestion, etc.)

Active Traffic Mgmt Establish/improve a Vessel Traffic Service (info, advice & control) or Vessel Traffic Information Service (information & advice only)

Waterway Changes Widen / deepen / straighten the channel and/or improve the aids to navigation (buoys, ranges, lights, LORAN C, DGPS, etc.)

Other Actions Risk mitigation measures needed do NOT fall under any of the above strategy categories
