5 An update on Fleet Renewal

• In May 2019, the Government of Canada announced 24 new large ships to renew the Coast Guard fleet. – 2 Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships – Up to 16 Multi-Purpose Vessels – Up to 6 Program Icebreakers • Meanwhile, Coast Guard received two

Offshore Fisheries Science Vessel, with one more CCGS Sir John Franklin expected by August 2020 – CCGS Sir John Franklin (June 2019) – CCGS Captain Jacques Cartier (December 2019) • Three medium icebreakers to backfill existing ships during refit and VLEs. – CCGS Captain Molly Kool (May 2019) – CCGS Vincent Massey (Autumn 2020) – CCGS Jean Goodwill (April 2020) 6 Winter Icebreaking Regions

• Winter Icebreaking operations is a whole fleet approach • Regional boundaries are not limitations • Only the locks prevent the sharing of assets during winter navigation

28 Mitigating Initiatives for Maximum Effectiveness

• C&A Region : Supply Arrangements in place for both the Great Lakes and St Lawrence sector for Punctual Icebreaking Services and Specific Aids to Navigation services • 4 Seasons buoys in place : Total of 106 (C&A) • Atlantic Region: Supply Arrangements currently being developed for Punctual Icebreaking Services and Specific Aids to Navigation services • CCGS Captain Molly Kool in service for winter 2019-20

29 Supply Arrangement – Icebreaking Services

• Coast Guard has engaged with industry to supplement icebreaking services with commercial vessels • This enables Coast guard to have better coverage of certain areas and provide faster response to clients • Coast Guard is also reaching out to industry to explore non-traditional methods of icebreaking to better take advantage of new technology.

30 Overarching Levels of Service and Priorities

• Each Region is responsible for respective icebreaker dispatch with a holistic approach (best asset available irrespective of Home Port) and to provide assistance and information as per established priorities: – Distress; – Emergencies; – Pollution or risk of pollution; – Assistance request from ferries covered by the terms of the Confederation; – Other inter-provincial ferry services requesting assistance; and – Merchant ships carrying cargo which is vital to a community.

31 Overarching Levels of Service and Priorities (con’t)

• Deployment of icebreakers within or outside of the main corridor will be planned by the respective Icebreaking Superintendents and further negotiated with ROC Superintendents if required.

• Decisions will be based on: – Vessel traffic density; – Number of vessels beset; – Number of vessels at risk of being beset in ice; and – The level of required effort to supply assistance.

32 All year buoys (Four Season Buoys) update

• Two Types: – 1.3m diameter – 0.7m diameter • Total deployed:106* • Deployment to be continued this winter on an opportunity basis • Expected completion Autumn 2020

33 All year buoys (Four Season Buoys) update

• Colored buoys showing actual four season ATON in place • Link below for updated information

• Increased presence and extended season in the Arctic – Longer days of service in the Arctic • Extended Season: 5 days • Increased Presence: 591 days – Support and increase partnerships

35 Supporting Government priorities and Industry initiatives Transmountain Pipeline

• Leading the Co-Developing Trans Mountain Expansion Project Community Response (CDCR) Marine Route initiative with support from Transport Canada. – Addresses Indigenous communities’ concerns about the risks of increased tanker traffic along TMX route Oceans Protection Plan • Lead the engagement and development of the Collaborative Situational Awareness Portal Supporting Industry initiatives – Roberts Bank Terminal Expansion 36 Seaway season extended Protecting the environment …. supporting the economy Coast Guard supports federal initiatives to protect marine mammals: • North Atlantic Right Whales – Coast Guard communicates, monitors and reports on vessels in the mandatory speed reduction zones • Southern Resident Killer Whales – Coast Guard is working with Transport Canada to develop monitoring responsibilities
