  • PORT RISK CLASSIFICATION Dr
    PORT RISK CLASSIFICATION Dr. Philip John, Fleet Manager, Coastal Shipping Ltd. Dr. James Christie, Professor, University of New Brunswick, and Dr. Michael Ircha, Association of Canadian Port Authorities Introduction Canada is a model for nations striving to achieve high standards of living and prosperity. It is vital that Canada take steps to demonstrate its continued commitment to economic progress in the marine sector, without compromising its respect for the environment and future generations. This is especially crucial in the current era of burgeoning maritime trade and the discovery and exploitation of new offshore oil and gas fields on the east coast. In 2010, the authors designed and successfully tested a port risk assessment procedure for port risk management.1 The procedure was applied to 21 ports on the east coast; five ports in each of the provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and one in Maine. These 21 ports were classified according to the level of risk pertaining to bringing a stricken oil tanker with hull damage into a place of refuge in the port. As prime examples at opposite ends of the risk spectrum, two ports are assessed for risk, one is a ‘Very High Risk’ port (the port of Miramichi) and the other a ‘Low Risk’ port (the port of Saint John). The findings of the port risk classification and the financial resources needed to upgrade the refuge suitability of the ports are presented in this paper. This risk classification has general applicability and can be extended to include all 369 Canadian ports or any port in the world.

Heller and the First Organized Danish Migration to Canada by Erik John Nielsen Lang The first, largest, and only organized migration of Danish settlers to Canada in the 19th century was directed to the settlement of New Denmark in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The active recruitment of Danish migrants was a shift of focus for the provincial government, which had before relied almost exclusively on British settlers. Established in 1872, New Denmark's location placed it amongst the traditional ethnic groups of Victoria County: French-Canadian, English, Scottish, and Irish. Danes would not have chosen to migrate to the province at all had it not been for a Danish emigration promoter whose life, motivations, and intentions have remained understudied. The main stimulus for the Danish migration to New Brunswick resulted from a proposal put forth in 1871 by Captain S0ren Severin Heller and George Stymest to the provincial government.

REPORT OF THE Railroad Commissioners OF THE STATE OF nifA_INE. 1887. ---- ·------ AUGUSTA: BURLEIGH & FLYNT, PRINTERS TO THE S-TA'l!E~ 18 8 8. REPORT. To the Gove1·n01· of the State of iliaine: The Board of Railroad Commissioners respectfully submits this their twenty-ninth annual report. It is with a feeling of gratitude and pleasure that we can note the fact, that, while a series of appalling accidents have oc­ curred on many railroads in other States during the past year, the railroads in Maine have been comparatively free from ac­ cidents of any kind. This result, we believe, is very largely due to the wisdom, care and efficiency of those entrusted with the management of the several· railroads in the State, in the selection of subordinates and cmployes, and in looking care­ fully to the physical condition of their roads, and in the adop­ tion of and adhesion to modern systems of running trains thereon. The reports of the several railroad companies in the State show a most gratifying and, as appears, permanent increase in business both in passenger and freight earnings, notwith­ standing the fact that in the early part of the season many railroads on the seaboard were seriously effected by some of the provis10ns of the :ilnterstate Commerce Law," which pro­ visions, in effect, tended to divert freight traffic from railroads to steam and other vessels, at all competing points.
