Petro-Nav  is  a  recognized  leader  in  petroleum  products  shipping  and  to  remain  so,  is  consistently  implementing  quality  and  procedural  improvements  as  well  as  technology  upgrades  to  its  charter  and  owned  fleet.  Within  this  context,  Petro-Nav  is  implementing  an  Arctic  port  risk  management  (PRM)  framework  and  intends  to  complete  several  port  assessments  associated  with  its  Arctic  sealift  operation.  

 Acuratek  was  mandated  to  develop  a  port  risk  assessment  for  Kangiqsualujjuaq  in  Nunavik,  Quebec.  Having  gained  firsthand  experience  in  offloading  operations  at  this  port  and  in  preparing  and  fine-tuning  the  Oil  Transfer  Risk  Module  (OTRM)  toolset  based  on  this  port  call,  Acuratek  was  well  positioned  to  complete  this  project.  Thus,  many  tasks  were  completed  for  the  risk  assessment:  extraction  of  critical  port  manual  information,  proposing  the  PRM  human  resources  that  would  participate,  preparing  OTRM  materials,  conducting  several  risk  review  exercise  with  the  selected  PRM  human  resources  as  well  as  delivering  completed  risk  worksheet  templates  that  identify  priority  risks  for  this  port.  

 Petro-Nav’s  initiative  has  further  secured  its  market  share  and  demonstrated  resilience  facing  any  shipping  related  event,  leading  the  way  in  safe,  frontier  oil  transportation.
