From our perspective, the oceans protection plan encompasses many of the elements of the tanker panel's recommendations. What I perhaps didn't say—which was mentioned by some of the previous presenters—is that area-based risk assessments and planning are things that make a lot of sense, using empirical data to identify areas of increased risk—or decreased risk, if that's the case—and adjusting the plans for spill response to reflect those new or diminished risks. That would certainly be something that was recommended in the tanker panel safety report and that this port strongly supports as a basis for future policy decisions and dialogue.
