“REMOVE AS MANY RISKS AS POSSIBLE”

Coos Bay: 16,295North Bend: 9,702Barview: 1,844Charleston: 795Total population: 28,636

SIGTTO RECOMMENDATION FOR TERMINAL SITING

LNG terminals should not be sited in areas close to population centers

Place LNG terminals in sheltered locations remote from other port usersSIGTTO RECOMMENDATION FOR TERMINAL SITING

Jordan CoveRoseburg Lumber

Simultaneous LNG operations and ship movements in adjacent berths should be avoided SIGTTO RECOMMENDATION FOR TERMINAL SITING

SIGTTO RECOMMENDATION FOR TERMINAL SITING

LNG terminals should not be sited on an outside bend of a shipping channel

This minimizes the risk of other ships colliding with a berthed LNG tanker if the ship fails to make the turn

990 feet long

160 feet wide

LNG SHIP

160 feet x 5 = 800 feetMuch of the Coos Bay channel is

only 300 feet wide

SIGTTO RECOMMENDATION FOR TERMINAL SITING

Harbor channels should have a minimum width equal to five times the width of the largest ship to allow for safe maneuvering

Aircraft carrier Coral Sea Length 968 ftBeam:136 feet at the flight deck

edge of bay45 feet deep

37 feet deep

At tides lower than 6 feet a loaded LNG tanker cannot leave the terminal as there is not sufficient under keel clearance in the Federal navigation channel

SIGTTO RECOMMENDATION FOR TERMINAL SITINGLNG Tankers should have a ready escape route to open water
