Security

Security

Access to our facilities is controlled through the use of state of the art equipment and skilled personnel. We have undertaken special security measures around the Port area in response to International Ship & Port Security Requirements (ISPS).

We have in place a Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP) that has been approved by the Designated Authority (Trinidad & Tobago Coast Guard), in accordance with international shipping codes. The Atlantic LNG PFSP includes several aspects including shipping documentation controls, customs and immigration controls, line handling procedures, safety inspections, pilot and tug procedures, coordination with neighboring operators and standards and controls for vetting of vessel safety.

Emergency Response

The Integrated Emergency Management Plan (IEMP) is based on regular risk assessment of operational hazards. Based on these assessments, we train employees and emergency responders on procedures such as fire fighting at the LNG plant, evacuation procedures and environmental spill containment procedures. We conduct periodic ‘dry runs’ with employees and emergency responders. We also coordinate with neighboring oil and gas operations and have implemented procedures for assistance and coordination of response in the event of an emergency. In particular,
we coordinate with government representatives and emergency responders such as the fire services, hospital and police to review emergency response plans.

Atlantic LNG has a Community Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER) plan for the Point Fortin community. Our CAER plan was designed in reference to the responsible care guidelines of the chemical industry to safeguard employees and community members in the event of an accident that could impact on community health or the environment. We have established regular communication lines with the community including a hotline for community members to raise concerns.
