The activities of the Centre will support the Government’s commitment to protect Canada’s coasts, and to enhance marine safety through the World-Class Tanker Safety System, which aims to strengthen ship-source spill prevention, preparedness and response, and liability and compensation. The Centre’s mandate is to be the leading, independent source of evidence-based information on best practices for marine shipping, including the shipping of natural resource products, and to promote and facilitate research that supports the highest standards for safe and responsible marine transportation.

Specifically, the Centre will:

Serve as a trusted, independent source for information on the safe handling and shipping of oil and gas products, including liquefied natural gas;
Identify and facilitate research related to the shipment of resource products;
Provide a forum for sharing best practices and dialogue with the public, Aboriginal groups and a broad range of stakeholders;
and Provide a structured framework for the ongoing research and monitoring of environmental and social impacts, related to the shipment of natural resource products, and to make recommendations on how spill risks can be assessed and communicated to the public.

“Clear Seas Centre for Responsible Marine Shipping will make a valuable contribution to the Government’s commitment to protect Canada’s coasts and to strengthen marine safety through the World-Class Tanker Safety System initiative. As an independent body governed by its own board of directors, Clear Seas will provide an important independent voice on Canada’s shipping regime”, said the Honourable Lisa Raitt Minister of Transport.

“Vancouver continues to make its mark as the Asia-Pacific Gateway, and this Government recognizes that as we increase in commerce and traffic as a central hub for business, we must also continuously improve and strengthen our marine safety. This funding will help us to do that, at the highest standard, to ensure the safe and sustainable shipping of commodities in these valued waters.” John Weston Member of Parliament for West Vancouver – Sunshine Coast – Sea to Sky Country said.
