Abstract
In South Australia, the newest Australian liquid hydrocarbon marine export terminal has been completed in record time. The terminal services domestic and export trade in crude oil, condensate and liquefied petroleum gases while operating within a gulf which supports a major shellfish and scalefish industry and a small, but growing, recreation market. The Terminal Operator has undertaken an integrated, rational and cost-effective environmental protection strategy based on planning studies designed to ensure Government and community approval for the facility. This paper outlines those planning studies, which include: oil slick trajectory forecasting, ballast water diffuser outfall performance, prawn taint testing, coastal habitat sensitivity rating and mapping, oil spill response equipment selection and deployment strategies, equipment field trials and industry-government consultative groups.
