The LNG complex will be installed on lands belonging to the\u00a0<em>Administration portuaire de Saguenay<\/em>\u00a0(Saguenay Port Authority), adjacent to the existing Grande-Anse port facilities.<\/p>\n<p>The project includes liquefaction equipment, storage facilities, and marine shipping infrastructures, which is where the MSRC\u2019s simulator comes into play. The purpose of the simulation analysis, which was carried out at the request of GNL Qu\u00e9bec and Bechtel, is twofold: to scrutinize the dock design and to assess the transit requirements of the Saguenay River. The study helped determine how planned vessel movements can be conducted with safe manoeuvring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough such vessels have never previously transited the Saguenay,\u201d noted Paul Racicot, Director of the MSRC, \u201cpilots from the Corporation of Lower St. Lawrence Pilots (CLSLP) have many years of experience transiting large bulk carriers and cruise ships within the region and have a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic environmental phenomena and physical constraints which factor into the overall vessel manoeuvring equation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimulation allows us to evaluate manoeuvres that will be carried out in this channel, specifically at the mouth of the Saguenay,\u201d commented \u00c9nergie Saguenay\u2019s Director of Environment Caroline Hardy. \u201cThis is extremely beneficial. Understanding the capabilities and abilities of LNG vessels in various current, tide and meteorological conditions were a key take-away from these simulations and makes our jobs safer and easier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe working environment and state-of-the-art simulators combined with the pilots\u2019 expertise were conducive to getting all the answers we were looking for,\u201d said Chris Thomas, Senior Maritime Coastal Engineer at Bechtel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT GNL QU\u00c9BEC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GNL Qu\u00e9bec is a Quebec-based project development, construction and operations company led by an experienced team, supported by major investors with international expertise in LNG development projects.\u00a0Through an innovative facility, GNL Qu\u00e9bec intends to meet the growing global energy demand by transforming, in Quebec, an affordable and environmentally responsible energy source. This will be achieved by collaborating with communities and our partners and leveraging Quebec\u2019s unique expertise.

The MSRC provides a complete range of courses to meet pilot training needs and requirements and currently serves all four Canadian pilotage authorities, which regroups 100% of Canadian pilots. The MSRC also offers tailored training to pilots from the United States and South America, among others. With its four fully instrumented navigation bridges, the MSRC has the capability to provide interactive scenarios with manned tug and large vessel simulations, including Post-Panamax ships, which allow pilots to practise their manoeuvring techniques and enhance their skills.<\/p>\n<p>In-house capabilities for building pilot-grade ship models (over 100 ship models) and customized geographic databases enables port development stakeholders worldwide to take an active part in determining risk mitigation and validation of new and existing infrastructure upgrades.
