1000 1130 West Pender Street Vancouver, B.C. V6E 4A4 (604)-666-6771 www.ppa.gc.ca SUMMARY OF THE CORPORATE PLAN 2007 TO 2011 Includes: OPERATING BUDGET 2007 CAPITAL BUDGET 2007

Executive Summary Trade opportunities have never been greater for Canada due to the enormous growth in transpacific cargo volumes, which is affecting virtually every maritime sector that the Authority serves. Traffic levels through the West Coast Ports the Authority services have posted significant tonnage gains over the last two to three years. These same tonnage gains do not always translate into pilotage assignment increases, mainly due to the increasing size of vessels. Mid-year cargo statistics for 2006 through our major ports are showing a mixed message. Some sectors, such as container volumes and forest products are showing double digit increases while others, such as coal, are recording a ten percent decrease. Other traffic sectors, such as the Cruise Industry, are remaining steady although this Industry may call at different ports within our jurisdiction. Our traffic will continue to be subject to fluctuations based upon commodity prices, exchange rates, trading patterns, crop conditions and other events outside of our control. Strategically, the Authority has planned for tonnage increases during the plan years by assessing current traffic levels and will be looking at a high and low range of assignments in future plans. Co-operative forecasting models are being developed with strategic partners starting 2007. Major ports have presented their forecasts to the Board and Management at strategic planning sessions. In order to remain pro-active with the Industry we service, the Authority actively monitors and participates in discussions relating to upgrading or new dock facilities. Major projects currently under construction or being planned within the Authority s jurisdiction are: A new container dock in Prince Rupert which is scheduled to be operational late 2007. A new cruise ship dock in Campbell River scheduled to be operational in 2007. Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) terminals in Prince Rupert and Kitimat currently in the environmental review process. The Enbridge pipeline terminal in Kitimat currently in the environmental review process. The third berth expansion at the Deltaport container terminal currently in the environmental review process. Proposed aggregate plants at Port Alberni and Kitimat. Some of these projects are of enormous scope and have the potential to affect the Authority s operations in a major fashion. The Authority has designated certain trigger points relating to major projects that will start a process of specific Pilot training, recruitment and other preparatory actions. The new launch construction program, mentioned in last year s plan, was delayed primarily due to engine configuration concerns. The Authority has now redesigned these vessels to revised specifications which will ensure they will continue to operate with the current crew complement 1

of one master and one engineer/deckhand. The Authority also took this opportunity to revisit the engine configuration in light of technical and warranty issues on the last series of engines used in the Pathfinder. This change in engine configuration will result in more reliable and cost efficient vessels. The financing of the new launch construction program is in place with a major Canadian Chartered Bank. The Authority has received approval from the Minister of Finance to borrow up to $7.5 million specifically for this program. The funding mechanism for this project is also in place as the Authority has agreed with the Chamber of Shipping to charge users a launch replacement fee of $180 every time a pilot launch is used in our operations. As part of the strategic planning process the Authority reviewed internal business systems and has committed to a major computer system upgrade. Shown in the plan as Stage 1, this upgrade will use current technology and allow the Authority to offer web based services to Industry. Stage 1 of the computer system upgrade, $420,000, will be funded from investments that the Authority currently holds on deposit. From a financial perspective, the Authority is presenting a plan that indicates a surplus for the year of 2007. However, this surplus becomes a deficit after the launch replacement revenue is accounted for. The Authority s plan years of 2008 and 2009 assume a level of tariff adjustment along with cost containment that will ensure annual surpluses after accounting for the launch replacement revenue. Mandate The mandate of the Authority is to establish, operate, maintain, and administer in the interest of safety, an efficient pilotage service within the regions set out in respect of the Authority, on a basis of financial self-sufficiency. Profile of the Authority Background The Pacific Pilotage Authority was established February 1st, 1972, pursuant to the Pilotage Act, 1970-71-72, Chapter 52. The Pacific Pilotage Authority is a Schedule III, Part I (FAA) Crown Corporation, comprising a Chairman and six Board Members appointed by Governor-in-Council. The Authority is not an agent of the Crown. 2

Powers To carry out its responsibilities the Authority has made regulations, approved by Governor-in- Council, pursuant to the Pilotage Act for: 1. Establishing compulsory pilotage areas. 2. Prescribing the ships or classes of ships that are subject to compulsory pilotage. 3. Prescribing classes of Pilot s licences and classes of pilotage certificates that may be issued. 4. Prescribing the tariffs of pilotage charges to be paid to the Authority for pilotage services. In addition, the Authority is empowered by the Pilotage Act to: 1. Employ such officers and employees, including licenced Pilots, as are required. 2. Contract with a body corporate for the services of licenced Pilots. 3. Make by-laws respecting the management of its internal affairs. 4. Purchase, lease, or otherwise acquire land, buildings, pilot launches and such other equipment and assets as may be required and to dispose of any such assets acquired. Corporate Objectives The Authority's Corporate Objectives are: 1. To provide safe, reliable and efficient marine pilotage and related services in the coastal waters of British Columbia, including the Fraser River. 2. To provide the services within a commercially-oriented framework, directed toward maintaining financial self-sufficiency, through tariffs which are fair and reasonable. 3. To promote the effective utilization of the Authority's facilities, equipment and expertise, through the productive application of these resources in the interest of safe navigation. 4. To be responsive to the Government's environmental, social and economic policies. Vision Statement The Authority s vision statement is To be the template for Canadian Pilotage Authorities. Mission Statement The Pacific Pilotage Authority provides safe, efficient pilotage by working in partnership with Pilots and the shipping industry to protect the interests of the people of Canada. 3

Adaptability and Innovation - We value innovation and creativity. We encourage and support originality and diversity of thought. As individuals and as teams, working with our internal and external partners, we welcome new ideas and methods to enhance our service and the use of our resources. Description of Operations The Authority is responsible for providing safe, reliable and efficient marine pilotage in the coastal waters of British Columbia, including the Fraser River. The Authority has established five areas subject to compulsory pilotage. When a vessel intends to enter compulsory pilotage waters on the British Columbia Coast, it will initiate an order for a Pilot at a specified time, date and boarding station. A Pilot either contracted to or employed by the Authority will carry out this assignment. Pilots are boarded on vessels by pilot launch or helicopter and are disembarked in similar fashion when a vessel leaves pilotage waters. The affairs of the Authority are managed through its head office at Vancouver. Pilots are dispatched to their assignments through a central dispatch office in Vancouver and a traffic coordination office in Victoria. 4

During 2006, a workforce of one hundred contract Pilots (seasonally adjusted) provided coastal pilotage services. Additionally, there are nine employee Pilots who pilot vessels on the Fraser River. To provide Pilots with water transportation to and from ships, the Authority operates pilot launches at three permanent boarding stations. These stations are Victoria, Prince Rupert and Steveston which have employee-crewed launches. For the tenth consecutive year and during the summer season only, the Authority has established a boarding station at Pine Island (Northern tip of Vancouver Island) operated by a contract launch. This station will perform approximately 300 Pilot transfers during the summer of 2006, of which the majority will be cruise ship traffic. The Cruise Industry is the major user of this station since it allows their vessels a high degree of flexibility with regard to the Alaska cruises. Additionally, the Authority has a contract with the Nanaimo Port Authority for launch services in the Nanaimo area. On the West Coast of Vancouver Island at Cape Beale, the Authority has a designated boarding station which services the Port Alberni region. Corporate Governance Corporate Governance is the process of establishing and monitoring, the policies and procedures which will ensure the stewardship of the business and affairs of the Authority, including financial viability. The Authority s Board of Directors comprises a Chairman, two Pilot representatives, two Shipping Industry representatives and two representatives of the public interest. This structure provides effective channels of communication and encourages better understanding of the requirements of the major users. The Canada Marine Review Panel has recommended that the present Board structure be included in the Pilotage Act. The Chairman and three Board members are also designated as members of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the financial performance of the Authority and then presents the monthly financial statements to the Board of Directors for formal acceptance. The Authority complies with the Treasury Board guidelines on corporate governance practices. This includes Board self assessments, a nomination committee for prospective Directors and the development of Director s skills criteria. 5

Launch Stations, Office Facilities and Computers The Authority leases property from the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority in Victoria, at Ogden Point, in order to accommodate the pilot launch floats and workshop. The Authority will continue to work towards a longer term option which will facilitate long term planning. Beyond regular repair and maintenance there is no substantial upgrading planned at time of writing. The Authority owns the Prince Rupert floats and during 2003 substantially renovated them to accommodate the Pacific Pathfinder s requirements. The Authority owns the Victoria dispatch office, which has been completely renovated in past years. Beyond regular repair and maintenance there is no substantial upgrading planned at time of writing. The Authority relocated to the current Vancouver head office facilities on December 1, 1999. The lease on this facility expires on December 31, 2009. After consultation and input from Industry, the Authority has endorsed a plan to upgrade its computer systems with the intent of providing greater support to internet and web based applications. Pilot Launches The Authority s fleet consists of five specially designed pilot launches of which three were built in the early 1970's. The Authority is committed to a planned maintenance program, which ensures all service and safety demands are met in a timely, orderly and cost effective fashion. All launches are on a four-year Canada Steamship Inspection (CSI) cycle. Pilot Launches Station Date Built Size Pacific Pilot # 1 Steveston 1970 65' Pacific Pilot # 2 Victoria 1971 65' Pacific Pilot # 4 Prince Rupert 1973 65' Pacific Pilot # 6 Victoria 1983 49' Pacific Pathfinder Prince Rupert 2003 72 During 2004 the Authority developed a Long Term Pilot Launch Strategic Plan which reviewed operational requirements at both the owned and contracted launch stations. It was acknowledged that each station has a unique set of environmental and operational conditions to contend with. This plan listed the specifics for every boarding station, either Authority operated or contracted. These stations include: Victoria Steveston Nanaimo 6

Vancouver Inner Harbour and English Bay Pine Island Cape Beale Triple Island The new launch construction program, mentioned in last year s plan, was delayed primarily due to engine configuration concerns. The Authority has now redesigned these vessels to revised specifications which will ensure they will continue to operate with the current crew complement of one master and one engineer/deckhand. The Authority also took this opportunity to revisit the engine configuration in light of technical and warranty issues on the last series of engines used in the Pathfinder. This change in engine configuration will result in more reliable and cost efficient vessels. At present time the Authority has finalized the design, secured financing and is intending to sign a construction contract with a qualified shipyard during the fall of 2006. It is anticipated that the new construction process will encompass an eighteen month period. Two vessels of the same design and configuration will be contracted for in order to achieve efficiencies in construction. The financing of this program is in place with a major Canadian Chartered Bank. The Authority has received approval from the Minister of Finance to borrow up to $7.5 million specifically for this construction program. The funding mechanism for this project is also in place as the Authority has agreed with the Chamber of Shipping to charge users a launch replacement fee of $180 every time a pilot launch is used in our operations. It is anticipated that this fee will remain in place until all the capital expenditure funds for new construction and refurbishment of launches has been recovered and the Authority has rebuilt their financial reserves to an appropriate level. The Authority acknowledges that a significant traffic downturn would impact the annual revenue collected from this fee. In this event, the current level of this fee combined with the ability to structure bank borrowings would allow the Authority sufficient flexibility to maintain the program and all financial obligations. The first of these vessels is forecast to be operational in the second quarter of 2008 and will be based at Victoria. The second vessel is forecast to be operational in the third quarter of 2008 and would be based at Steveston to service the Fraser River customers. The Pilot Launch Strategic plan also calls for a launch survey to determine if two of the older launches are suited to a major overhaul and refurbishment. The intent is to extend their useful lives and utilize these vessels in back up roles to further ensure uninterrupted service to Industry. 7

Government Policies The Authority continues to comply with the requirements of the Human Rights Commission, Canadian Multiculturalism Act, Employment Equity Act, Official Languages Act, Equal Opportunity Program, Federal Identify Program, Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and the Access to Information and Privacy Acts. Sources of Funding Tariff In order to finance its activities, the Authority charges users for its services through a tariff. Consistent with pilotage objectives, the tariff is intended to be fair, reasonable and sufficient to allow for a safe and efficient service. The Authority continues to place great emphasis on the open consultation process with Industry, prior to a tariff application being initiated. Personnel Resources The Authority has 58 full time employees: 9 Fraser River Pilots, 11 dispatchers, 26 Pilot launch personnel and 12 management and administrative personnel. The Authority contracts with the British Columbia Coast Pilots Ltd. for coastal pilotage services. Currently, there are 100 (seasonally adjusted) active Pilot members of the BCCP who provide the coastal pilotage services. The required complement of coastal Pilots is established annually in relation to the projected assignments. Replacement and Training of Pilots In order to ensure a highly qualified and skilled Pilot workforce, the Authority places major emphasis upon selection and training of Pilots. The apprenticeship for a coastal Pilot takes place over a period of approximately six and one-half months. This includes attendance at training courses for ship handling, ship simulation and Bridge Resource Management. In some cases where a candidate requires additional training, the Authority will increase the training period up to twelve months. The Authority reviews training facilities on a regular basis to ensure the funds expended are spent in the most cost effective manner. The latest review, conducted during 2004 resulted in a change of the manned-model training facilities from Port Revel in France to Ilawa, Poland. At present, the cost for training each apprentice is approximately $84,000, which includes remuneration, travel costs and course fees and is borne entirely by the Authority. The Authority expects to train and licence four coastal Pilots during the 2007 plan year. The Authority feels that this level of replacement and training will ensure contract Pilot strength remains capable of responding to the projected levels of activity. 8

The Authority is budgeting $270,000 during each of the plan years to continue funding of the Skills Enhancement Program for senior Pilots. This program s intent is to train twenty percent of the senior Pilots, per annum. During 2007, senior Pilots will travel to Ilawa, Poland to enhance their skills in ship handling using manned models. Additionally, the Authority will expend an additional $200,000 per annum in the next two years, 2007 and 2008, to ensure all Pilots are trained in the use of Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS). IBS is very specific to the new generation of vessels operating on the West Coast. The Authority holds Pilot s exams every year to assess Pilot candidates who have the necessary experience and skills to perform the job. In addition, pre-exam sessions have been held to inform prospective candidates of the necessary requirements. The Authority also promotes a Familiarization Program, which is intended to further supplement a candidate s coast wide knowledge. The Authority feels confident that sufficient candidates will be available to meet the projected training levels during the plan period. Strategic Goals and Performance Measures The Authority introduced a strategic planning process in 1999. The outcome of this early session was the development of a set of values, the identification of issues, priorities and actions and the establishment of a reporting process that allowed the Board to monitor progress against the agreed action plans. During 2005, the Authority s Board and Management established a vision statement which will figure prominently in our efforts for the years ahead. VISION STATEMENT To be the template for Canadian Pilotage Authorities MISSION STATEMENT The Pacific Pilotage Authority provides safe, efficient pilotage by working in partnership with pilots and the shipping industry to protect the interests of the people of Canada. 9

Operating Budget 2007 Commentary PACIFIC PILOTAGE AUTHORITY The 2007 Budget is based upon a tariff revision of 3.0 percent effective as of January 1, 2007. The highlights of the 2007 budget are as follows: 1. The Authority is forecasting a surplus of $750,000 based upon 10,600 coastal and 1,350 river trips. Readers are reminded that if the Authority were to adjust the statements to account for the launch replacement revenue mentioned below the annual surplus would become a deficit. 2. This surplus includes $1,460,000 of launch replacement revenue. The tariff rate of $180 per boarding is intended to fund the new launch construction program. 3. The general revenue tariff categories for launch and transportation rates are assumed to increase by 3.0 percent. 4. The BCCP payout ratio (BCCP cost divided by pilotage revenue) is forecast at 89 percent. The annual increase for the BCCP service agreement is 2.2 percent as per contract. 5. The budget anticipates four coastal apprentice Pilots being licenced during the year and additionally there is $270,000 budgeted for senior Pilot skills enhancement. Additional to the skills enhancement training, the Authority will fund $200,000 for Integrated Bridge System training (IBS). 6. Wage increases for the Authority s unionized employees are shown as 2.5 percent. All other costs, such as vessel operating, travel and general administration are forecast at a 2.5 percent annual increase. 12

Capital Budget 2007 Commentary PACIFIC PILOTAGE AUTHORITY The Authority s capitalization limit is $10,000 per expenditure. Buildings and Floats In recent years, both the Victoria and Prince Rupert floats have been upgraded and renovated to ensure their on-going operational condition. For the 2007 budget year, $30,000 is budgeted for decking and stair renewal on the Victoria floats. Pilot Launches The Launch Replacement Program was initiated in the 2005 budget year. This program will continue into 2008 when the new construction phase finishes. It is expected that construction will commence on the first launch late 2006 with a second launch being started during the second quarter of 2007. The capital costs for this new construction program are reflected in the schedules as New Pilot Launch 1 and 2 and for the plan year of 2007 they total $5.2 million. Communication Equipment and Other This category, covering miscellaneous office equipment and furniture is budgeted at $20,000. In addition, an expenditure of $80,000 is budgeted to continue the VHF radio purchase program. Mainly due to age, the current VHF radios cannot be serviced after 2007 so the intent is to phase in new, upgraded radios. Computers and Software The current dispatching and billing software was installed in the early 1990 s with some data base modifications done in 1995. Although very functional and stable, the Authority has endorsed a plan to upgrade its computer systems with the intent of providing greater support to internet and web based applications. The first part of this program, Stage 1, is scheduled to be delivered during 2006. The second part of the program, Stage II, is scheduled to be delivered during the plan year of 2007.

Incident Reporting The Authority categorizes incident and accident reporting into three types of investigations. An incident or accident will not be classified until sufficient facts are available to assess the potential for safety improvements and may require on site evaluation or interviews. Class A Investigations Defines an investigation that has a high probability of improving navigation safety, in that, there is a significant potential for reducing the risk to persons, vessels or the environment. Class B Investigations Defines an investigation that has a medium probability of improving navigation safety, in that, there is a moderate potential for reducing the risk to persons, vessels or the environment. Class C Investigations Defines an investigation that has a low probability of improving navigation safety, in that, there is a limited potential for reducing the risk to persons, vessels or the environment. The following table shows the actual number of incidents the Authority has recorded over the last five years.
