1. Executive Summary
Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) periodically commissions a marine oil spill risk assessment
to be undertaken. MNZ uses these risk assessments to guide the management of oil spill
response planning.
This report details the background, methodology, and results of the most recent marine
oil spill risk assessment (MOSRA15). MOSRA15 was carried out by Navigatus
Consulting and completed in April 2015. Key findings are presented in the form of map
images, tables, and supporting explanations.
MOSRA15 represents the latest evolution of efforts to understand the maritime oil spill
risk profile, spanning from 1992 to the present. Each project undertaken has built upon
the previous and, while being outwardly similar, MOSRA15 represents a significant
advance on MOSRA10.
For example, for the first time MOSRA provides an oil spill risk profile for offshore and
vessel activity in the open water around New Zealand. MOSRA15 represents a natural
update of information from the previous MOSRA10.
The outputs of MOSRA15 are, in summary:
u Tabular presentation of sector risk profile by vessel types showing % of total

national oil spill risk;
u Visualisations and listings of the overall national shoreline risk profile and
environmental sensitivity;
u Visualisations of the oil spill risk and environmental sensitivity to oil in the open
water surrounding New Zealand (to ~200km from the mainland);
u Graphical displays of oil spill probability for ‘high risk’ shoreline areas and ports;
u Visualisations of the national shoreline navigational hazard profile and listings for
each shoreline area;
u Visualisations of relevant maritime activity around New Zealand;
u A register of environmental and the associated value of features associated with
each shoreline area; and
u Visualisations and graphical display of a range of future scenarios associated
with vessel trading and offshore exploration over a 5-year period.
Visualisations of these outputs are presented in the form of images and tables in this
report (See Section 6 for the most significant results) and via an interactive website at
http://mosra15.navigatusconsulting.com .

MOSRA15 has determined that the overall shoreline risk profile remains similar to that in
MOSRA10. However, it is noted that:
u There has been some limited change in the relative risk across maritime sectors.
This can be explained in part by changes in activity since the 2005 -2009 dataset,
as well as advances in modelling and analysis – specifically consideration of sea
currents and open water ecological vulnerabilities;
u The level of risk associated with tanker movement along the Northland east coast
is rated as ‘High’, but the absolute level may not be as high as previously
calculated. While this can be explained in part by some changes in activity, it is
considered that the more advanced modelling of the effect of winds and currents
accounts for most of the change seen; and
u The Cook Strait area is rated higher than seen in MOSRA10. This can be
explained by the more advanced modelling of wind and current.
The MOSRA15 sector contribution results are shown in the table below:
Sector Contributions
Sector Shoreline Impact Basis Open Water Basis
Foreign Tankers 60.6% 71.3%
Domestic Tankers 19.6% 11.4%
Foreign Passenger and Cargo 9.4% 12.7%
Domestic Passenger and Cargo Vessels 9.4% 3.1%
NZ Fishing Vessels 0.9% 1.5%
Production Installations 0.03% 0.11%
The analysis of four potential future scenarios suggests that the overall risk profile is
fairly constant regardless of reasonably credible changes in vessel activity over time.
The table below shows the change in overall risk level compared to the current situation
(same risk measurement as used in sector analysis).
Shoreline Impact
Scenario Open Water Basis
Basis
Baseline (MOSRA15 results) -% -%
1: Increased vessel size 21% 21%
2: Increased oil production -0.3% 0.2%
3: Scenarios 1 and 2 together 21% 21%
4: GFC type event -13% -17%
Scenario 1 (an increase in vessel size with a reduction in the number of transits) results
in notably higher overall risk compared to the current situation. Scenario 2 (increase in oil
production along with the addition of exploration wells) has little impact on overall risk of
oil spill. Further analysis for Scenario 2 indicated that exploration activity risk equates to
approximately 3% of current offshore risk (shoreline impact basis) and 33% of current
offshore risk (open water impact basis). If in 5 years an event similar to the GFC
occurred, the overall oil spill risk would decrease by between 10 and 20%.
2. Background
2.1 Project aim and deliverables
The aim of the Marine Oil Spill Risk Assessment 2015 (MOSRA15) was to provide
information and insights that will inform policy, enable development of a future-focused
strategy, and support risk-based oil response planning by Maritime New Zealand (MNZ)
and other stakeholders.
The main objective of the MOSRA15 project undertaken by Navigatus Consulting for
MNZ was the development of a risk model to map oil spill risk, that built and improved on
previous models.
MOSRA15 was designed to deliver:
u An accurate picture of New Zealand’s current oil spill risk profile;

u Deliver the capability of the previous MOSRA models but with the added ability
to:
w Account for various types of oil;
w Enable sensitivity analysis to:
> Reveal the relative importance of maritime factors and modelling

assumptions to inform stakeholder engagement and next-steps planning;
> 'Look ahead' scenarios to reveal the effect of known trends as well as a
range of credible future risk profiles;
> Enable trends and future changes within and across sectors to be
explored;
w Reflect current environmental values and risk away from the New Zealand
shoreline;
w Enable risk based ‘Sector Contribution’ to be determined across the maritime
industry (as part of its core capability);
w Furnish relevant information (overview and drill down) for oil spill response
planning functions (similar to MOSRA10);
w Aid communication and explanation of the factors that contribute to the

relative level of risk around the shoreline, away from the shoreline, and due to
various activities.

2.2 Project history
MOSRA15 is preceded by a number of marine oil spill risk assessments, starting with the
first national risk assessment undertaken in 1992 (see Figure 2.1). Each model has built
on the previous model to ensure earlier developments are utilised, while also developing
and improving the model.
Figure 2.1 Summary of national marine oil spill risk assessments
2.2.1 MOSRA10
MOSRA10, the last risk model, was built upon MOSRA04 (this was a specific
requirement of how the associated analysis was to be built). This requirement gave
MOSRA10 strength as it was able to utilise earlier developments, but it also meant some
opportunities to advance the methodology could not be taken.
2.2.1.1 Strengths and improvements

The main improvements of MOSRA10 over the models before it are summarised below:
u Extended the methodology by including a function to calculate the level of

environmental risk;
u Applied spill probability calculations to individual 20km compliant shoreline cells
(based upon a NIWA developed shoreline cell system and superseding a recliner
system used by MOSRA04);
u Included consideration of oil-transfer facilities at ports;
u Incorporated a user interface that could explore the effect of changing input
factors on calculated risk and probability profiles;
u Included web interface to engage with stakeholders and enable ‘drill down’ into
the information displayed;
u Incorporated much greater detail, quality and accuracy of environmental data;
and
u Recorded and made available the source of environmental and vessel data
(metadata).
2.3 MOSRA15
The main limitations of the previous MOSRA10 that have been addressed in MOSRA15
are summarised below:
u Offshore oil production analysis was a 'bolt-on' function (and so change was
difficult to model) – now integrated into the core model;
u 'Impact' only occurred at the shoreline (and so was not able to consider far-off-
shore risk or fully factor in the effect of off-shore activity and incidents) – open
water environment now fully considered;
u Assumed all oil types have the same environmental impact (sinking, floating,
dissolving), which is a significant simplification – floating and dissolving now
treated separately;
u Did not consider the differing impact of oil types – impact of differing oils now
considered;
u Sector analysis was not a built-in capability and was difficult to undertake – sector
analysis now a core capability;
u Vessels that do not enter ports were largely invisible (including transfer tankers) –
now captured;
u Did not take account of currents – ocean currents now modelled;
u Simplified consideration of shipping distance from shore – shipping movements
now based upon AIS data; and
u Assumed and therefore simplified shipping lane locations – now more fully
modelled.
2.4 MOSRA15 project approach
The main stages undertaken to develop MOSRA15 are outlined below:
u Develop / build base model - Stage 1 (design);

u Developed offshore environmental model;
u Developed navigational safety risk functionality1;
u Developed and built the base model - Stage 2 (build / test);
u Detailed review and update of environmental shoreline information and ratings;
u Stakeholder engagement;
u Developed scenario model capability;
u Prepared MOSRA15 report.

3. Data sources, assumptions, and limitations

The MOSRA15 study has the following key limitations:
u The calculated risk profile was built upon the available local and global
information. Risk analyses cannot predict specific future events, only possible
outcomes over time based on the balance of probabilities. This study was based
upon the data made available – either via public sources, or as supplied by
stakeholders - and the quality of the findings was determined in part on the
quality of that data.
u As is the norm for a study of this type, this project measured risk on two metrics:
the probability over time of spill events occurring, and the impact should a spill
event occur. In this case, impact was measured on a scale appropriate for the
possible range of effects of oil coming ashore on the marine shoreline. Any
impact was assumed to be unintended and unacceptable and therefore no
acceptance criteria were applied to impact. Although this study is termed a ‘risk
assessment’, strictly speaking, risk assessment includes a step of judging the
acceptability of risk against identified criteria (ref AS/NZS ISO31000:2009).
u The study was carried out at a level of detail appropriate for a strategic level
study. As a result, the range of spill sizes considered was 1 tonne up to
99,000 tonnes and the physical discrimination for impacts was based upon a
20km shoreline distance and 10km hexagonal open water cells.

4. Analysis methodology
This section describes the core analysis engine of the risk model used to determine the
oil spill risk to New Zealand shorelines and open water areas.
4.1 Risk determination
In MOSRA15, risk2 is determined in the following manner:
Probability of Oil x Environmental Rating = Risk
The probability of oil spill is calculated from the analytical model,

Risk scale
which contains the probability of oil being present in a cell and the
expected amount of oil in that cell. Very High
The environmental ratings are then combined with probability of oil to High
calculate overall risk.
Moderate
Both of these metrics are described in further detail in the following
Low
sections. The risk scale developed used the colour scale to the right
to visualise the results on a map of New Zealand. Fuller details of the Very Low
visualisation of risk results are given in Section 6.3.
4.2 Model overview
The model used to determine risk accesses data from a database, displays results on a
webpage3, calculates sector contribution, and prepares graphic displays of risk profiles.
The spill likelihood component of the model is largely based on methodology used in
MOSRA10 and the later sector analysis, with improvements made based on learnings
from these and other projects.
The analysis identifies sources of risk (e.g. vessels, bunkering, wells) and types of
events that could lead to marine spills (e.g. collisions, bunkering spills etc.). The analysis
estimates the frequencies of these events using general industry research and global
accident data, and uses event chain logic to estimate likelihood of a spill following an
incident. Given the presence of a risk creating activity, the model calculates the
probability of an accident occurring, the probability of a spill resulting, and the overall spill
likelihood by spill size and vessel type. Figure 4.1 explains the model’s structure.
The model produces three main outputs: the risk for the New Zealand shoreline; the risk
for the open water; and sector contribution. The open water model uses a hexagonal
cellular scale while the shoreline, following on from MOSRA10, is divided into 20km long
shoreline segments. The frameworks used are described in more detail in Section 5.

Strictly speaking, risk assessment includes a step of judging the acceptability of risk against
identified criteria, however this was not judged in MOSRA15.

More information on the web interface can be found in Appendix A.
Figure 4.1 Model summary showing main analytical components and data flow
Key features of the analysis engine include:
u Carries out risk analysis for shoreline and open water cells utilising a hexagonal
cellular grid;
u Considers wind and current when determining the movement of oil;
u Determines the oil decay separately for 5 different oil types and included the
effect of different sea temperatures around New Zealand;
u Results are grouped by floating, dissolving and oil persistency; and
u Drew global routes and activity sourced from automatic identification system
(AIS) data.
4.3 Key developments over MOSRA10 analysis
There are a number of key modelling improvements that are made in MOSRA15 when
compared to the previous MOSRA10. These include:
u Consideration of the open water cells in addition to shoreline cells;

u 17 vessel types analysed for spill likelihood compared with 8 previously;
u Scenario analysis for changing vessel transits and amounts of oil carried;
u Modelling for explorations wells;
u Effect of current and sea temperature and its effect on the distribution of oil;
u 2009-2014 vessel and transit data;
u Updating environmental ratings; and
u Including navigation hazard values.

4.4 Spill likelihood at source
The first step in calculating oil spill risk is to calculate the likelihood Figure 4.2 Event
of an incident. This spill likelihood analysis is largely based on the chain analysis
for spill
methodology used in MOSRA10. likelihood
The model takes an event chain approach to estimating the

likelihood of a spill following an incident (Figure 4.2). Given the
presence of a risk creating activity, the model calculates the
probability of an accident occurring, the probability of a spill resulting
from the accident, and the overall spill likelihood by spill size and
vessel type.
4.4.1 Vessels
The analysis calculates accident and spill probabilities for vessels by
considering accidents resulting from:
u Collisions
u Grounding
u Fire/Structural Failure
u Oil Transfer Incidents (Tankers only) when in port
u Bunkering Incidents (vessels in port only).
The effect of navigational hazards for each location is determined and included in the
model to adjust the base probabilities for each accident type. Factors that make up the
navigational hazard modifier are:
u Activity / Traffic Density – this includes number of vessel movements, oil

exploration/drilling and other marine activities.
u Physical Shoreline – considerations includes likelihood of groundings, collisions,
ease of navigation using radar etc.
u Environmental Conditions – this includes wind, currents, swell, and lee shore
etc. (see Appendix C for further information on wind, current, and temperature).
These factors are rated and combined to form an overall Navigational Hazard rating (see
Appendix A). Probabilities for vessels in open water and in port are combined to form the
base probability for an incident and resulting spill in an open water cell.
4.4.1.1 Vessel Activity

AIS and other shipping data were used to build a view of shipping lanes, vessel routes,
and the numbers of ships on each route. This allowed the analysis of the location and
volume of potential oil sources.
Vessel movement
Domestic route information used visualisations from a 3-month period of the AIS.
Information on domestic tanker movements was provided by Silver Fern Shipping. For
fishing vessels, known activity was used to determine the areas of operation e.g. fishing
vessel routes from ports to known trawling areas. For foreign vessels, routes were
plotted between New Zealand ports and from overseas locations to/from New Zealand.

For foreign vessels, movement numbers were reconstructed based on the Foreign Levy
Database, which records each port visit in New Zealand.
4.4.2 Offshore oil extraction

Accident probabilities for offshore activity were calculated for:
u Supple Vessel Contact

u Fixed Platform Fire/Structural Failure
u FPSO Fire/Structural Failure
u Well Leak/Structural Failure
u Pipe Fire/Structure Failure
u Shuttle Tanker Fuel Spill
u Exploration Well Spill.
Accident probabilities for each accident type are based on generally available industry
engineering and incident studies (see Table 3.1) together with expert judgement and
were subject to the following modifiers:
u Accident exposure rates per year:

w This was based on the number of rigs, wells, flowlines and pipes in a given
open water cell (based on publicly available information);
w Level of activity (e.g. shuttle tanker movements); and
w Navigational hazard value.
11
The combination of these factors leads to the base probabilities of a spill occurring as a
result of an incident.
Data on locations and numbers of offshore facilities were based on a number of different
sources. The position and number of offshore platforms and FPSOs is based on data
from the Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) graphical information system (GIS). New
Zealand Petroleum and Minerals provided data for offshore wells. Offshore pipelines
were sourced from a combination of LINZ GIS and the Petroleum Basin Explorer
supplemented with nautical charts. It was assumed flow lines were attached to each
wellhead, except where directional drilling had been employed.
4.4.1 Offshore oil exploration

In addition to current offshore activities, the expected future oil exploration wells are also
considered. Accident probabilities are calculated for 6 rigs, in 6 different notional drilling
locations and it was assumed they would drill 6 months at a time. These drilling locations
are representative of the type of well location that may be chosen by the operator - they
are located approximately at the centroid of each licence area. These licence areas were
supplied by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Petroleum and
Minerals branch.
As with offshore activities, accident probabilities for exploration wells were based on
generally available industry engineering and incident studies together (Etkin 2014; Etkin
2009) and were subject to the following modifiers:
u Accident exposure rates per year

w This is based on the number of wells in the open water cell;
w Level of activity; and

w Navigational hazard value.
The combination of these factors leads to the base probabilities of a spill occurring from
exploration activities as a result of an incident.
4.5 Oil dispersion from source
The second step in determining the influence of an oil spill Figure 4.3 Summary of
is to determine the oil dispersion in the event of a spill. model approach
Similar to the spill likelihood at source, the model again

takes an event chain approach to estimating the
dispersion of oil following a spill. Figure 4.3 illustrates this
event chain approach.
When a spill event occurs in a marine environment, three

key factors influence the dispersion and travel of oil from
the source of the spill. These can be categorised as:
u Wind velocity and direction;

u Current velocity and direction; and
u Oil persistence.
4.6 Environmental consequence
The third step in determining risk is to consider consequence. This sub-section describes
the methodology used to assess the environmental consequence, and summarises the
subsequent inputs into the overall calculation of risk. Fuller detail of the environmental
system and ratings can be found at Appendix D.
The entire New Zealand shoreline can be considered important to people local to that
area. However, the environmental assessment has to discriminate consequence across
differing areas so MOSRA15 can provide useful information about the geographic
distribution of impact and (when combined with oil spill probability) risk.
For both floating and dissolving oils, the consequence ratings considers effect (including
impact and recovery time), and importance (including uniqueness and distribution). The
assessment used publically available information. No fieldwork was undertaken as part
of the MOSRA15 project.
4.6.1 Shoreline
For the shoreline, the following effects categories were considered:
u Species
u Habitats
u Social, amenity and recreation
u Culture and heritage
u Economic.
The main data sources used and their limitations are summarised in Section 3.2.
13
4.6.2 Open water

For the open water, the following categories were considered:
u Species
u Habitats.
Only the species and habitats categories are Figure 4.4 Example of NABIS
included as other categories are not expected to information layer
suffer significant effects due to wide distribution of
the resource in the open water.
The main data sources for the open water were

the National Aquatic Biodiversity Information
System (NABIS) information layers obtained from
the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) web site.
These were loaded in GIS format and converted
to match the open water geospatial grid. These
layers were then assigned an environmental
rating in the assessment stage. Figure 4.4 shows an example of a NABIS layer used in
the analysis.
4.6.3 Environmental scale

The scale used in MOSRA15 is based on the scale used in MOSRA10 – for the most
part only minor adjustments were made to improve clarity and consistency in ratings.
The overarching scale used for considering environmental consequence is shown in

Figure 4.5. The methodology used a semi-quantitative natural order of magnitude scale
(similar to a natural logarithmic scale).
As environmental values are subjective and difficult to measure, this scale is helpful as it
provides a significant step up between consequences – each subsequent level has to be
clearly higher than the previous level. This approach is useful as it aided agreement of
level of impact despite being qualitative in nature.
The highest rating in a category for a cell drove the overall rating for that cell. Only the
highest rating value for each category in a cell was displayed on the output.
Figure 4.5 Overall guidelines for environmental consequence ratings
The species value category can be used as an example of how the scale works. For
species the following factors might result in a clear step up or down the scale: the
difference between threat ratings (e.g. Nationally Critical birds are a clear step up from
Nationally Endangered birds); the importance of a site (e.g. a breeding spot is a clear
step up from normal habitat range); or the difference in impact (e.g. dissolving oil are a

While the other value categories have different overall guidelines and the specific factors
considered are different, the same logic and approach applied. The method for each
value category is described in more detail in Appendix D.

4.6.4 Environmental inputs into risk calculation

The environmental ratings for the shoreline and open water are combined with oil spill
probability to calculate overall risk. The environmental inputs are summarised below.
4.6.4.1 Shoreline
For the shoreline, the environmental ratings for each cell are provided in Appendix E.
4.6.4.2 Open water

Figure 4.6 below shows the overall environmental consequence ratings for open water
areas. Labels have been added to show the values that drove the Very High and High
rated open water areas. This can be explored in considerably greater detail via the web-
interface (http://mosra15.navigatusconsulting.com).

5. Framework for displaying risk profile

Given the large geographical area of the risk profile, the model is based upon a
geospatial framework. This enables the location of sources of oil, hazards, transport
factors and sensitivity (and, hence, risk) to be properly accounted for in the model.
Although probability is calculated using a quantitative model and risk is determined semi-
quantitatively, the sensitivity, presence, and risk is best communicated visually. This
allows users to immediately process information as the colour communicates relative
level or intensity for the various metrics.
5.1 Shoreline
The shoreline profile uses the system developed for MOSRA10 (~20km shoreline cells).
The width (distance from shore) is nominally
Figure 5.1 Example of shoreline risk profile
10km. The 10km distance was simply to
enable visualisation, as opposed to
representing the true seaward extent of
impact. The actual shoreline-to-open water
extent was limited to the potential for oil to
effect the littoral environment and
immediately associated ecosystems and
features.
Figure 5.1 shows an example of how the

shoreline framework was applied at the
Chatham Islands – the image shows the
shoreline risk profile for each of the shoreline
cells. That is, the effect of oil spill combined
with the likelihood of oil being present (the final step in the analysis).
5.2 Open water
For open water, a separate geospatial framework was required to allow locational
information related to environmental sensitivity and risk to be preserved and displayed.
This is a framework based on a 10km hexagon. Figure 5.2 shows the hexagonal grid and
Figure 5.3 shows how they are displayed in the web output.
The area analysed covers an approximately 400,000 km2 area centred on New Zealand.
This area reaches approximately 200km beyond any part of the main islands4.
MOSRA15 did not analyse the whole of the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone (NZ
EEZ) due to the complexity of the oil spill analysis (if using a grid big enough to
encompass the whole NZ EEZ), vessel activity tending to be limited to specific areas,
and as there is a natural reduction in risk with distance from ports and maritime activity.

The Latitude and Longitude of the reference point of the area (North West corner) is 32.0167
South, 165.4394 East

Figure 5.4 below indicates the area considered by MOSRA15 compared to the NZ EEZ,
with vessel track information displayed. While 63% (by area) of the NZ EEZ was
analysed by MOSRA15, an overview analysis undertaken comparing the MOSRA15
area to the whole NZ EEZ area determined the difference in total risk to be less than 1%.
This indicates that the majority of significant activities and features, and hence risk, of
the NZ EEZ were captured by the MOSRA15 analysis.

5.3 Vessel information
As described in Section 4.4, locations of oil sources (vessels / rigs etc.) were modelled to
determine the location of potential sources of risk. Images of AIS tracks supplied by MNZ
were converted and uploaded to the MOSRA database. These can be viewed via the
web interface.
Figure 5.5 shows an example of the AIS information supplied by MNZ. Figure 5.6 shows
an example of how AIS information (see Figure 5.5) was reflected in the MOSRA15
model.

6. Results
This results section provides an overview of the findings of MOSRA15. The amount of
information available could be overwhelming so only a select few results have been
presented in this report. Additional results are available in the appendices and outputs
can also be explored in more detail via the web interface.
6.1 Type of results available

available in Appendix A.
6.2 Sector analysis
This section describes the estimated oil pollution risk for each marine sector in
New Zealand.
Two methods were used in MOSRA15 to determine the sector contributions to

New Zealand’s pollution risk: the impact to the New Zealand shoreline-basis; and
separately, impact to the open-water-basis. This separation is the result of there being
no defined relationship between the relatively well-understood impact of oil on the
shoreline and the social value of that, compared to the less well understood impact of oil
in the open water area. Also the impact at the shoreline includes species, cultural
significance, economics, habitats and social activities, whereas for the open water only
species and habitats were considered. This was a major extension over the previous
MOSRA projects that only considered the shoreline impact. Results from the two
methods are shown in Table 6.1.
6.2.1 Outputs
The sector contribution results are given in the table below.
Table 6.1 Oil Pollution Risk Sector Contribution by Marine Sector as determined by the analysis.
Sector Contributions
Sector Shoreline Impact Basis Open Water Basis
Foreign Tankers 60.6% 71.3%
Domestic Tankers 19.6% 11.4%
Foreign Passenger and Cargo 9.4% 12.7%
Domestic Passenger and Cargo Vessels 9.4% 3.1%
NZ Fishing Vessels 0.9% 1.5%
Production Installations 0.03% 0.11%
6.2.2 Discussion of outputs

Overall, the foreign tankers sector contributed the largest proportion to oil spill risk, both
for the shoreline and for open water.
When comparing the outputs for the shoreline and open waters, domestic vessels have a
higher proportion of shore-line risk compared to in open water. Conversely, foreign
vessels have a higher proportion of influence in open water. The shipping lanes of each
vessel can explain this result, as domestic vessels operate close to the shoreline and
visit a higher number of ports. Foreign vessels, on the other hand, largely transit further
from land and so have a greater effect in open water.
21
6.2.3 Sector comparison to 2012 sector analysis

The sector proportions in the new model differ from previous risk assessments and
sector analysis produced in 2012, although it is important to note that the sector analysis
is a relative measure.
There have been notable apparent increases in the risk, and hence the percentage
contributions, for tankers and to a lesser extent, a lowering for foreign passenger and
cargo. Due the relative nature of the sector analysis, the increases in the tanker levels
also result in a decrease in the percentage for production installations and foreign
passenger and cargo. Additionally, the level of risk created by the current offshore oil
and gas production activity is lower than calculated in 2012.
Inspection of the results as well as the many input factors and analysis methodology
revealed the following factors are material to the differences observed:
u Cargo compositions:
The proportions of tanker cargo oil by type were not available for the 2012
analysis and so assumptions were made. Actual cargo information for the
proportion of persistent and non-persistent oil is now known having been supplied
by the industry. MOSRA15 includes this information and the relative proportions
between the oil types are notably different.
u Temperature and Current:

MOSRA15 models the effect of differing seawater temperature across the New
Zealand latitudes as well as the differing ocean drift. This is a significant advance
over the MOSRA04/MOSRA10 analysis methodology that did not model current
and assumed one water temperature. For some areas, i.e. around the Taranaki
Bight, the currents tends to set to the south so spilled oil would tend (on the
balance of probabilities) to drift towards Cook Strait.
u Navigational hazard rating:

For MOSRA15 an expert panel was used to determine the level of navigational
hazard for areas around New Zealand. Factors considered were activity density,
physical shoreline characteristics, and environmental conditions. These values
were incorporated in the accident probabilities to better model the probability of a
spill. MOSRA10, on the other hand, only considered activity level – and in a
simpler way.
u Relative proportions of other sectors:

An increase or decrease in risk of other sectors has a notable effect on the
relative percentage contributions of other sectors. These changes come from the
advanced modelling of navigational hazard values, environmental values, and
vessel routes, but most notably from now having actual data on oils being carried
by the tankers.
Other factors that contribute to the difference are:
u Advances in modelling: Although probably less material to the differences in

results, a number of improvements were made in MOSRA15 over earlier
analysis. These include:
w Distance from shore: MOSRA10 used a simplification for vessel distance by

region.
w Knowledge of ship tracks: AIS data was used in MOSRA15 for determining
vessel routes. This was not available to MOSRA04 and 10.
w Types of oil: All oil types have been treated and analysed separately
throughout the model. Again, this is an advance over MOSRA 04 and 10.
w Offshore Modelling: Greater detail was used in the model for well leakage by
separating out ‘oil’ and ‘gas condensate’ wells and pipelines.
u Updated input values: Updated environmental values and new inputs for
shipping routes since previous MOSRA.

Figure 6.4 below shows the shoreline and open water risk profiles for Cook Strait. The
highest risk areas are at the ports and in Cook Strait itself. This finding differs somewhat

6.4 Shoreline results comparison to MOSRA10
Given that MOSRA10 produced a risk profile for the shoreline only, direct comparison
with MOSRA15 can only be made for the shoreline. Note that sector differences are
discussed in Section 6.2.3.
Nationally, the most notable change is that areas of high traffic density or activity, and
areas where navigational hazards are higher, generally rate higher relative to other areas
in MOSRA15 than in MOSRA10. This can be explained by the more advanced
consideration of the factors that create navigational risk. The key advances have been:
u More advanced and precise modelling of sea currents: Currents play a

dominant role in determining the movement and distribution of an oil spill.
u Modelling of sea temperature: MOSRA04 and 10 assumed one temperature
across of the whole of New Zealand. MOSRA15 applies three differing
temperatures. Temperature has a significant effect on oil transport following a
spill.
u More advanced and precise modelling of the effect of wind.
With regard to specific areas of changed risk profile, the risk level for the east coast of
Northland stands out as being generally lower than that calculated by MOSRA10.
Figure 6.7 Risk profile for Northland in Mosra10 and MOSRA15

MOSRA10 MOSRA15
The differences in risk level for the east coast of Northland can be explained by:
u More advanced modelling of navigational hazard values;

u Improved knowledge of vessel routes; and
u Changed amounts and types of oils being carried by the tankers.
6.5 Scenarios
The future trends in the marine industry were modelled as part of MOSRA15 to
determine the sensitivity of the risk profile to these changing trends. Consideration was
given to the changes in vessel size, transit numbers, and port visits which may occur in
the next five years to 2020.
The background and basis for the development of the scenario models was sourced
from a document titled Future Freight Scenarios Study (Ministry of Transport 2014). The
following key trends where considered when developing the four scenarios:
u The average size of vessels serving the New Zealand market has been
increasing over time (Consistent with international trends). This affects both large
and medium sized vessels. This increasing size is generally coupled with
decreasing number of transits in an effort to gain economies of scale.
u Foreign vessels will use key hub ports with domestic vessels and other modes of
transport used for completing the cargos transit.
u Some trade consolidation for foreign cargo movements at major ports in both
islands, namely Ports of Auckland, Port of Tauranga, Port of Napier, Port of
Lyttelton and Port Otago. This is due to physical limitations (channel depth and
vessel length) along with economic rational.
u For the near future, the maximum container ship size that may operate to
New Zealand would be Panamax or vessels up to 4,500 Twenty-foot Equivalent
Unit (TEU). Underpinning this is the release of a large number of these vessels
after the opening of the widened Panama Canal scheduled for 2015, which will
allow transit of a new class of Panamax vessels.
u In approximately 10 years there is a small probability that vessels up to 8000 TEU
may be making trips to New Zealand.
When modelling the four scenarios listed below, information from the Ministry of
Transport document provided guidance on expected increase in vessel size, and what
the consolidation of ports would mean for shipping activity. When matched with import
and export numbers from Statistics New Zealand (Statistics New Zealand 2015), this
provides a means of determining the changes in vessel transits. Changes in oil
production have been sourced from the energy and data modelling resource (Ministry of
Business Innovation and Employment 2014).
The four following scenarios were modelled to represent projected changing expected in
risk over the next five years to 2020.
1) Increased Vessel Sizes and Port Consolidation

This scenario considers an increase in vessel sizes and a corresponding decrease in
transits (for all vessels except domestic passenger vessels). In addition there is a
consolidation of port visits for foreign container vessels.
2) Explorations wells
This scenario considers volume and route information that is the same as the
baseline data but with a greater level of oil production and the addition 6 explorations
rigs operating for approx. 6 months of a given year.
29
3) Scenario 1 and 2 occurring at once

This scenario combines scenario 1 and 2. This reflects the notion that larger vessel
sizes could be operating while there is an unrelated increase in oil production along
with exploration drilling occurring.
4) Effects of another Global Financial Crisis

This scenario reflects the effects of the global financial crisis in 2008-2009 during
which vessel transits and oil production decreased due to lower trade.
6.5.1 Overall risk change for scenarios

The change in risk for each different scenario was compared to that of the current
modelling (i.e. the MOSRA15 results).
The two tables below show the change in overall risk over the next 5 years for each of
the four scenarios. Two different measures of risk were used:
u The first table shows the change in risk level based on volume independent risk
(probability x environmental value). This measure is most important when
considering the prevention of oil spills.
u The second table shows the change in risk level based on volume dependent
risk (total expected oil x environmental value). This measure is most important
when considering the size of oil spill and required response resources.
The tables below, showing both measures of risk, display the same trend for each
scenario, although the volume dependent risk measure (second table) indicates the
greater sensitivity.
Table 6.2 Changes in total risk for each scenario (volume independent risk)

4: GFC type event -4.0% -11%
Table 6.3 Changes in total risk for each scenario (volume dependent risk)
Scenario Shoreline Impact Open Water

Basis Basis

4: GFC type event -13% -17%
As per Table 6.2 and Table 6.3, Scenario 1 (an increase in vessel size with a reduction
in transits) has considerably higher overall risk compared to the current situation.
Scenario 2 (increase in oil production along with the addition of exploration wells) has
little impact on overall risk of oil spill. If in 5 years an event similar to the GFC occurred,
the overall oil spill risk would decrease.
6.5.2 Change in sector contributions

The sector analysis was repeated for each scenario to show how the proportions
between each sector change for the different scenarios.
The tables below show the contribution of each sector to overall risk for each scenario
for the shoreline (first table) and open water (second table).

The graphs below show the change in the contribution of each vessel type compared to
the current sector contributions for scenarios (e.g. the scenario contribution minus the
baseline contribution as shown in the Table 6.2 and Table 6.3).
For example, the graph below shows the biggest change in sector contribution for
shoreline impact would be the increase in the contribution of domestic cargo and
passenger vessels under the global financial crisis scenario.

6.5.3 Scenario results summary

The overall risk and proportion of sector contributions for each scenario are summarised
below in comparison to the current situation (i.e. compared to the MOSRA15 results).
1) Increased vessel sizes and port consolidation
w For both the shoreline and open water, overall risk increases under this
scenario. The increase in risk is as much as 21% more than the current
situation when measured based on total expected oil and environmental
value.
w Of the total risk, foreign tankers and domestic cargo and passenger vessels
would contribute a slightly higher proportion than under the current situation,
while domestic tankers and foreign cargo and passenger vessels would
contribute proportionately less.
2) Explorations wells
w For this scenario, the overall risk for both shoreline and open water is very
similar to that of the current situation.
w The proportion each sector contributes to risk is also very similar to the current
situation.
w Further analysis for this scenario indicates that exploration activity risk
equates to approximately 3% of current offshore risk (shoreline impact basis)
and 33% of current offshore risk (open water impact basis).
3) Scenarios 1 and 2 occurring at once
w Scenario 3 has very similar results to Scenario 1 (because the added effect of
Scenario 2 is small).
4) Effects of another Global Financial Crisis type event
w For both the shoreline and open water, overall risk under this scenario
decreases compared to the current situation. When measuring risk using total
expected oil and environmental value, risk decreases by 13% for the shoreline
and by 17% for the open water.
w Of the total risk, domestic cargo and passenger vessels would contribute a
higher proportion than under the current situation, while foreign vessels and
domestic tankers would contribute proportionately less.

Appendix A - Web based interface
MOSRA 15 Appendix
Appendix A Web Browser Interface
This appendix describes the web browser interface used to communicate the complex
and extensive information produced by the MOSRA15 analysis.
Page A1
1 Web browser interface

Given the advanced form of the MOSRA15 analysis and significant increase in
complexity and volume of data, as well as a considerable increase in available
information produced, communicating its meaning can be difficult in written form.
A web-browser interface with an interactive graphical display offered the ideal vehicle to
communicate the risk profile despite the complexity. The web interface enables
enhanced investigation and interrogation of the many features and facets of the analysis
and risk profile. The web link is: www.mosra15.navigatusconsulting.com
The interactive web display was initially developed to enable the project team to view
and assess both the information used as inputs to the model (environmental information
and ratings, navigational hazards, vessels and other sources of oil, location, etc.) and the
outputs produced (probabilities, volumes, ratings and risks).
The display allows inspection and immediate access to the information that drives the
level of marine oil spill risk for each open water and shoreline area. Although not a
defined deliverable of the MOSRA15 project, the web interface enables greater and
more customisable viewing of results than the main report can. The interface should be
regarded as a valuable and complementary annex to the main report.
1.1 Instructions for use
The web interface is illustrated below (Figure 1.1) to explain the information available.
The web interface consists of a map of New Zealand combined with visualisations of the
open water and shoreline areas in the left hand frame, with specific information for the
selected open water or shoreline cell shown in the right hand frame.

1.2 Visualisations Available

analysis model
This appendix describes the categorisation of oil types considered within the MOSRA15
model.
Page B1
1 Categorisation of oil types

This section is derived from the original MOSRA system of oil categorisation with
advances to reflect the more advanced requirements of MOSRA15.
Following the methodology used in the 1998, 2004 and 2010 MOSRA studies,
MOSRA15 splits the types of oil handled in New Zealand into five categories that
represent the characteristics of each oil type when spilled on water. This categorisation
is based on the work of Allen & Dale (1997), which in turn was based on classification
systems used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and International
Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF).
The five categories are presented in Table 1. The ‘Group’, ‘SG’ and ‘Description’
headings were used in the previous MOSRA, “Class” was added to support the Pollution
Sector Analysis study in 2012, and ‘Fate’ has been added for the MOSRA15 analysis.

5

Page B2
In order to more accurately categorise the oils carried in New Zealand waters, some
variations were made against the SG scale. These include:
 All residues were included in Group IV even if the SG was less than 0.95.
Residue was ‘topped’ crude oil similar to fuel oil so was best represented by this
grouping.
 While some crude oils (both local and imported) have high pour points due to
their wax content, which can make spill characteristics worse, this was not used
to adjust the categorisation. In previous studies, the local crude oils (McKee
Blend and Maui F) were classified as Group IV. While their pour points were
relatively high, (10-200C) they are lower than some imported crude oils, so were
not deemed a special case. Both of the indigenous crude oils have a very low
residue percentage, despite the higher pour points.
Gas oil specifications (mainly in terms of cloud point) vary with time of year and delivery
location, but this should not significantly affect the fate and behaviour of this product in
the event of a marine spill. Marine gas oil (MGO) was not always available in
New Zealand, although it is now available at a limited number of locations. Other than
sulphur and cold properties, MGO is similar to AGO and therefore should behave in
similar fashion in the event of a marine spill.
2 Persistent and non-persistent oils

For the purposes of assessing environmental impacts, the persistence of the oil in the
marine environment was the main factor. As seen in Table 1, the oils were divided into
two classes: persistent and non-persistent.
In general, non-persistent oils are those that are more volatile and will evaporate and/or
disperse relatively quickly. They are also generally more toxic to marine life. Persistent
oils are denser, more likely to form oil-water emulsions, and are slower to disperse, but
generally have a smothering effect rather than being particularly toxic.
Importantly, it should be noted that there is no universally accepted definition of non-
persistent/persistent oils although ITOPF has developed the following definition for non-
persistent oils:
 At least 50% by volume distils at 3400C; and
 At least 95% by volume distils at 3700C.
This definition works well with refined products (up to AGO) being classified as non-
persistent along with condensates, while all crude oil and heavier products are
persistent. This split is similar to that used in shipping contracts where feedstocks and
products are classified as white (non-persistent) or black (persistent).
Page B3
3 Fate of spilled oils

Non-persistent oils generally dissolve and evaporate with the exception of condensates,
which also leave behind long chained hydrocarbons and waxes that float. This is
because condensates are natural products, so have a high variety of hydrocarbons
ranging from light (short chains) to heavy (long chains).
The persistent oils float with the exception of LFO and the very heavy fuel and bunker
oils. LFO acts much like condensates; it partially dissolves and evaporates leaving the
remaining longer chain hydrocarbons floating. The very heavy fuel and bunker oils have
a high SG causing them to sink in open water.

The rate of decay is calculated using a formula derived from a traditional half-life decay
equation. General sea temperature is accounted for by proportionally altering the decay
depending on the water regions of New Zealand (Atlas, 1981). Consideration of differing
temperature was a new development for MOSRA15. This development is important as
the speed at which oil decays has an effect on the time the oil can cause issues and how
far it can travel.

In the model, the volume of oil decreases at incremental distances from the source.
Once the calculated volume of oil has dropped to 0.1 tons (equivalent to the fuel tank of
a large road vehicle), it is considered to be non-existent in the area of open water.

4.1 Fate
MOSRA15 assumes dissolved oil will move with the currents, while floating oil is
assumed to move under the influence of both current and wind.
4.2 Toxicity
MOSRA15 assumes dissolving oils will affect the water column and be generally toxic to
marine life. Floating oils are assumed not to materially affect the water column but can
smother marine life. This was accounted for in the environmental assessment.
4.3 Persistence
The persistence of oil affects the decay rate after spillage. The model makes transport
assumptions based upon the type of oil spilt. Figure 3.1 illustrates this decay. A broad
allowance is made for water temperature (three bands of water temperature being
assumed). Persistence, together with volume spilt, are the dominant factors in
determining the extent of a spill.

Appendix C Wind, current, and temperature
This appendix describes how wind, current and temperature are accounted for in the
MOSRA model and presents example images of wind and current roses.

1 Introduction
Both the wind and currents in the open water around New Zealand contribute to the
dispersion of an oil spill. Data were collected from Climate Explorer (NIWA, 2015), the New
Zealand Tidal Streams Atlas (Hydrographic Office RNZN, 1993), and from an article on
oceanic circulation and hydrology around New Zealand (Heath, 1973), which represents the
typical distribution of wind or current speed and direction.
For the MOSRA analysis, the open water around New Zealand was allocated into regions
representing similar wind or current patterns that were represented by ether a wind or
current rose showing the velocity and probability at each of the 16 points of the compass.
The velocity of oil movement is determined from the following proportions of wind and
current velocities: V Current x 0.03 V Wind. The velocity of oil was calculated from all the possible
combinations of wind and current vectors to produce a probability for the different velocities
in all 16 compass directions for each wind and current region.
These velocities and probabilities are used in conjunction with the ‘oil persistence’ to
determine the ‘oil movement’ profile.

3 Wind and current rose

The following wind and current roses were used in the model in conjunction with other
factors to determine the movement of oil. When combined, the oil velocity is the velocity of
current plus 3% the velocity of the wind.
3.1 Wind rose
The wind roses shown below display the recorded wind patterns for each wind region. They
show a distribution of both speed and frequency for the wind in 16 directions. The wind roses
were constructed from data from the NIWA Climate Explorer database, which has wind
roses from points the length of the country.

3.2 Current Rose
Ocean currents around New Zealand have been shown in a similar way to the wind. Each
current affects 3 bearing directions, for example, for Current Region 1, 50% of the current is
in the East direction, with 25% in each of the East- Northeast and East- Southeast
Directions. The symbol points in the direction of the main current. The speed information has
been sourced from The New Zealand Tidal Stream Atlas (Hydrographic Office RNZN,
1993).The directions have been obtained from Heath (1973). Tidal currents have been
ignored as they have a negating effect over time.

2 Species Consequence Ratings

New Zealand is home to a large number of species, a high proportion of which are endemic
and threatened, that have value for ecological, social and economic reasons. The species
consequence rating captured the single species in a shoreline cell with the highest
consequence rating based on the importance of, and effect of, an oil spill on the species.
Multiple threatened species occurring in one cell did not result in a higher cell rating – the
ecological diversity of a site was captured in the habitats rating.
The effects of spills on animals and plants are widely described in scientific literature and are
summarised on Maritime New Zealand’s website (Maritime New Zealand, 2015). These
effects include:
 Initial oiling
 Internal damage from oil ingestion
 Toxic effects
 Decreased fertility
 Disturbance of ecosystems
Heavy oiling can have a major impact on animals and plants, although recovery (at a
population level) usually begins rapidly following removal of the heavy oiling. As knowledge
on the effects of oil spills on species has not changed significantly, this assessment relied on
the consideration of effects used in MOSRA10 (Navigatus Consulting, 2010). There are few
instances of major spills of dissolving oils so effects on animals and plants are less well
known. For vertebrates, the effects of dissolving oils were assessed as being one step lower.
For invertebrates, the effects were assessed as being one step higher, as dissolving oil can
have a major impact on invertebrates, particularly molluscs (Michel, Csulak, French, &
Sperduto, 1997; Moore, 2006). Table 2.1 includes further detail on anticipated effects for
different species types.
MOSRA15 considered animals and plants at a species level. Consequently, the higher the
threat ranking of a species, the higher the consequence ranking. Only threatened species
were considered (see Figure 2.1, modified from (Department of Conservation, 2015a)). Due
to the large number of threatened species in New Zealand, even ‘At Risk - Declining’ species
would have a consequence rating of Very Low or Low, so were excluded from the
assessment. This does not negate the animal welfare effect of an oil spill on even one
animal, regardless of whether it is threatened. MOSRA15 also excluded species for which
reliable distribution information could not be sourced (for instance, some subspecies, and
some threatened invertebrates).
Page D6
Figure 2.1 New Zealand Threat Classification System Categories
The rating scale was very similar to that used in MOSRA10. This is because the effects on
species have not changed, and the data sources used are in large part the same. Some
minor modifications were made to the scale to improve clarity and consistency in the rating.
There was some movement in the output due to reclassifications of threat rankings of many
species (particularly birds and invertebrates) since MOSRA10 was undertaken.
The ratings for dissolving oil, introduced in MOSRA15, mirror those for floating oils with an
adjustment either one step up the scale (for invertebrates) or one step down the scale (for all
other animals).
The following table summarises the values and main factors considered in setting the
consequence ratings for species. The main sources of distribution data are the National
Aquatic Biodiversity System (NABIS) (Ministry for Primary Industries, 2014) for all species,
as well as the Atlas of Bird Distribution in New Zealand for birds (Robertson, Hyvonen,
Fraser, & Pickard, 2007).

dissolving oils rated one step higher than floating oils.

invertebrates were rated lower than other species that had hotspots,

3 Habitats Consequence Ratings

Habitats are defined here as protected areas1. Habitats were included in the assessment as
they capture a number of values that may not be otherwise captured:
 Areas of ecological importance (e.g. a large assemblage of species or high density

of animals or plants)
 Areas protected for a special reason (e.g. to protect the habitat of a species or for
their international uniqueness)
 Reserves (for conservation, social or science purposes)
Habitats helped to capture the importance of conservation efforts and the unique, distinctive
or beautiful environmental values in particular areas, and the natural state of areas. The
effect on habitats depended on the particular factors within an area of value, however no
significant long term effects were anticipated for any of the habitats considered. All major
reserve types and protected areas were considered, including all marine protected areas,
coastal protected areas, and areas on New Zealand’s tentative World Heritage list.
The rating scale underwent minor adjustments to improve clarity and consistency in the
rating. For instance, marine parks were given a slightly lower rating than previously as
marine parks have less protection in place than other marine reserves and protected areas.
The table below summarises the values and main factors considered in setting the
consequence ratings for habitats. While the specific impacts of floating oil will be different to
dissolving oil, the overall impact was assessed to be similar, resulting in the same rating for
each oil type.

4 Social, Amenity, and Recreation Consequence Ratings

For measuring social, amenity and recreational values, MOSRA15 drew from the
methodology used in the report Mapping the Values of New Zealand’s Coastal Waters (Allen
et al., 2009). This was also used in MOSRA10. Social values are subjective and emergent
so mapping them accurately at a national level is difficult.
There is higher uncertainty in social, amenity and recreation than in some other value
categories (such as species and habitats). This is because the data used is more subjective.
For instance, the data sources singling out particularly important dive sites, must-dos, and
top beaches are all necessarily subjective. The overall effect of this subjectivity, and
therefore uncertainty, on the MOSRA15 outputs is reduced due to the relatively low ratings
for effect on most social, amenity and recreation value indicators.
New Zealand’s entire shoreline is considered socially important at a local level. While an oil
spill would be inconvenient and distressing, it would be unlikely to have lasting impacts on
social value indicators. For those reasons, most consequence ratings for social value
indicators were rated relatively low.
All major types of social, amenity and recreation activities undertaken on New Zealand’s
shoreline and shoreline waters were considered. These were boating, diving, recreational
fishing, and general beach usage. Shellfish gathering was considered under Culture and
Heritage.
The rating scale underwent some minor adjustments to improve clarity and consistency in
the rating.
Table 4.1 summarises the values and main factors considered in setting the consequence
ratings for social, amenity and recreation.

5 Culture and Heritage Consequence Ratings

The Crown has a duty to actively protect Māori rights and interests under Te Tirīti o
Waitangi 2 , which is a founding document of Government in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Consequently, integrating Māori cultural values into this national assessment is necessary
but is also potentially fraught due to the issues outlined below.
Generally, the importance of a cultural value is determined by the groups involved in that
locale. Groups in different locales may rate similar features differently and consequently
there is no nationally consistent rating of cultural values. Additionally, some sites of cultural
importance may not be disclosed before an oil spill for fear of disturbance.
Cultural impact assessments regarding the Rena oil spill (prepared by local groups) give
some indication of relevant cultural values. All assessments refer to:
 Taio (environment)
 Tikanga (customs and traditions)
 Kaimoana (seafood), and
 Mana (prestige)
A majority of the assessments also refer to:
 Kaitiaki/Kaitiakitanga (guardianship)
 Mauri (life force)
 Rangatiratanga (chieftainship) 3
 Specific shoreline features in the locality
These cultural values have been used to help identify the following features of the shoreline
to use as proxies for cultural value, given the lack of a nationally consistent data sources.
Taiapure, Mātaitai: The Crown affords these important tools to Māori in recognition of
requirements under Te Tirīti o Waitangi and to acknowledge that Māori, as tangata whenua,
are entitled to have rangatiratanga over their fisheries. Taiapure, translated literally as "a
coastal patch" is an area of special significance to local iwi4 or hapū5, either as a source for
kaimoana6 or for spiritual reasons. Mātaitai are similar but are the result of reallocation of
resources under the Quota Management System. The Ministry for Primary Industries NABIS
service identifies these areas.
Kaimoana: This assessment used a report that maps the values of coastal waters (Allen et
al., 2009) to identify kaimoana gathering areas (locations identified by shellfish gathering
areas and shellfish water quality monitoring locations). While every part of the New Zealand
shoreline has the potential for kaimoana collection, this method allowed only the most
heavily used shoreline areas to be identified and indicated as important at a national (rather
than local) level.

3 Rangatiratanga: Chieftainship, self-determination
4 Iwi: Tribe
5 Hapū: Sub-tribe
6 Kaimoana: Seafood
Page D12
Other Locations: Cape Reinga, nearby Spirits Bay, and the Treaty Grounds at Waitangi are
identified as being of recognised national cultural value due to their spiritual and historical
significance.
The other values (e.g. species, habitats) mapped in this assessment were attributed a
consequence rating based on the significance of the value and the likely effect of an oil spill.
That process could not be applied to Māori cultural values because both the intrinsic value
and the impact of an oil spill on such values are for local people to decide. Consequently, all
proxies for Māori cultural values were given a rating of “High” to allow them to be considered
in the assessment without making assumptions about the relative importance of one cultural
value compared to another.
Thus, the proxies for Māori cultural values influenced the overall assessment of which parts
of the shoreline were most sensitive to oil spills. In turn, this will influence the allocation of Oil
Spill Pollution Levies (e.g. between commercial shipping, commercial fishing etc.). The total
amount of levies is set by other processes. Bringing Māori cultural values into this
assessment will ensure those activities that have higher potential consequence for Māori
cultural values will pay a greater share of the levy.
This assessment plays no part in the tactical response. Maritime New Zealand is committed
to working closely with Māori on matters such as marine oil spills by: working with regional
councils to ensure that iwi are consulted on contingency planning and response through
regional marine oil spill contingency plans; Involving, as appropriate, iwi authorities and iwi in
oil spill responses; and taking steps to address Māori interests identified through these
processes.7
The table below summarises the values and main factors considered in setting the
consequence ratings for culture and heritage. The proxies for Māori cultural values were
given high ratings so they could be considered without making assumptions about the
relative importance of one compared to another.

6 Economic Consequence Ratings

MOSRA15 considered those economic features found to be significant in the MOSRA10
analysis:
 Aquaculture
 Ports
 Fisheries
 Tourism
Recreation and biodiversity economic losses were assumed to be covered under species
and habitat ratings. Cleaning and restoration costs were not considered as the Oil Pollution
Levy already provides for them.
The highest rating is for a cell loss is 81 million (approximately 0.036% of New Zealand’s
nominal GDP). Table 6.1 shows the economic consequence scale for all effects.
Table 6.1 Economic consequence scale
Value Measure Floating / Dissolving

All ratings Rank (Scale)
Estimated economic loss of $81M + 5 (Very High)
Estimated economic loss of $27M - $81M 4 (High)
Estimated economic loss of $9M - $27M 3 (Medium)
Estimated economic loss of $3M - $9M 2 (Low)
Estimated economic loss of < $3M 1 (Very Low)
The methodology used to estimate an approximate economic loss in each cell was
determined by the data available. The approach for each value type is outlined in the
following subsections.
There was a change in the scale of economic effects to align with scale used in risk
calculations. In MOSRA15, the highest rating was an estimated economic loss over $81
million, while in MOSRA10 it was an estimated economic loss over $100 million.
Page D14
6.1 Aquaculture and spat collection
1.1.1.1 Aquaculture
Oil spills can have a severe impact on aquaculture (IPIECA, 2000). Dissolved oils were
expected to have a greater effect on aquaculture, as mussels and oysters are filter feeders
and salmon accumulate petroleum hydrocarbons due to their high fat content (ITOPF, 2010).
Dissolved oils are also more likely enter the water column to reach oysters, mussels and
salmon (Lawrence & Hemingway, 2003). The analysis assumed there would be a loss of 24
months revenue for all aquaculture activities for dissolving oils, and 6 months for floating oils.
An average output multiplier of 1.8 was used for all aquaculture activities (Enveco Ltd, 2010;
Irvine, Robinson, & Carboni, 2007; Murray & McDonald, 2010; Wyatt, 2011). The assumed
amount lost would be due to direct loss of crop, or because of concerns about tainting
delaying harvesting or resulting in the dumping of crop, or the need for additional processing
of crop.
The tables below show how the economic amount associated with aquaculture industries in
New Zealand were calculated.

1.1.1.2 Spat collection

Both floating and dissolving oils are likely to have an impact on mussel spat as it is often
located in shallow or intertidal waters (A C Alfaro, Jeffs, Gardner, Breen, & Wilkin, 2011).
The mussel industry is highly dependent on wild caught spat (over 80% of mussel spat is
wild caught) (Andrea C. Alfaro, 2001).

6.2 Ports
The majority of the economic impact of an oil spill at a port arises from commercial cargo
delays, with loss of cruise ship passenger expenditure and wage expenses making up a
much smaller amount. The Auckland port costs have been used to estimate a cost per
million (by value of goods shipped) (Covec, 2008; Market Economics Limited, 2013; Ministry
of Transport, n.d.; New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, n.d.). The breakdown of losses
assumed for floating oil is outlined in Table 6.5 – these carried through from the MOSRA10
analysis (Navigatus Consulting, 2010).
This Auckland figure was used to estimate the economic loss for other ports, based on
nominal value of goods shipped at each port. This approach assumes numbers of cruise
ships, passenger and crew expenditure and wages at other ports occurs in the same
proportion to the value of goods shipped as at Auckland. The tables below show how the
Auckland figure, and other port figures, were calculated. The analysis for dissolving oil did
not find the effect of dissolving oil on any port to be above Very Low13.

6.3 Fisheries
MOSRA15 considered the following fisheries:
 Paua
 Oysters
 Cockles
 Rock lobsters
 Snapper
As with aquaculture, cockles have an impact factor of 2 (i.e. 2 years) for dissolving oils
(Minstry for Primary Industries, 2002). Paua, lobsters, oysters and snapper have a longer
impact factor of 4 (Statistics New Zealand, 2003; Walsh et al., 2011). All fisheries have an
impact factor of 0.5 for floating oil. The table below shows an example of how the economic
amount of a fishery was calculated for a cell.

this is still the most recent and reliable data available at the detail required for the analysis
(Department of Conservation, 2005, 2006b; Navigatus Consulting, 2010). The table below

7 Open water consequence

The assessment for environmental consequence in the open sea found that the only
significant resources were species and habitats. This was because other resources, such as
economic effects from fishing, were thought to have only minor effects due to the wide
distribution of the fishery or other resource.
Table 7.1 below shows the environmental consequence ratings for resources in the sea
cells. Table 7.2 modifies these ratings based on how many cells a value measure covers.
This adjusts the score for how great the impact will be. The concept was that the potential
long-term consequence on a species or habitat depends to an extent on whether it is
concentrated or widely dispersed.

Some of the environmental results are presented in the main body of the report. The
following results provide additional insight into the environmental consequence outputs.
Comprehensive results for shoreline cells are provided in Appendix E.
The figures below show the overall ratings for each value category, results for floating oil are
shown on the top row, and for dissolving oil on the bottom row. For floating oil, species had
the highest proportion of very high ratings, while social, amenity and recreation values have
ratings higher than moderate. For dissolving oil, species had lower ratings, while economic
had higher ratings when compared to floating oils.

8.1 Overall environmental consequence ratings and comparison to

MOSRA10
Given the impact of floating and dissolving oils was a new feature for MOSRA; a revised
environmental valuation methodology was required. As a result, the profile of ratings across
cells in MOSRA15 differed somewhat from that seen in MOSRA10. The difference is shown
in Figure 8.3. The key difference is that a higher proportion of cells were rated ‘High’.

2. Introduction
The following graphs have been produced for a selection of shoreline cells that were
determined to be of ‘high risk’. These cells cover six areas around the New Zealand
shoreline. The location and associated data can be inspected by selecting each cell on the
interactive website.
For each selected ‘high risk’ shoreline cell a selection of relevant vessel types are displayed.
The two types of graphs shown in each case are:
 Probability Oil is Present in Cell for Vessel Type

The first graph for each selected shoreline cell shows the probability of each class of oil
being present in that shoreline area caused by a spill from that vessel type. The y axis
shows the probability of oil being present in the area for a spill greater than (or equal to) the
spill size indicated on the x axis. This gives the graph its distinctive shape of decreasing
probabilities of a given volume or greater of oil being present in the shoreline area with
increasing spill sizes.
 Expected Oil – Time Weighted Volume per year for Vessel Type
The second graph for each selected shoreline cells shows the expected oil in the shoreline
cell from a spill involving the highlighted vessel type. ‘Expected oil’ is a time-weighted
measure for the volume of oil predicted in the selected shoreline area (in units of per year),
measured in tonnes. The y axis shows the expected oil in that area at each spill size range
indicated on the x axis. The total amount of oil in the shoreline cell in terms of volume is
weighted to spills of greater sizes occurring from the indicted vessel type.
