The objective of the survey was to begin a process of stakeholder engagement and consultation including engaging stakeholders and focuses on four areas: Financial terms and obligations; Environmental management terms and obligations; Health and safety and maritime security; General considerations – stakeholder communication and transparency.

The responses from the relevant stakeholders including individuals and institutions to the Survey are now available online.
