The APGA Security & Integrity Foundation (SIF) Simple Handy, Risk-based Integrity Management Plan (SHRIMP) tool has a fresh new look! The SHRIMP tool is an online tool that operators of gas distribution systems can use to create a written Distribution Integrity Management Plan (DIMP). Visit http://apgasif.org/sif-tools/shrimp-dimp/ to check it out!

The new platform was designed to make the tool easier to use and navigate with an enhanced user interface. The approach to threat evaluation and risk modeling has remained unchanged from SHRIMP 3.0. All finalized plans from the existing SHRIMP platform and data from the most recent DIMP update were migrated over. Further improvements to the tool and new features will be added over the next several years.

Recorded webinars that highlight the enhanced features in the new platform can be found on the SIF website at http://apgasif.org/sif-tools/shrimp-dimp/shrimp-user-webinars/. For questions about the new platform or if you would like to learn more about using the SHRIMP tool, please contact info@apgasif.org.

The APGA SIF thanks several SHRIMP users for sharing their time and knowledge during the platform development. The SIF also thanks RCP, Inc. for their expertise in creating the new SHRIMP 4.0 platform.
