MSUO The Goal
An INTERREG based in Viborg Denmark , cross
programme enhancement that assists Interreg
Maritime Safety projects by

• Providing a European and International Network
  for co-operation on maritime safety
• Promoting project outcomes to establish Europe
  and partners at the forefront of maritime safety
  activity
• Increasing project competence in maritime safety
  by closing gaps in knowledge and encouraging
  cooperation
• Assisting programmes to become a collective
  driving force for maritime safety on the European
  and international agenda

Project Development PPC

• A task made by Maritime Governance and
  Technology Consortium and a huge number of
  projects ideac yet identified and collected
• Objectives and Outputs
• - Phase 1
• Identify maritime themes for new programme period
• Identify potential partners
• Identify transnational areas for undertaking
  projects
• Produce Phase 1 report
• Phase 2
• review project themes against Transnational
  programme guidance issued by DG Regio
• Identify which project themes are suitable for
  funding
• Suggest funding methods
• Produce Phase 2 report

12
Linkages to Future Transnational Funding ?
Territorial Cooperation Transnational /
MaritimeCross-Border programme(2007-13)

• Integrated territorial development
• Strategic projects
• Water and coastal management
• Improve access to and quality of transport and
  telecommunication services
• Risk prevention, incl. maritime safety
• Encouraged bilateral maritime co-operation
  (distance above 150 km) on a wider range of
  topics .Maritime Cross Border Cooperation.

13
New Transnational Funding ? Transnational /
Cross-Border (2007-13) a real opportunity for the
Maritime projects and new regulations for funding
them.

• Proposals for Funding Projects
• Current Maritime Projects Average Euro 3-8
  Million.The next programme it will be more.
• 50- 75 ERDF Funding
• 20 Transprogramme New !
• 10 Outside EU New !

14
Future Project Requirements

• Strategy High level projects which deliver
  maritime safety improvements
• Eligibility Ensure Interreg projects meet
  eligibility criteria of Programmes (development
  and operational phases)
• Compatibility Use IMO, European and national
  sources (conventions, directives, legislation,
  regulations and guidance), as starting point
  to ensure compatibility of project with existing
  maritime governance (http//www.imo.org/home.asp)
• Responsibility ensure Regional Organisations
  and Competent National Authorities, European
  Authorities (e.g. OSPAR, HELCOM, Bonn, MARPOL
  73/78, OPRC 90, EMSA) are involved and / or
  support projects.

MSUO a partner for the North Sea Commission and
the Baltic Sea Commission

• A new territorial Cooperation Programme
• A huge growth of Maritime transport in The North
  Sea and The Baltic Sea
