Recommendations are established through six
demonstration projects all focusing prevention
and responding in some aspects
Extract elements for harmonisation and policy
recommendations
Risk prevention and responding to incidents
13
Demo A includes inventory, classification and
risk assessment of oil transport in the North Sea
region

• Main deliverables
• Database of oil transports in the southern part
  of the North Sea
• Classification system for crude oil
  environmental behaviour and toxicity
• Risk assessment studies high risk areas

14
Demo B aims to combine AIS data with a tool for
risk assessment of navigational safety

• Main deliverables
• Gather and present AIS data throughout the region
• A fast time numerical integrator (prediction of
  collision and grounding)
• Evaluate the risk reducing effect of aids to
  navigation
• Improved decision support for investments in AtoN

15
Demo C aims to harmonise methodology and
guidelines for emergency preparedness
arrangements

• Main deliverables
• Rules for classification of sensitive areas
• Rules for emergency preparedness arrangements
  (including depots and places of refugee)
• Rules for operational decision making

16
Demo D aims to grow new knowledge on the risks
associated with offshore wind farm development

• Main deliverables
• Extend existing risk models to include offshore
  wind farms and to include GIS-based decision
  making
• Retrieve current and forecasted traffic density
• Scenarios of growth in offshore wind farms
• Demonstrate use of AIS in providing warnings to
  shippers
• Develop planning and approval framework

17
Demo E aims to develop new Incident Management
Systems (IMS) to support Marine Rescue
Coordination Centres (MRCC)

• Main deliverables
• IMS prototype that combines data from different
  sources to identify dangerous situations and to
  make informed decisions on how to handle these
  situations

18
Demo F aims to grow knowledge about safety
measures for small and high speed crafts in the
North Sea area

• Main deliverables
• Recommendations regarding safety and preparedness
  for small boats including leisure crafts
