Maritime Safety Management in the High North

Tildelt: kr 9,2 mill.

The High North represents new environmental conditions setting new safety design requirements where statistics and experience are limited, and where known solutions accordingly can not be applied without thorough evaluations and research activities. In th is complex environment R&D programs need to include both aspects of energy, climate change as well as safety and international politics, and the frontiers of the pertinent technologies for these interdisciplinary issues do not reside within one organisati on only. The MarSafe North focus is on Safety Management utilizing advanced Communication and Surveillance technologies in the High North, i.e. the Arctic area - including the Barents Sea. The project will investigate research challenges associated wi th focusing on the Norwegian challenges with respect to geography and economic activity in the Nordic and arctic regions. The vast geographic distances and the economic importance of activities at sea and in remote areas demand novel innovative radio-bas ed solutions for efficient safety management. In the area of technology, the consortium has already identified three areas where targeted research is needed to realise a vision of safe and secure maritime operations in the arctic: - Environmental Surveil lance and Sensing. - Arctic Communications. - Radionavigation and tracking. The need for advanced surveillance and broadband radio communications with extremely high data rates (several Mbps) is and will be needed by all types of activities in this vast area, the most important being: - Monitoring of climatic changes. - The governments need for environmental surveillance. - Oil and gas offshore activities. - Traffic control and monitoring. - Fisheries, including resource investigations and protection. - The Coastguards need for defeating environmental crime and other illegal activities, such as fishing. - The activity of the Norwegian Marine and Air Force. - Coastal water activities
