Transnational Maritime Safety Projects within European Maritime Policy
Maritime SafetyUmbrella Operation
“Co-operating to create, maintain and implement a
safer maritime environment”
MSUO: The Goal
• 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
An INTERREG cross programme enhancement that assists Maritime Safety projects by:

Umbrella Outcomes
• Communication of Information- between projects- national, European and international level
• Project to Project Cooperation- Prevention- Preparedness and Response- Integration
• Project Development

Motorways or the Sea
Contribute to:• Internal Market
• economic competitiveness
• balanced and sustainable development
• economic and social cohesion
Maritime Coastal Areas
Linkages to INTERREG
•Strategic level
•Administration
• Information systems
•Safety and security measures
•Network should connect at least two ports in two member states
•Strategic level
•Water and coastal management;
• Improving accessibility, advanced communications and information technologies;
•Risk prevention, incl. maritime safety;
•Encouraged bilateral maritime co-operation (distance above 150 km) on a wider range of topics
Motorways of the Sea (TEN-T)
Provide facilities and infrastructure:
Transnational/ Cross-Border (2007-13)
Integrated territorial development:
Resource & Activity Identification/ Monitoring
Port
Amenity Beaches & Bathing Waters
Saltmarsh & Mudflat(SPA, Ramsar, etc.) Marina & Fishing Harbour
Seabird colony (SPA)
Sensitive Marine Site (SAC)
Offshore fisheries
Sand and Gravel Extraction
Sailing
Possible Wind farm
Jetski & Windsurfing
Shipping Route
Risk Assessment Other Factors:Seasonality (activity and weather)Cargo type/ volume (pollution)Operation Risks (fire, explosion, crew error, structural failure)
Wildlife Disturbance
Stakeholder Conflict
Grounding
Collision
Grounding & Collision
Habitat Damage
Amenity Loss
Economic Loss
Loss of Life?
Risk Management & Prevention Spatial and temporal zoning
Relocation
Rerouting
Traffic separation
Refuge Areas
(AIS & VTMS)
Institutional Preparedness & Response
At Sea Response & SAR PlansPort Oil Spill PreparednessShoreline Response Plans incl:
- habitat/ sensitivity mapping- priorities- protection strategy (booms)- clean up strategy- waste disposal
Future Project Goals• “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 kept informed
Future Role of MSUO
1. Assist Project Development to ensure “Strategy”, “Eligibility”, “Compatibility” and “Responsibility”
2. Develop New PPCs in cooperation with projects to provide and disseminate information between projects & close gaps in knowledge
3. Disseminate outcomes International and European levels (IMO, OSPAR, Bonn, HELCOM, EMSA, etc.)
Marine/Coastal Area Spatial Development
Continuous, pro-active and adaptive process of resource management for sustainable development of marine, sea and coastal areas. The process provides a mechanism for bringing together the multiplicity of users, stakeholders, and decision-makers in order to secure more effective ecosystem management whilst achieving economic development.
Should seek to strengthen and harmonize sectoral management and spatial planning using tools such as: ICZM, EIA, Contingency Planning, etc.
• Share experience and outcomes to ensure a safer marine environment with no duplication of effort
• Use MSUO to ensure ´Strategy, Eligibility, Compatibility and Responsibility
• Develop new projects for the future (2007-2013)
• Link Proposed Projects to Risk Assessment/Prevention (Maritime Safety) and Management of Water & Coastal Areas (marine policy) under new Programme

Maritime Safety: A Definition
Activities that seek to save human life, ensure the safety of ships and cargo, protect the marine environment and safeguard the maritime economic and social assets communities depend upon
Motorways of the Sea
• implementing and developing the Internal Market;
• economic competitiveness;• balanced and sustainable development;• re-enforcing economic and social cohesion, and;
ensuring interconnection and interoperability.
Sea based transport routes that are a “real competitive alternative to land transport” and which contribute to the Trans European Transport Network (TEN-T) as a major element in:
Groundings32%
Hull Failure11%
Fire & Explosion
