Baltic Master WP2 SeminarSafe Transportation at Sea

Kalmar, 13-14 June,2006

Maritime Institute in Gdańsk is the Leader of WP2 of Baltic Master Project: SAFE TRANSPORTATION AT SEA

Strategic focus of WP2:

Preventive measures to avoid accidentsrelated to the increase of transportationof oil and other hazardous goods in the BSR.

WP2- main outputs

• Improved safety in BSR- report on PSSA and APM’s- regional and local perspectives

• Report and workshops concerning monitoring system

• Seminaries and think-tanks- important role of World Maritime University

• Vision of PSSA 2020

• Action list for the regions

• Action plan for the BSR

WP2- Major mechanisms

WP2 Final Report will cover PSSA/APM’s and other elements.

- Traffic separation/ Routing- Areas to be avoided- No anchoring areas- Ship reporting systems (including Automatic Identification System AIS)- results from Maritime Traffic Monitoring Report- Ice/winter navigation- Discharge restrictions - Maps of areas endangered by oil spills- Places of refuge on the Baltic Sea Area- legal status, designation etc. - Baltic Sea-wide concept of harbours for ships in distress- Requirements on vessels

Risk for oil spills for gulf of Gdańsk- summer/winterMaritime Institute in Gdańsk’ analysis

SUMMER WINTER

Major WP2 mechanisms (continued)

- Dangerous goods report (examination of routes of transportation of dangerous goods, Vision of dangerous goods transport in view of PSSA – monitoring of vessels within Exclusive Economic Zones- Collision and grounding model for ship collision and grounding probability- Reaction plans for accidents and oils spills - Hydro-meteorological information- Identification of hazards for future Formal Safety Assessments – systematic process for assessing risks and evaluating IMO options for reducing risks.- Traffic intensity forecast- Forecast of traffic level, detailed statistics of trafficAPM’s Assesment Process:Routes- Variant developmentAccident Risk AssessmentPollution Risk AssessmentSocio-Economic Assessment

Objectives

Definition of objectives for implementation of APM mechanisms, development of indicators of

effectiveness of implementation of APM

Present status description

Description of present status including use of APM

mechanisms so far and/or the background information as

reference for implementation indicator calculation

Implementation variants development process

Forecast of transport intensity

Preparation of transport intensity forecast based on politically seemless scenario of increase of dangerous good cargo

volume, as well as destination configuration changes.

Implementation variant development

Preparation of set of variants/scenarios of APM’s implementation with preparation of data needed for futher

APM’s effectiveness evaluation

APM’s implementation variants joint assessment, result discussion and recommendations

Reccomendation on actual implementation of APM’s variants with best/most effective objectives fullfiling. Discussion on different variants with executive summary of APM’s implementation variants. Political actions proposals.

Accident risk assessment

Preparation of assessment of accident risks connected to

implementation of specific variant of

APM

Pollution risk assessment

Preparation of assessment of pollution

risks or probability connected to

implementation of specific variant of APM.

Based on previously prepared accident risk

assessment

Potential impact

Assessment of possible extents of

pollution impact, based on statistical and

probabilistic evaluations.

Assessment of extent and areas at most risk

Socio-economic

impact

Assessment of possible socioeconomic impact of both implementation

of APM’s variant, as well as possible future

polltution reduction/increase

WP2 Method Of APM’sAssessmentProcess

PSSA and APM’s Report

- Description of current PSSA status and Associated Preventive Measures assessment process - PSSA as an inventory of knowledge, legal status, analysis of existing procedures- Description of regional priorities for the PSSA- Situation of The Baltic Sea Area in comparison with other European PSSA areas,- Mapping of responsibility- Definition of major PSSA mechanisms, objectives and present status

Associated Protective Measures (APM’s)

• Ship reporting and routing• Shipping mangement plans navigation charts• Disaster management concept • Oil spils risk assessment • Satellite and aerial surveillance, • Traffic Separation Scheme s(new, or extended)• Vessel Traffic Services• Compulsory pilotage• Areas to be avoided• Certain activities prohibited

Legal Framework: UNCLOSRegulations under IMO: MARPOL 73/78The IMO is the only international body responsiblefor designating areas as Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas and adopting associated protective measuresIMO A 24/Res.982 , Feb.2006

Role of Maritime Traffic Monitoring

- Report on use of AIS (Automatic Information Systems) on the Baltic Sea-Analysis of Traffic Monitoring Systemsworkshops, description, use of Information Exchange Systems- Sharing experiences on Maritime Safety Information Exchange System (SWIBŻ)- SafeSeaNet’ exchange of information in Coastal States on the Baltic Sea present state and planned development.- Detection and dealing with accidents involving potential loss of oil

Tracks of ships equipped with AIS along the Polish coast (01.12.2005 – 16.12.2005)

WP2- What has been done so far? Examples

• Working group to study the PSSA process and Associated Protective Measures (APM’s) was organized

• First materials concerning law status of PSSA, APMs, traffic monitoring systems and accidents/collisions in the BSR were collected

• Think-tank on PSSA was organized by WMU in Malmö (Feb 2006)

• Reports on Places of Refuge and Requirements on vessels are under development

-Hydro-meteorological data have been collected in the database and analysed (Maritime Institute in Gdańsk)

WP2-What has been done so far?(Continued)

Preliminary studies on:

- Traffic intensity- Navigation issues- Southern Baltic routes- Oil transport intensity- Modelling of oil spill risk probability/ spatial distribution

(including maps) have been done.

- 1st Workshop on Traffic Monitoring organized by VTS Centre of Maritime Office in Gdynia took place on 11/12 of May 2006
