WP5 development phases Phase 1 – separate systems working

Small boat system

Ship system

Authorities vessel and fixed sensor station

Lab based system

Phase 2 - system integration

All systems working together

Phase 3 - scenarios

Scenario 1 – Oil spill in the Baltic

Scenario 2 – Re-routing due to icing

Scenario 3 – Loss of GPS

Scenario 4 – Extreme weather where several vessels

in distress

Scenario 1 – Oil spill in the Baltic (1/5)

In the scenario 1 is considered how the ESABALT

system could help in severe oil spill disaster to

efficiently communicate and coordinate the

recovery operations using several vessels

Scenario starts from the suspected oil spill

Indication comes from the wide area oil

surveillance mechanism – airplane or satellite

based recognition

Indication is transferred to ESABALT system

using georeferenced picture

Scenario 1 – Oil spill in the Baltic (2/5) Suspected oil spill imported

as geotiff

Suspected oil spill data sent

to vessel

Scenario 1 – Oil spill in the Baltic (5/5)

With the ESABALT system oil spill surveillance and

recovery can be managed efficiently

ESABALT can bring several advantages to environmental

monitoring and disaster prevention

Improved oil spill monitoring with simple crowd sourcing based

reporting possibilities to get indications of even small oil spills

Rapid information sharing from indication to confirmation of oil spill

volume

Efficient integration of wide area surveillance systems (eg.

airplanes and satellite based systems) with local capabilities (eg.

offshore patrol vessel, patrol boats or oil recovery vessels/boats)

Efficient oil spill recovery management with different types of

vessels and different authorities

Rapid information sharing for different stake holders

Efficient international co-operation is cost efficiently possible

Scenario 2 – Situation where re-routing is necessary

due to significant icing in the Baltic (1/3) Existing route

of vessels before the

significant icing

Phase 1 – vessels

navigating via standard

route

Extraordinary strong westwind causes

significant icing close to the shoreline

Significant icing area indication and alert

Icing alert

Phase 2 – indication or

forecast of upcoming

situation at ESABALT

workstation

Scenario 2 – Situation where re-routing is necessary

due to significant icing in the Baltic (2/3)

Phase 3 – Re-routing of vessels to avoid significant icing area

Significant icing area indication and alert

New route to avoid significant

icing area

Scenario 2 – Situation where re-routing is necessary

due to significant icing in the Baltic (3/3)

Summary With the ESABALT system significant icing alerts and

also other same kind of alerts/warnings/indications can

be managed and information shared effectively based

on vessel characteristics

Crowd sourcing based information can be taken into

account in analyzing process when raising alerts for

different types of vessels

Also other external information can be integrated in the

system; eg. regarding weather forecasts and icing

forecasts the system can bring benefits in integration

and information sharing

Scenario 3 – Situation where satellite navigation such as the

GPS is not available in a particular area due to jamming (1/3) Vessel navigating at sea when DGPS and other sensor data is

available

No alerts indication

Phase 1 – vessels

navigating at sea when

GPS working

GPS jamming alert (no GPS available)

Feb 20 10:23:20

No GPS available alert

No GPS available alert

Defined GPS jamming area

Scenario Alternative 1

Phase 2 – loss of GPS

(Jamming area known by

the ESABALT system)

Scenario Alternative 2

Phase 2 – sudden loss of

GPS

Scenario 3 – Situation where satellite navigation such as the

GPS is not available in a particular area due to jamming (2/3)

Phase 3 – ESABALT assisted own position

recovery

ESABALT generated vessel AIS location based on radar (or

satellite) tracked data

Feb 20 10:23:20

No GPS available alert

No GPS available alert

Feb 20 10:23:20

AIS TTM generated alert

Alerts:-No GPS available

-AIS data alert

Emulated position data indicated

ESABALT vessel workstation view

Scenario 3 – Situation where satellite navigation such as the

GPS is not available in a particular area due to jamming (3/3)

Summary With the ESABALT system GPS jamming areas can be

alerted and indicated efficiently and rapidly to all vessels

in the affected area

Also in case of vessel losing GPS data, the ESABALT

system can produce vessel’s AIS position based on

ESABALT sensor station radar tracked target or in some

cases even based on satellite data vessel mapping

Radar recognition based synthetic position and AIS data

transmission is possible to navigate through problem

areas

With this mechanism also other ships can see vessel with

AIS receiver although own ship GPS and AIS transceiver

are not operational

Scenario 4 – Case of extreme weather where

multiple vessels are in distress (1/3) Vessel is reporting

distress situation via GUI (defined

buttons or free text)

Defined buttons eg.: MOB, engine failure, lack of gasoline etc.

Phase 1 – small boat in

distress

Phase 4 – distress area

Phase 5 – distress

Scenario 4 – Case of extreme weather where

multiple vessels are in distress (3/3)

Summary

The ESABALT system brings several

advantages in distress situations from small

boat distress reporting to information sharing

and situation management

Aim is not to build substitutive system for

current distress mechanisms

ESABALT can extend distress management

and safety mechanisms also to smaller vessels

which currently don’t have extensive systems

onboard

Thank you!
