British Maritime Technology Typifying Maritime Disasters

British Maritime Technology The Problem to Resolve Where are ‘they’ now and where are ‘they’ going? Search and Rescue Trajectory & survival Pollution Trajectory & dispersion Salvage & Pollution Fate, consequence, where?

British Maritime Technology Commonality between SAR and Pollution Response Where did it happen? What is it? Where is it now? Where is it going? How do we best deploy our resources? Infrastructures Well structured national/international response –Maritime rescue coordination centres –Extensive communication links –Contingency planning/exercising Who is in charge? –Geographical response cells –SAR full global cover contiguous cells –Pollution limited cover Level of ownership of an incident reflects importance Information system linked to data feeds

British Maritime Technology SAR and Pollution Response - NEEDS Tools –personnel & command and control infrastructure –contingency plans –Equipment and assets –numerical environment process models Fast-Time –numerical decision support models Fast-Time Inputs –assets control advice Fast-Time –monitoring and surveillance EO, AIS Fast-Time –operational metocean forecasts & live data Outputs –response actions Fast-Time Geographical level –local, regional, national & international Maps & Charts

British Maritime Technology the on-line data broker concept BMT On-line data broker/cutter is about the seamless delivery of data sets directly to end user software applications at time when they are required, in the right format with minimum user intervention. By data we mean all data sets e.g. MetOcean, GIS, Charts/Maps, Earth Observation (Satellite) images etc. Initially the cluster has focused on the seamless delivery of MetOcean data. data providers data broker end user applications

British Maritime Technology background Flexible Online Environmental Data Systems (EDAS) EDAS is a cluster supported by SEEDA (South East England Development Agency) that aims to seamlessly deliver environmental data sets from source to end user via a data broker. The data broker acts as both a delivery system and data cutter providing end-users with exactly the data they need suitable for use in their applications at the time when it is needed. The Cluster started late 2003 and has funding to run for a year.

British Maritime Technology MetOcean data broker demonstration The following section of this presentation demonstrates the data broker. It shows the seamless delivery of wind and current data to end-user software application that models, or predicts, search areas for people, vessels and objects lost at sea.
