EMBARC Wednesday, 07 October 2015Slide No. 7 EMBARC Reporting Precondition: All European SAR areas are one reporting area, with some exceptions such as Portugal and UK. All CGs have AIS monitoring system. If vessel is under coverage of AIS system no reports are made. If vessel is out of coverage and still in zone of responsibility vessel reports position at regular intervals How it works: Voyage from port A to Port B Vessel Z asks permission to leave port A to the VTSA VTSA gives permission to leave port Vessel Z starts moving VTSA reports to CG1 CG! Reports to all intermediate CGs and to final CG of Port B CG1 reports to SSN Vessel Z exceeds boundary from CG1 to CG2 CG1 reports that vessel Z has left to SSN CG2 reports that vessel Z has entered own zone to SSN Vessel Z exceeds boundary from CG2 to CG3 CG2 reports that vessel Z has left to SSN CG3 reports that vessel Z has entered own zone. CC3 reports to port of destination the ETA Vessel enters port of destination and reports to VTSB Vessel safely berthed and reports to VTSB VTSB reports to CG3 and to SSN the ATD V

EMBARC Wednesday, 07 October 2015Slide No. 8 The result is that: The master of the vessel only reports once The SAR authorities know what vessels to expect and they know the position of these vessels once they have reached the own area of responsibility. The same is valid for the monitoring authorities that also act as authorities for VTM at sea to implement possible measures according to the intervention convention. SSN knows when vessel change of SAR area since reports are gong to SSN. SSN is not heavily burdened since they globally know where vessels are and the national authorities know precisely where vessels are, using their coastal network.

EMBARC Wednesday, 07 October 2015Slide No. 13 We expect that 20 % of the vessels may be responsible for 70 to 80% of the risk. Again 70 % of the risk is constituted by BF 6 and more. By taking measures we might reduce the risk of these vessels by 40% Pinpointing HRV is hence beneficial to risk. Are we able to do this?

EMBARC Wednesday, 07 October 2015Slide No. 14 In UNCLOS and related documents the following expressions are often used: Substantial discharges Significant pollution Major damage Pollution of the marine environment Art 220 UNCLOS indicates that the use of modern technology to detect HRVs may be used to: Predict extent of damage Management of risk if so identified

EMBARC Wednesday, 07 October 2015Slide No. 15 This requires that this article (220) may be amended so that the legal issues are parallel with technical developments: This can be done in two ways: Amend UNCLOS, (takes 10 years or more) Use the Precautionary principle and if a court finds that the precautions taken by a coastal State are reasonable and proportional then the coastal State may not be liable for economic damages to the vessel. Preventive easures by VTM at sea might become commonplace.
