19. The project is organised into 5 strands and 6 demonstration projects Strand 5 Project Management and Technical Assistance LP Strand 2 Routing and Safe Seaways NL Demonstration A Inventory and Risk Assessment of Oil Transport in the North Sea ( NL, LP) Demonstration B AIS Data and Risk Assessment ( DK, UK, S) Strand 1 Harmonisation of Risk Management Strategies LP Strand 3 Coastal Zone Management UK Demonstration C Coastal Zone Mgt., Places of Refugee and Preparedness ( N, FL, LP) Demonstration D Offshore Wind Farm Risk Management ( UK, FL, DK) Strand 4 Risk Assessment and Decision Making FL Demonstration E Risk Assessment and Decision Making ( FL, UK, LP) Demonstration F Safety Awareness ( LP, NL, UK, FL) (LP = Norwegian Coastal Administration)

20. Strand 1 will harmonise risk management strategies, in order to improve the level of safety in the North Sea region Safety at sea Harmonise risk analysis methods and terminology Compile and harmonise risk management strategies  Traffic regulation, speed limits, tug boats, emergency response plans,…  Organisation of responsibility  Complex, sophisticated calculations  Different methods and terminology  Harmonised risk management strategies, methods and terminology will improve safety at sea

21. Demo A includes inventory, classification and risk assessment of oil transport in the North Sea region Main deliverables:  Database of oil transports in the southern part of the North Sea  Classification system for crude oil – environmental behaviour and toxicity  Risk assessment studies – high risk areas

22. Demo B aims to combine AIS data with a tool for risk assessment of navigational safety Main deliverables:  Gather and present AIS data  A fast time numerical integrator (prediction of collision and grounding)  Evaluate the risk reducing effect of aids to navigation

23. Demo C aims to harmonise methodology and guidelines for emergency preparedness arrangements Main deliverables:  Rules for classification of sensitive areas  Rules for emergency preparedness arrangements (including depots and places of refugee)  Rules for operational decision making

24. Demo D aims to grow new knowledge on the risks associated with offshore wind farm development Main deliverables:  Extend existing risk models to include offshore wind farms and to include GIS- based decision making  Retrieve current and forecasted traffic density  Scenarios of growth in offshore wind farms  Demonstrate use of AIS in providing warnings to shippers  Develop planning and approval framework

25. Demo E aims to develop new Incident Management Systems (IMS) to support Marine Rescue Coordination Centres (MRCC) Main deliverables:  IMS prototype that combines data from different sources to identify dangerous situations and to make informed decisions on how to handle these situations

26. Demo F aims to grow knowledge about safety measures for small and high speed crafts in the North Sea area Main deliverables:  Recommendations regarding organisation of safety and preparedness for small boats including leisure crafts  A real-time weather forecasting system for high speed crafts (AIS, GSM)  Educate the general public on quality shipping
