Importance of maritime transport for Europe
  • ?25 Member States
  • ?25 world tonnage
  • ?220.000 European seafarers
  • ?90 of Europes external trade and 40 of its
    internal trade are shipped through seaports
  • ?Sea ports handle a total of 3.5 billion tonnes
    ofcargo a year and some 350 million passengers

Nature of the EU
  • EU a regional integration organization
  • Distinction between domains of
    Community/national competence
  • EU legislation is binding for 27 States
  • 3 institutions Council (EU Member States),
    Parliament (EU citizens), Commission (executive
    body, independent from Member States)

Main activities of the European Commission
  • Propose legislation and monitor its
    implementation (with the assistance of EMSA)
  • Promote and finance maritime safety IT and
    infrastructure projects (eg. VTS) and research
  • Role in EU international representation and
    cooperation
  • ? IMO and ILO
  • ? Bilateral cooperation e.g. Regular EU/Russian
    Federation Maritime Dialogue on Maritime Policy
    and Maritime Safety

The VTM Directive
  • Requirements for Member States
  • To set up appropriate shore-based infrastructure
    and IT systems for receiving ships reports
  • To interconnect their national systems to
    exchange maritime safety data
  • To take measures to improve prevention of
    accidents and emergency response e.g. SAR
    operations, plans for places of refuge

    requirement for ships subject to mandatory
    expanded inspections Development of a New
    Information System (NIS)

What is SafeSeaNet (SSN)
  • SSN aims at implementing the requirements of the
    VTM Directive and other EC maritime safety
    legislation
  • SSN is a shore-to-shore electronic network
    between the maritime authorities of Member States
  • The SSN project was launched by the Commission in
    2002 and handed over to EMSA in October 2004

13
Directorate General for Energy and Transport
Maritime Transport Policy Maritime Safety Unit
European Commission - Directorate-General for
Energy and Transport Maritime Safety Unit
Main objectives of SSN
  • SafeSeaNet aims at
  • improving emergency response in case of incidents
    or pollution at sea (eg transmission of DG/PG
    information)
  • - early detection of ships posing a risk
  • - increased efficiency of port logistics
    (accurate ETAs, waste handling)
  • - produce statistics for EMSA, Member States and
    the Commission

14

SSN basic system requirements
  • System available 24h/day - 365 days/year
  • Capable of providing a rapid reply to any request
  • Based on Internet Standard Technology
  • Support message implementation in XML
  • Flexible be able to include new requirements
    stemming from EC legislation, new messages, new
    members in the network, etc.

SafeSeaNet General Concept
  • SafeSeaNet system composed of 3 actors
  • The Data Providers
  • The Data Requesters
  • The European Index System (EIS)
  • Data providers and requesters are maritime
    authorities or bodies NCAs, VTS, ports, MRCC,
    PSC, security authorities
  • The EIS is operated by EMSA

16
Directorate General for Energy and Transport
Maritime Transport Policy Maritime Safety Unit
SSN basic concept
  • 1. Local/national entity receiving a ship's
    notification retains the detailed information and
    sends a short message to the EIS
  • 2. The EIS keeps track of the data location
    (index)
  • 3. On request, SSN locates the data, retrieves
    it and forward it to the requester

Notification prior to entry into ports of the
Member States
What was last recorded position of a certain
vessel?
EIS
What vessels are approaching my ports?
Monitoring of ships entering the area of
mandatory ship reporting systems
What dangerous cargo is on board?
Notification of dangerous or polluting goods
carried on board
Any incidents on certain areas?
Casualty investigation
Reporting of incidents and accidents at sea

SSN Data handled by SSN
  • SSN uses existing reports, e.g. to coastal VTS

SSN future priorities - 1
  • Extension of the community of SSN users
  • SSN to be developed as a core platform for
    electronic data exchange related to maritime
    safety, security and environment
  • Extension of SSN functionalities development of
    real-time data exchange, integration of GIS and
    new sensors (satellite, radar), possible use for
    implementation of HNS convention
  • Extension of geographical coverage enlargement
    EU, cooperation with non EU States for data
    exchange

Proposed amendment to 2002/59
  • Article 20a, para 3a. When cooperating within
    regional agreements or in the framework of
    cross-border or transnational projects MS shall
    ensure that information systems or networks
    developed comply with requirements of this
    Directive and are compatible with and connected
    to the SafeSeaNet system

30
The three basic principles of the Commissions
approach for the EU maritime safety policy
  • Best use of internationally agreed or recommended
    measures full respect of the United Nations
    Law of the Seas (UNCLOS) and of the
    International Maritime Organisation (IMO)
  • Effective implementation of the international
    rules, not only to EU ships but also to all
    foreign flagged ships (Panama, Liberia, etc) that
    come to our ports. Specific geographical position
    of Europe (peninsula, transit zone)
  • Take the lead in the promotion of enhanced
    maritime safety rules at the international
    instances (IMO, ILO, bilateral agreements, etc)

31
What makes a project useful for DGTREN
  • The outcome meets the objective of safety related
    regulations
  • Do not propose implementation of policies
    different from those agreed between the MS
  • If the project outcome is research invite COM
    to consider the research result in the rule
    and/or policy process

32
How to achieve a good cooperation
  • Identify and respect the different organizational
    structures in the MS
  • In many MS local and regional authorities have
    limited responsibility
  • Keep the MS representatives to council meetings
    informed about projects
  • Keep DGTREN informed about projects
  • Exchange information about projects with EMSA
