WP2- Major mechanisms WP2 Final Report will cover PSSA/APM’s and other elements. - Traffic separation/ Routing - Areas to be avoided - No anchoring areas - Ship reporting systems (including Automatic Identification System AIS)- results from Maritime Traffic Monitoring Report - Ice/winter navigation - Discharge restrictions - Maps of areas endangered by oil spills - Places of refuge on the Baltic Sea Area- legal status, designation etc. - Baltic Sea-wide concept of harbours for ships in distress - Requirements on vessels

Risk for oil spills for gulf of Gdańsk- summer/winter Maritime Institute in Gdańsk’ analysis SUMMER WINTER

Major WP2 mechanisms (continued) - Dangerous goods report (examination of routes of transportation of dangerous goods, Vision of dangerous goods transport in view of PSSA – monitoring of vessels within Exclusive Economic Zones - Collision and grounding model for ship collision and grounding probability - Reaction plans for accidents and oils spills - Hydro-meteorological information - Identification of hazards for future Formal Safety Assessments – systematic process for assessing risks and evaluating IMO options for reducing risks. - Traffic intensity forecast- Forecast of traffic level, detailed statistics of traffic APM’s Assesment Process: Routes- Variant development Accident Risk Assessment Pollution Risk Assessment Socio-Economic Assessment

WP2 Method Of APM’s Assessment Process

PSSA and APM’s Report - Description of current PSSA status and Associated Preventive Measures assessment process - PSSA as an inventory of knowledge, legal status, analysis of existing procedures - Description of regional priorities for the PSSA - Situation of The Baltic Sea Area in comparison with other European PSSA areas, - Mapping of responsibility - Definition of major PSSA mechanisms, objectives and present status

Associated Protective Measures (APM’s) Ship reporting and routing Shipping mangement plans navigation charts Disaster management concept Oil spils risk assessment Satellite and aerial surveillance, Traffic Separation Scheme s(new, or extended) Vessel Traffic Services Compulsory pilotage Areas to be avoided Certain activities prohibited Legal Framework: UNCLOS Regulations under IMO: MARPOL 73/78 The IMO is the only international body responsible for designating areas as Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas and adopting associated protective measures IMO A 24/Res.982, Feb.2006

 Role of Maritime Traffic Monitoring - Report on use of AIS (Automatic Information Systems) on the Baltic Sea -Analysis of Traffic Monitoring Systems workshops, description, use of Information Exchange Systems - Sharing experiences on Maritime Safety Information Exchange System (SWIBŻ) - SafeSeaNet’ exchange of information in Coastal States on the Baltic Sea present state and planned development. - Detection and dealing with accidents involving potential loss of oil

Tracks of ships equipped with AIS along the Polish coast ( – )

WP2- What has been done so far? Examples Working group to study the PSSA process and Associated Protective Measures (APM’s) was organized First materials concerning law status of PSSA, APMs, traffic monitoring systems and accidents/collisions in the BSR were collected Think-tank on PSSA was organized by WMU in Malmö (Feb 2006) Reports on Places of Refuge and Requirements on vessels are under development -Hydro-meteorological data have been collected in the database and analysed (Maritime Institute in Gdańsk)

WP2-What has been done so far? (Continued) Preliminary studies on: - Traffic intensity - Navigation issues - Southern Baltic routes - Oil transport intensity - Modelling of oil spill risk probability/ spatial distribution (including maps) have been done. - 1st Workshop on Traffic Monitoring organized by VTS Centre of Maritime Office in Gdynia took place on 11/12 of May 2006
