  2. Themes Thematic Network Kick-off meeting June 27th 2000, Brussels, B ____________________________________________________ Maritime Black Box Project

  3. MBB: A shipborne voyage data recorder dedicated to maritime accident investigation • Preventing maritime accidents • The need: a voyage data recorder • MBB: a European Union R&D project • Proposing a legal framework • Preparing technical specifications • Developing a MBB demonstrator

  4. MBB: a European Union R&D project • leaded by the European Commission (DG VII - Waterborne Transport) • co-ordinated by Thomson-CSF Detexis and gathering European skills in VDR and maritime domains (Kongsberg Norcontrol, E.E.I.G. Unitas, Sirehna) • aiming at 3 objectives: • proposing a legal framework for implementation of the VDR • preparing technical specification of requirements for the VDR • developing and testing at sea a MBB demonstrator

  5. Proposing a legal framework... • International Maritime Organisation (IMO) • SOLAS Chapter V amendment related to IMO Regulations A.861(20) • for passenger ships • and ships carrying dangerous or polluting cargo • entry into force date as from July 1st, 2002: to be decided on July 2000 • European Union (EU) • CEC COM(1998) Directive • for ro-ro ferry ships and HSC regardless their flag • engaged on international or domestic voyages • will entry into force as from July 1st, 2002 ...contributing to ongoing international efforts

  6. Preparing technical specifications... • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) • IEC specification n° 61 996 • common international specification for both IMO and EU • Last meeting: October 1999 • Aiming at 3 main functions: • acquisition and recording of pre-selected data APAU • navigation, safety and environment parameters • audio data: bridge and VHF conversation • video: radar still image • saving and protecting recorded data RSU • against fire, immersion, shock... • exploiting and analysing recorded data REU • Bureau of Enquiries • crew and ship owner ...required by both IMO and EU regulations

  7. Developing a MBB demonstrator... • open-ended architecture based on: • IEC requirements • upgradeable capabilities: • up-to-date recorder technology • customers’ needs • easy configuration and installation • tested at sea • in actual conditions • onboard a passenger ship • sailing permanently on Norvegian coasts since November ‘99 till…today …based on future IEC requirements

  10. Themes Thematic Network Kick-off meeting June 27th 2000, Brussels, B ____________________________________________________ SEALOC Project

  11. SEALOC ProjectOverview • Started operations on March 3, 1997 • Duration 18 months • Waterborne Transport Programme, EC DGVII

  12. Partners • France Telecom Expertel - Co-ordinator • Bureau Véritas • Elisys • BMT • SSPA • ENYCA • IUN - associated to Elisys • TEI-A - associated to Elisys

  13. Objectives • To provide recommendations for the improvement of safety in maritime transport of dangerous goods in Europe • To study the implementation of telematics tools for safety issues • Target date : September 1998 (end of the project)

  14. Highlights • 3 case studies • Amoco Cadiz • Transport of LPG in the Mediterranean Sea • Transport of containers in the North Sea • FSA Methodology • Communication technologies • Organisation issues

  15. SEALOC Project Activities WP1Amoco Cadiz Accident WP0 WP4 WP2Transport of GPL in Mediterranean sea Safety Analysis and Assessment Management WP3Transport of containers in North sea WP5Coordination and validation WP6Recommendations WP7Exploitation

  16. SEALOC Conclusions • proper safety approach should include the entire transport chain • need to specify safety acceptable levels and agreed target for the risk acceptance regarding the release of hazardous cargoes in maritime transport • importance of improving the establishment of a maritime safety culture and quality management systems for inland activities • need to establish and maintain an incidents and accidents database involving maritime transport of dangerous cargoes including costs

  17. SEALOC Conclusions • Importance of human factors in safety and necessity of an improved training level • further development of telematics solutions for providing information management on dangerous cargo on board and its instantaneous location. • further usage of advanced ship-to-ship and ship-shore communication and the introduction of ship identification • revision of the Cargo Manifest and Dangerous Goods Declaration form and further standardisation for telematics exchanges

  18. SEALOC Conclusions • Introduction of a safety assessment and emergency plan for each port terminal. • Implementation of safety measures further enforced by a Centralised European Agency supported by all required and relevant information • Ieek for means to avoid non-compliance of regulations (often due to ignorance, economic pressure, flag state, company or master or crew laxness, superficial inspections, shortage of personnel) • Application of Formal Safety Assessment to influence design, construction and maintenance over the entire ship’s life cycle to prevent accidents

  19. Follow-up to SEALOC • Includes cost-benefit assessment and decision making analysis • To consider a generic ship concept, for example for a tanker or a container ship • To make an extension for the 3 Case Studies already done (smaller project)

  20. Themes Thematic Network Kick-off meeting June 27th 2000, Brussels, B ____________________________________________________ FASS I Project

  21. Fast Ship Safety - FASS I Type of project: CRAFT – Waterborne Transport Funding: DGVII and partnership Length: February 1998 – October 2000 Project Manager: SODENA (F) Partnership: BV (F), Cetemar (SP), DE (F), ISSUS (D), SODENA (F), Sindel (I), Maran (NL), IFN (F)

  22. Fast Ship Safety I Objectives • To appraise on formal and scientific bases the navigation risk factors and level of safety of fast ship operations. • To define safety requirements of fast vessel operations and concrete actions to reach them by means of: • Performance criteria related to fast ship navigational equipment taking into account specific human factors involved; • Operational procedures enhancing the safety of manoeuvres at sea and approaching the ports; • Suitable operators’ training courses and tools.

  23. Fast Ship Safety I Approach • Comparison with Formal Safety Assessment and state of the art • Use of simulation and expert training

  24. Results • Design of operational procedures • Suggestions for dedicated training tools • Identification of risk reduction measures through FSA and simulation • Definition of a stable algorithm based on a multicriteria analysis to measure in either qualitative or quantitative terms the impact on safety of procedures and measures • Specific comments and suggestions concerning regulation’s improvement

  25. Work to be further developed • Improve simulation performance • Enlarge the spectrum of factors influencing fast ship safety (not only navigation) • Include cost benefit assessment of risk reduction measures
