Description

The main goal of the project is to implement of an unmanned units on port waters equipped with specialized measuring equipment, compatible with currently operating IT systems, that will ensure efficient management of surveillance activities. The system integrates hydrographic measures, monitoring of properties of water and enables modelling towards the source of detected oil spills. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the tasks with properly processed data, we''ll make it possible to increase the scope of research while maintaining a high level of quality. The project involves increasing the level of environmental protection and safety in the ports. As a result of the project, reports will be created that can provide essential input for the emerging legislation in the unmanned and autonomous craft sector.   The key value of the project is the possibility of real research   on the behaviour of unmanned vessels in the Port Ducts, working out the principles of their use in cooperation with state institutions, as well as the possibility of determining the legitimacy of implementing such solutions in the future. Due to the project implementation, the scope of implementation of the assumptions regarding climate protection and protection of the Baltic Sea waters will increase significantly  . Implementation of the discussed solution will allow the monitoring of ports with the use of a state-of-the-art unmanned unit. Thanks to international cooperation, there will be an exchange of experience, knowledge and technology. This allows for faster and effective development of an unmanned and autonomous craft sector and will positively affect the systematization of legal regulations in this area. Every procurement we conduct is conducted publicly and is open to the public. More than half of the members of the project team are women. The project team also includes people from different backgrounds and religions.
