Description
Even despite the implementation of sophisticated technical solutions at sea, navigational accidents constitute a threat to the safety at sea. The overall objective of this Project is therefore to improve the maritime safety through the development of leading safety indicators in collision and grounding avoidance. Ship hydrodynamics will be taken into account in developing the solutions for safe navigation. As an ultimate goal, technical solutions will be developed in close cooperation between Project Partners.
The beneficiaries of this Project include the Partners who will strengthen the R&D cooperation and develop new solutions/products, but also the large maritime community. Herein, it is expected that the develop solutions will help reduce the number of accidents thus improving the safety of maritime transportation.
The added value of particular Partners is as follows: (1) for GMU - experience in maritime operations and safety evaluation, as well as the research vessel; (2) NTNU - experience in carrying out and managing the international R&D projects, as well as the research vessel; (3) E-M - experience in developing novel, high-tech solutions for maritime navigation; (4) WTIF - experience in ship hydrodynamics and safety analysis.
