 🌊 Presenting the OCEAN Navigation Awareness Project's Mission for Maritime Safety 🚢 Every day, countless vessels navigate our oceans presenting risks for seafarers and sea life. The OCEAN Project, backed by the #europeanunion and the United Kingdom, aims to enhance maritime safety through a groundbreaking approach.  🌐 CIMNE research group CENIT is proud to be part of this initiative. Led by Francisco Rodero Blanquez, our team is designing and implementing a platform that will track objects seen or found at sea using data from multiple sources, including shipping operators and forecasting tools. Using this information, the platform will send navigational warning messages about the locations of obstacles, mainly marine mammals and floating containers, allowing boats to avoid collisions and prevent accidents. 🐋 🛢️ 🚢   📽️ Watch the video to discover:  ✅ Ocean's innovative reporting app and cutting-edge 4D situational awareness display  ✅How OCEAN facilitates open, voluntary, and accessible information sharing among the maritime community  ✅The project's tools, including the Evasive Manoeuvring Agent (EMA) for continuous navigational safety. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dS8G-7u3 Together, we're working towards safer and more secure oceans for all!

Did you hear about this?! A timely intervention by the tugboat Magni saved the Norwegian Prima from a potential disaster in Reykjavík, Iceland. Last May, as high winds nearly pushed the cruise ship ashore, the tug's crew sprang into action, averting a grounding. Could this close call highlight the need for more stringent safety protocols in unpredictable weather? What are your thoughts on the balance between sticking to schedule and safety in maritime operations?

Hundreds of thousands of vessels crisscross our oceans at any moment. 🛳 It is truly impressive that the maritime industry maintains such an excellent safety record, and seafarers are Good at their job! Unfortunately, accidents do happen, not because seafarers are not good at what they do, but due to a plethora of underlying reasons, such as poor situational awareness or information overload. The OCEAN Project aims to improve navigational safety, and sustainability through: ▪ Improvement in training and promotion of good practices for safe navigation. ▪ Creation of a central repository of data (S Environmentalist, Fishing and Leisure sector, Scientific Community, and Seafarers). ▪ Innovative navigational technologies. The OCEAN Project is co-funded by the European Commission and UK Research and Innovation; bringing together Europe’s maritime experts, to improve navigational safety and sustainability.

🚢Navigating the Future: Challenges and Innovations for SOLAS 🛟. "Navigating the future: safety first!" has been selected for the International Maritime Organization's 2024 World Maritime Theme. Certainly, this theme resonates deeply with the ongoing commitment of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to elevate maritime safety and security. At the heart of this dedication lies the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, longingly known as SOLAS, serving as the beacon of safety in modern maritime operations, not only establishing standards, but also safeguarding lives, vessels, and the marine environment. As we set sail into the future, new challenges emerge on the horizon; alternative fuels, climate change, technological advancements, and geopolitical shifts are just a few examples, each presenting complex obstacles that demand innovative solutions. From the expansion of shipping routes in polar regions to the emergence of autonomous vessels, the IMO remains tirelessly dedicated to enhancing SOLAS, ensuring that the safety of all seafarers remains paramount at all times. #SafetyAtSea #MaritimeSafety #SOLAS #Shipping #GlobalStandards #SafetyFirst #SeaLife #NavigatingChallenges #LegacyOfSafety #FutureOfMaritimeSafety #ComplianceMatters #SafeVoyage #OceanProtection #SafeShipping #InternationalCooperation #EnsuringSafety #SavingLives #MaritimeIndustry #imo

IMO Updates "Navigating the future: safety first!" sounds like a relevant and important theme for the International Maritime Organization's 2024 World Maritime Day. Safety is a crucial aspect of maritime operations, and emphasizing its significance is vital for the well-being of crew members, passengers, and the environment. The theme highlights the commitment to ensuring safe navigation and operations in the ever-evolving maritime industry. The celebration of World Maritime Day on September 26, 2024, will provide a platform for discussions, events, and initiatives that promote maritime safety and drive positive changes within the industry. It's an opportunity to bring together stakeholders from across the globe to exchange ideas, share best practices, and enhance awareness about the importance of safety in maritime activities. #imo #imoupdates #crsclass #maritimeday #2024theme #maritimetheme #maritimedaytheme
