The increase of international shipping activities generated by economic and social developments, transportation needs and utilization of natural resources, are prominent particularly in areas susceptible to sea ice. As sea ice affects marine transport and navigation significantly and directly, provision and development of services for monitoring and forecasting sea ice coverage has generated an increased interest globally.

The pilot will be implemented in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, and will allow for testing, validation and demonstration of technologies with a range of technology readiness level, in near-real/real environments.The demonstration of robotic technologies can promote the transition from traditional inspection and maintenance methodologies towards automated robotic strategies, that remove or reduce the need of human-in-the-loop, reducing costs and improving the safety of interventions. Eight scenarios, split into four showcases, will be used to determine the required developments for robotic integration and demonstrate the applicability in the inspection and maintenance processes. The scenarios considered were identified by end-users as key areas for robotics.

The GlobSnow SWE record, based on methodology by Pulliainen [1] utilizes a data-assimilation based approach for the estimation of SWE which was shown to be superior to the approaches depending solely on satellite-based data [2]. The GlobSnow SWE data record is based on the time-series of measurements by two different space-borne passive radiometers (SMMR and SSM/I) measuring in the microwave region, spanning from 1979 to present day. The sensors utilized provide data at K-and Ka-bands (19 GHz and 37 GHz respectively) at a spatial resolution of approximately 25 km. The GlobSnow SWE data record is available through the GlobSnow web-pages (www.globsnow.info).

In a system where the user can access many kinds of Near-Real-Time sea-ice related products from different providers, this issue is critical. The challenge is how to present these products in a way that effectively communicates the information and which is consistent across the whole range of available products, thus fulfilling the requirement that the colour scheme should be harmonised per physical parameter. The principle adopted and implemented is to use a layered approach where the values in the raster products are mapped to either explicit categories or to ranges of physical values. The physical values are then mapped to colour ranges thus ensuring that the same physical value is shown in the same colour independent of the origin. The system implemented in the FP7 POLAR ICE project enables harmonisation of the products coming from diff...

The objective of the evaluation was to show how the safety and fluency of maritime transport in the GOFREP area have developed since 2004 when the traffic separation scheme (TSS) was complemented by a mandatory ship reporting system and a radarbased monitoring system (SRS). This GOFREP traffic centre operation was assessed using a Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) approach in 2000-2002. The risk assessment results of that study (FSA2002) provide reference points to the current study.
