The objective of this project is to establish current information needs and best practices for the use of Earth Observation (EO) based products and services within the Baltic and Arctic shipping sector within the following business processes:
- Ship design,
- Ship construction,
- Ship certification,
- Insurance,
- Ship operation
- End of life vessel disposal.
Our consortium strives to:
- Identify the key challenges in the development of Arctic business processes and examine how they can be effectively addressed by the integration of Earth Observation (EO) means,
- Create a basis for future collaboration among practitioners in the field by providing a best practice road map, once suitable satellite-derived products useful for the Arctic maritime business processes have been identified.
The project involves key partners and stakeholders from the Maritime and EO sectors. The partners and stakeholders will be involved in interviews, workshops, and user meetings to collect their geoinformation needs for current and future use of satellite EO data. This will allow mapping of requirements from the Arctic and Baltic shipping sector for EO products and services. During the project current and future EO data, methods and derived information will be under scrutinization to identify technologies that are currently available and suitable, currently available but not utilized and future suitable technologies to fulfill the needs recognized for various shipping business processes in the Arctic and Baltic areas.
Project implementation: The project will be led by Janne Valkonen and Barbara Scarnato (PMs), DNV AS, to ensure redundancy that can be leveraged in critical times (sickness, vacation, etc.). They will coordinate the activities, ensure timely exchange of information between all the parties, organize regular project meetings, and perform the administrative reporting tasks.
Project work packages: The project is split into activities (work packages) with well-defined deliverables, inputs and outputs. The duration of project is 18 months. Below the activities and associated milestones defined by deliverable (D) are described.
PROJECT: EARTH OBSERVATIONS FOR BALTIC AND ARCTIC SHIPPING EO4BAS - WP 1 |
WP Title: Collection of geoinformation requirements and associated constraints Start Event: Project kick-off Meeting (06.03.2023) |
Objective WP 1: The objective is to identify and consolidate of geoinformation requirements and associated constrains for business processes in Arctic and Baltic shipping. Tasks: • Establish a working area on the EARSC portal to facilitate the review of requirements with relevant actors from the concerned industry Outputs: • D1.1: Workshop 1 Report |
PROJECT: EARTH OBSERVATIONS FOR BALTIC AND ARCTIC SHIPPING EO4BAS - WP 2 |
WP Title: Definition of current EO capabilities and use Start Event: (TBD) Planned Date: T0+2months |
Objective WP 2: The objective is:
Inputs: Tasks: • Specific information content. o Perform gap analysis, identifying information requirements which cannot be met, and discuss to which extent this could change over the next 5 years, taking into account new satellite missions, technology developments, possible development of new, adapted data products and changes in data policy. • Identify prototype service(s) to implement in Task 3 based upon the identified mature EO-based products. Outputs: • D2.1: Current EO Capabilities Report |
PROJECT: EARTH OBSERVATIONS FOR BALTIC AND ARCTIC SHIPPING EO4BAS - WP 3 |
WP Title: Development of a service mock-up Start Event: |
Objective of WP 3: The objective is the development of a service-mock up. Activities will involve: Inputs: D1.1, D2.1, D2.2, D2.3, and D3.1 Tasks: Collect user feedback and update service prototype Outputs: |
PROJECT: EARTH OBSERVATIONS FOR BALTIC AND ARCTIC SHIPPING EO4BAS - WP 4 |
WP Title: Development of a best practice road-map Start Event: End Event: |
Objective of WP 4: The objective of WP 4 is the development of a high-level best practice roadmap for turning the current EO capabilities into an EO good practise guidelines for the shipping industry sectors, including actions, budget, and milestones. Inputs: Tasks: Description of work including tasks, deliverables, milestones and estimated costs Outputs: |
