Shipping Challenges of the North Sea
Region
Increased density of
shipping
Reduced
space/manoeuvrability
Growth of offshore
installations
Traffic pinch-points at
approaches to:
Risks of collision and
grounding
Safe and efficient access
to the North Sea Region
What is the ACCSEAS project?
ACCessibility for Shipping, Efficiency Advantages
and Sustainability
Part of the INTERREG IVb North Sea Region (NSR)
Programme
Key theme of the INTERREG programme: Improve
accessibility of places in the North Sea Region
reducing congestion
developing sustainable transport
promoting transmodal solutions
ACCSEAS Aims and Objectives
Aims:
To implement and demonstrate e-Navigation
test-bed in the NSR
To contribute to resilience of the Region's critical
Enhance maritime access to the Region.
Objectives:
Establish prototype solutions based on IMOs e-
Navigation concept to bring maritime
navigation into the digital age:
Test-Bed: Resilient PNT
Mitigation of GNSS
vulnerability
Independent and
complementary backup
system to GNSS
Prototype an Integrated
Navigation System (INS)
radar positioning
R-Mode
multiple GNSS
integration of eLoran

ACCSEAS Conference
March 5-7 2013
Flensburg, Germany
Theme: ACCSEAS: pioneering safe regional access
with e-Navigation
Day 1: Defining regional e-Navigation for safe efficient
access in the North Sea
