• Vast ocean areas • –appr 7x mainland

• Weather; wind, darkness,

cloudcover • Increasing oil and gas activity • IUU fishing • Increasing vessel traffic

• Shipment of russian oil • Gas and LNG • Transport of goods and chemicals • Ecotourism • Northern Sea Route

In a vulnerable arctic environment

Norway and the High North

Oil spill detection by analysis of SAR images • Typical oil spill, black defined feature on the sea surface, a long tail

combined with ship (small white spot) at the end. • The black colour is due to the SAR technology and is not true colour. • Ships marked by white circles.

Oil spill in Brazilian coastal water. Oil spill in the south of Norway.

Oil spill detection: From single users towards multi-user model (authorities)

• Initial stages • Service provider vs. single users, on a yearly basis • Neighbouring users not coordinated (e.g. on coverage requirements) • Spills reported only to buying customer, not to the neighbour

• KSAT multi-user approach: Utilize satellite large area coverage for information and cost-sharing among neighbouring users • Users encouraged to coordinate needs for coverage in area • Data and information available to all contributing users • Result: A more cost-effective utilization of aircrafts and an improved

surveillance for the whole area • Multi-user model baseline for a pan-European service for EMSA -

CleanSeaNet service since 2007

SAR based Vessel Detection

• Snapshot in time that provides the following information on the vessels detected: • Location (lat/lon) • Estimation of size* • Estimation of heading* • Estimation of speed* • Estimation of confidence

*may not always be possible to

estimate due to environmental factors

Data fusion and tracking

• FFI has developed a web-based application for fusion of sensor data from different sources that is presented in a map viewer

• Integrates ship detection from KSAT with AIS (terrestrial and Sat-AIS) and VMS at the moment • LRIT and coastal radar other possible sources

• Other information like met-ocean, ship lanes, etc. are also

available as layers

• Being rolled out for demonstration at the Defence Joint HQ and an interdepartmental group fighting IUU (Coastguard, Fisheries Directorate, Customs, Police, Ministry of Justice)

Overview

KSAT ship detections from RADARSAT-2

+ AIS, SAT-AIS, VMS

Fusion and tracking

Result, red targets are unidentified

SAT-AIS in the Barents Sea

• Current demonstartion and data collection from the main SAT-AIS resources covering the area • AISSat-1 • exactAIS • LuxSpace/ORBCOMM

• Aim is to evaluate how more frequent coverage of the area

improves the maritime situational awareness for Norwegian authorities: • Norwegian Coastal Administration, Vardø-VTS • Coast Guard • Defence Joint HQ • Fisheries control dept.

AISSat-1

exactAIS

LuxSpace/ORBCOMM

All combined

Conclusions

• Satellite based vessel detection (earth observation and SAT-AIS) is an obvious source of infomation for Maritime Domain Awareness

• History (in Europe) has proven that governments can cooperate in sharing information and costs for oil spill detection • Lots of ongoing actitivities in Europe for defining the role of earth

observation in Maritime Security

• C-Σ • Information and data sharing: technology is in place, policy and legal

framework is not • Who’s gonna pay?
