Maritime surveillance
One EU Agency offering three
information systems:
- CleanSeaNet (CSN)
vessel detection
- Long Range Identification
and Tracking (EU LRIT DC)
- SafeSeaNet (SSN)

Legal basis
• Founding Regulation of EMSA:
…develop and operate any information system
necessary for attaining the objectives of [the EU traffic
monitoring] directive
3
• EU Directive on ship-sourced pollution:
…providing technical assistance … in actions such as
tracing discharges by satellite monitoring and
surveillance
– Regulation 1406/2002/EC, Article 2,d,ii
– Directive 2005/35/EC, Article 10,2,a
1. CleanSeaNet: European satellite oil spill
monitoring and detection service
• EMSA is providing satellite radar (SAR) images from ENVISAT and
RADARSAT-1 and -2 on request, availability depending on the orbit.
• EMSA has contracts for the licenses with the satellite owners and
with a Consortium for the service (processing and analysis)
• Service is operational since April 2007
• Service is covering all European waters/seas
• 24 coastal states use CleanSeaNet

3 November 2008: 20 Km long oil slick in Romanian waters
Potential polluter identified by vessel traffic information system
Ship fined as a result of Port State Control inspection in Galati
08/01/2009, Canary Islands
Feedback and Port State Control request
•
After the CSN alert Spanish
authorities sent “Sasemar
103” aircraft to investigate
the case
•
The oil slick was verified
and documented by SLAR,
IR and MWR. The amount of
discharged oil was at least
3.9 m³
•
AIS data and oil drift model
results were analysed by
SASEMAR and the evidence
confirmed that the potential
source indicated in the CSN
report was actually the
polluter
•
Spain sent a Port State
Control request and a flag
state report
