MED OSMoSIS CISE Pilot Study

In the framework of the project, Shom is conducting a pilot study on CISE to assess the technical and financial needs for the integration of Shom’s data in the CISE network.

The common information sharing environment (CISE) is an EU initiative providing a decentralized framework for point-to-point information exchange across sectors and borders. It is involving more than 300 EU and national authorities with responsibilities in maritime surveillance. CISE aims to make European and national maritime surveillance systems interoperable, enabling all concerned authorities to exchange information in an automatic and secure way.


Carrying out many different operational surveillance tasks, national authorities directly benefit from being connected to CISE, in various sectors:

In the context of the study, Shom is getting involved in the CISE Network by connecting its legacy system (data.shom.fr portal) to the French Node as data provider. This task is performed in cooperation with SGMer (French General Secretariat for the Sea), owner of the French Node, and with the JRC (EC Joint Research Center) for all the technical aspects, and EMSA (European Maritime Safety Agency) in charge of the current phase of the CISE initiative.


Over the last few months, significant progress has been achieved since, in order to test the connection and service, two adaptors developed by JRC were installed at Shom:  the first one to connect Shom’s platform data.shom.fr as data provider to the French Node, and the second one to connect a GIS (Geographic Information System) as a client system for the French Node. The configuration process of these two adaptors is under progress and the next steps will involve service tests carried out by other participants connecting to the French Node or to another Member State’s Node.

When fully operational, this connection will provide access to various data layers produced by Shom to other CISE participants in the EU, such as maritime boundaries, traffic separation scheme, wrecks and obstructions, etc. for the benefit of all the actors of maritime surveillance.


Moreover, the study will highlight the technical issues encountered during the set-up of this connection. This should facilitate the connection of other data providers to the CISE network in the future.

PROMULGATION OF NAVIGATION AND METEOROLOGICAL WARNINGS IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

Image
NAVAL RADIO SERVICE According to the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), the eastern part of the Adriatic Sea belongs to the marine area A1, in which the Republic of Croatia is obliged to ensure VHF, VHF DSC and NAVTEX signal coverage. The Law on Plovput defines that the mentioned tasks are performed by Plovput on behalf of the Republic of Croatia. ACTIVITIES OF THE MARINE RADIO SERVICE OF COASTAL RADIO STATIONS (ORP) The fundamental activities of the maritime radio service are as follows: • Constant vigilance on frequencies for danger; • Mediation in communication during distress, emergency and safety interventions coordinated by the National Search and Rescue Center (MRCC) in Rijeka, in accordance with the National Plan for Search and Rescue of Human Lives at Sea; • Mediation in communication when seeking medical advice from vessels; • Broadcasting of Maritime Safety Information (MSI) via VHF system and Navtex system; • Commercial radio service with sh...

High resolution Atlas of Surface Currents in South European seas

Image
Sea surface currents are probably one of the most relevant variable for a variety of challenges concerning the the marine environment management (e.g. safe and  efficient navigation, pollution dispersion, ecological connectivity, ...) . Within the framework of the MED OSMoSIS and COSMO projects, the ICM-CSIC has developed an atlas of surface and subsurface (depth ~ 15 m) currents for the Southern European seas: the Mediterranean basin and the Canary-Iberian-Biscay waters (Martinez et al., 2022). Surface Climatological Currents for May The Atlas is based on today’s state of the art reanalyses of the ocean circulation provided by the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS). Climatological values are computed from the median of the empirical probability density functions. The Atlas also includes the variance matrix as well as a bimodality index providing further quantitative information about temporal variability of the current at each location. Rose of currents and v...
