Scope<\/span><\/h3>\n

Although shipping has become safer over the past decades, the current trend shows a considerable increase in ship size, increase in the overall maritime traffic and variety of possible pollutants transported as well as a reduced navigational space due to other maritime activities and demand for space, such as energy generation and marine protected areas. The reported number of small and \u2019\u2019unknown\u2019\u2019 spills has also risen significantly.<\/p>\n

These and other developments require further risk reduction and preparedness measures, including the use of advanced and innovative technologies as well as the evaluation and reinforcement of existing capacities. Therefore, better ways of cross-sectoral cooperation of different authorities and actors involved should be explored and developed.<\/p>\n

Objective<\/h3>\n
