<strong>Project</strong> Scope<br />
The project is dedicated to the maritime risks prevention<br />
and strengthening of maritime safety related to oil spill<br />
pollution in the <strong>Mediterranean</strong>.<br />
<strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> will deliver an integrated operational multi<br />
model oil spill prediction service in the <strong>Mediterranean</strong>,<br />
connected to existing monitoring platforms (EMSA-CSN,<br />
REMPEC, AIS), using the well established oil spill<br />
modeling systems, the data from the GMES Marine Core<br />
Services and the national ocean forecasting systems.<br />
The project is being co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund
<strong>Project</strong> Objectives<br />
<strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> will establish a downstream service<br />
including:<br />
Exploitation of the GMES MCS products in support of the<br />
<strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> oil spill prediction downstream service<br />
Design and implementation of a unique Web portal access<br />
point for end-users with different UI (for EMSA, REMPEC<br />
and generic users)<br />
Training of end-users on the <strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> service, particular<br />
the key end-users and the generic users, as well as non-EU<br />
countries responsible agencies, as defined by REMPEC for the<br />
<strong>Mediterranean</strong> and the MS responsible agencies, and by<br />
EMSA<br />
Develop concepts and plans for economic business models to<br />
extend the user base of the downstream service i.e. its<br />
implementation to other EU regions, such as the Black Sea.<br />
The project is being co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund

The role of <strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> in<br />
operational oil spill response<br />
One of the permanent<br />
risks from an incident in<br />
the <strong>Mediterranean</strong>, is<br />
associated with the<br />
heavy traffic of<br />
maritime transport and<br />
with the coastal and<br />
offshore installations<br />
related to oil industry.<br />
Such a dense activity,<br />
imposes on the coastal<br />
countries the need for<br />
preparing an operational<br />
response in cases of<br />
major incident.<br />
An incident like this<br />

GMES and oil spill predictions<br />
in the <strong>Mediterranean</strong><br />
Before GMES ()<br />
- Run the GMES marine services<br />
• MyOCEAN<br />
- Ensure the link of individual MS marine security services and key end<br />
users with the MCS products<br />
<strong>MEDESS4MS</strong><br />
will establish an integrated<br />
MDS for oil spill predictions<br />
in the <strong>Mediterranean</strong> using<br />
GMES MCS products and<br />
will provide access to the<br />
integrated service to key users<br />
and to local response agencies<br />
from all the coastal countries<br />
in the <strong>Mediterranean</strong>.<br />
The project is being co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund
The role of <strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> in<br />
operational oil spill response<br />
The basic response to an oil spill employs different measures and appropriate<br />
equipment. However, in order to make optimal use of such devices and to assist<br />
the agencies , the initial response to oil spill incidents needs to :<br />
1) integrate the different well established oil spill forecasting systems with the MCS products<br />
and the downscaled national OO systems;<br />
2) connect the existing oil spill monitoring systems, such as EMSA-CSN, and REMPEC to the<br />
integrated oil spill forecasting service;<br />
3) connect the AIS to the integrated oil spill forecasting service and allow the hind-cast of the<br />
oil slicks to facilitate the identification of the ship that has potentially originated the spill;<br />
4) increase the prevention/mitigation capacities for oil spill damages to coastal areas using oil<br />
spill forecasts and decision support tools;<br />
5) increase the national capacities to all countries in the <strong>Mediterranean</strong>, making available the<br />
integrated oil spill forecasting service to key users, such as REMPEC and EMSA and to public<br />
national authorities and private users.<br />
The project is being co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund
As from REMPEC, the agencies need<br />
an integrated service…<br />

national/regional response<br />
chain for accidental spills<br />
and deliberate discharges<br />
from ships.<br />

What are the main problems to be solved<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Oil spill detection with satellite and forecasting networks are still<br />
disconnected (after the EMSA CSN “warning” there are no other<br />
procedures established);<br />
Oil spill forecasting procedures not yet fully established between<br />
<strong>Mediterranean</strong> MS;<br />
Real time environmental data from MCS not complemented with<br />
best information from the national OO forecasting systems of the<br />
coastal MS;<br />
Unique access multi-model solution to oil spill forecasting not yet<br />
available;<br />
Support for non-EU countries, which compose at least half of the<br />
riparian countries in the <strong>Mediterranean</strong>, is not available yet.<br />

<strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> service solutions<br />
EMSA on 21 November 2008 has published a paper illustrating ‘EMSA’s view<br />
on further development of oil spill modelling’.<br />
<strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> provides solutions to all 11 EMSA’s requirements.<br />
<strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> will provide 3 services scenarios:<br />
1) RT oil spill forecasting by authorized users;<br />
2) Delayed mode by authorized users;<br />
3) Oil Spill <strong>Decision</strong> Support System, for selection of management strategies.<br />
<strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> service scenario 1 examines two different User Interfaces, one better<br />
suited to the EMSA requirements (including automatic mode) and another to REMPEC<br />
and generic users.<br />
The project is being co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund
<strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> service solution<br />
<strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> will build upon the demo implementations carried out in<br />
the frame of EC projects (MFSTEP, MERSEA, ECOOP, MyOCEAN<br />
MARCOAST), by maturing the pre-cursor services provided to individual<br />
MS response agencies, to an integrated structured service delivery for all<br />
the countries in the <strong>Mediterranean</strong>, and to major key end-users, such as<br />
REMPEC and EMSA.<br />
The geographical area of the service will<br />
cover the <strong>Mediterranean</strong>, based on the<br />
sound expertise of the <strong>MEDESS4MS</strong><br />
MOON and response agencies partners<br />
in their areas of responsibility.<br />

WP5 -To strengthen common analytical<br />
& planning tools<br />
WP Leader: Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR)<br />
Description: This WP will design the guidelines to interconnect<br />
the different parts of <strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> system and implement all the<br />
proposed modifications in different system platforms.<br />
<strong>MEDESS4MS</strong> will build a multi-model core component where<br />
the four oil spill models of the system will be able to run in the<br />
different <strong>Mediterranean</strong> Sea areas using the appropriate forcing<br />
fields. The interoperability of the required environmental data<br />
(atmospheric, hydrodynamic and wave data) and the oil slick data<br />
should be sustained. Since oil spill data from existing platforms<br />
that are used to initialize the models are provided through<br />
different sources (CSN, REMPEC) common guidelines will be<br />
developed.<br />
