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. ENVISAT Data ESA/TSS. ENVISAT Data ESA/TSS. Oil spill in the south of Norway. Oil spill in Brazilian coastal water.

Identification of polluting source using AIS ENVISAT Data ESA/TSS. Detected oil spill ENVISAT Data ESA/TSS. Combined with AIS

Oil spill detection: From single users towards multiuser 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 RADARSAT-2 Data and Products MacDONALD, DETTWILER AND ASSOCIATES LTD., 2011 All Rights Reserved RADARSAT is an official mark of the Canadian Space Agency

Vessel/target detection and identification - a core application for: Oil spill pollution Identification of source Risk assessment Fisheries control Illegal fishing Fishing pattern Effort estimation Safety Maritime traffic density Accident risk Compliance with traffic separation schemes Security Border control, illegal immigration, smuggling Piracy

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)

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?
