This page is intended to point out some applications of metocean studies to the
improvement of shipping conditions, performance and safety: conventional routeing, high
speed crafts operation, unconventional transports, classification, ...

Ifremer suggested a few years ago an idea to investigate how novel
metocean information sources could improve shipping safety. The COMKISS (COnveying Metocean Knowledge
Improvements onto Shipping Safety) project idea was taken over by Satellite Observing
Systems and University of Lund, and presented within the EWSE (CEO) framework for EC
funding, which was granted. The following demonstration modules are based on results of the
COMKISS project.

This study is an application of real-time satellite data to marine operations and
unconventional transports. |
|
|
Can satellite measurements of currents improve the route choices and shorten the voyage duration for transportation at sea ? |
| Wave
Climate Bases |
How satellite measurements of waves and wind can improve the climate data used for the design of transportation at sea. |
| Theoretical
bases |
A theoretical basis for the statistical analysis of responses experienced by a vessel during a voyage.
|
| Fatigue
and Failure |
How statistical analysis of satellite measurements can be used in assessment of the criteria for safety with respect to fatigue and failure on a given route. |
| HSC
operation |
Can satellite data improve
High Speed Passenger Craft operation, allow for advance cancellation with
more confidence, and avoid unnecessary cancellations ? |
| HSC
performance |
Can satellite data improve
climatological studies for High Speed Craft performance assessment ? |
