Project Summary

The project will engage in five strands of work related to enhancing maritime safety in the Northern Periphery:

1. a project to create more awareness of, and interest in, AIS in the Northern Periphery, using knowledge gained from other S@S AIS infrastructure projects;
2. a project to assess attitudes to safety aboard fishing vessels in the Northern Periphery and, using this formation, to assess safety culture over a two-year cycle, alongside possible programmes of intervention;
3. a project to enhance co-operation and co-ordination of the response to passanger ship emergency in the Northern Periphery;
4. and overview by the project steering group, assessing the future development of maritime safety topics and ensuring the dissemination of lessons learned on the project; and
5. co-ordination with the Maritime Safety Umbrella Operation.
