Strand 1 - Policies, regulations, technological innovations & operational means: progress made in terms of maritime safety since 2007.
|
14:30 - 16:15 : Session 1 – Oil shipping and beyond (current events, Gulf of Mexico)
Since 2007, oil spills from shipwrecks have seemed to be marking time, at least in Europe, which may attest to some progress in the field. At the same time, the accidents of container-carriers raised awareness of new challenges for maritime security: the issue of gigantism (container-carriers, passenger ships...), the transport of hazardous materials...
However, it is another sector, that of offshore oil production that was thrust violently into the spotlight, with the explosion of an oil platform and the large-scale pollution of the Gulf of Mexico this engendered. That event has raised new questions and stakes, which confirm the idea that the seeking of more effective regulations and the commissioning of many systems to control and monitoring global shipping must be continued.

Session 2 – Technological responses
Systems to control and monitor shipping, as well as the marine pollution response system rely on developing technological tools. On the European level, much progress can be noted since 2007, under the impetus of EMSA whether it be for regulations (broadening the ranges of vessels, particularly fishing boats, which must be equipped with AIS - Automatic Information System) or tools (developing networks like SafeSeaNet, CleanSeaNet, implementation of the EU's LRIT – Long Range Identification and Tracking, etc.). At European and international levels, the trend is definitely to the integration of surveillance and observation systems (knowledge of the oceans, sea forecasts, maritime activities…).

Session 3 – Rescue at sea: comparative analysis
A comparison of different rescue systems over the world. Even though they obey to the same logics and international regulations, operations of rescue at sea are organized differently from one State to another. This session will introduce systems from Europe, North and South America, as well as the role of Rescue at Sea Coordination Centres (in France, CROSS aka Regional Operation Centres for Rescue and Surveillance) and of the various public (French Etat en Mer, Chilean Navy...) and associative (French SNSM, RNLI for the United Kingdom) stakeholders. Besides the main conference, workshop 8 “SAR: Search and rescue” will be dedicated to this topic.

|
9:00 – 10:30 : Session 4 – New shipping routes
The melting of sea ice in polar zones, symptomatic of climate change, arouses major expectations which in their turn raise numerous legal, economic and environmental questions. Therefore, these extreme areas are turning into the life-sized laboratories of future maritime security policies. Session 4 will allow presenting the prospects of polar zones management and exploitation, more specifically those associated with new arctic shipping routes, from the point of view of scientists, of regional, national and international institutions, and of maritime industrials.

11:00 – 12:45 : Session 5 – The ship of the future: a cleaner, safer and more economical vessel
Those involved in ship design and ship building are working on the "ship of the future" which must be a "clean, economical and safe vessel". It will have to reduce its discharges of oily water and waste waters, its ballast water which can contain invasive species, its green house gas emissions, while reducing its fuel consumption, and in the near future, its noise pollution. To do so, using new energy sources, designing new propulsion processes and developing "smart" navigational aids must be envisaged. For this approach, information technologies will play an absolutely determining role.

Session 6 – The port of the future
At all latitudes, impacts can be expected in territorial management and particularly in designing harbors which will have to take account of factors which are still poorly known, such as the rise in sea level and increasingly strong and frequent disturbances induced by climate change. In any case, it deals with the conception of the sustainable port, considering all its aspects and functions. From main international port cities to smaller ones, be it in civil or military ports, marinas, fishing harbors or commercial ports, changes have been initiated. The diversity of these answers and experiences probably prefigures the Port of tomorrow.

Session 8 – Action against illegal activities at sea : the case of piracy
This session will grant a particularly important place to piracy. The crossing of views over different international approaches and the exchange of experiences between port authorities, sailors, industrials and training centres will draw a state-of-the-art in this field. Historical, geographical, economical and geopolitical approaches will be presented and proper responses related to various sectors considered: ship design, protection and formation of crews, means of monitoring and intervention, inter-States cooperation…
The issues of illegal fishing, illegal immigration or drugs and weapons smuggling will however also be mentioned, together with the necessary strengthening of national systems adapted to the type of traffic, the adaptation of the international law at sea, as well as the resources dedicated to cooperation and their role.

17:00 – 18:30 : Session 7 – Port security
Confronted to a rise in illegal or even terrorist activities, ports are strategic areas concentrating and integrating the means of controlling and monitoring land-sea exchanges. Regulation evolutions (in particular the ISPS code) led ports and national authorities to invest into increasingly sophisticated means to improve constantly the control and monitoring of cargoes and ships, to detect unusual targets (fast, submarine, human), while ensuring the fluency of port activities. Based on feedbacks and experiments from Europe, from the USA or from Asia to reinforce the safety of port areas and of their access, the session will allow confronting operational, technological, legal and economical points of view to initiate a debate over the prospects and needs in terms of research and development.
