Galicia tested the effectiveness of the Netmar Project Date:October, 1st 2014. Place: Pobra do Caramiñal (Galicia) (Spain) A simulation exercise took place in Galicia to test the incident response to a spill scenario, in which a large ship was leaking fuel as a result of a serious damage to the hull during a storm. The coordinated action involved the deployment of an Underwater Autonomous Vehicle (UAV), to asses the contaminated area and drifters to accurately estimate the way the fuel was spreading. During this operation, containment measure was put in place and Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) made a hull inspection to evaluate the damage. Once the Finisterre VTS received the help request from Net Galicia, due to a storm damage to its hull, the reefer vessel was forced to proceed to an anchorage at Arosa estuary, escorted by a rescue ship, to assess the damage. The CCS Finisterre immediately informed the Galicia Coast Guard operation office, which delivered the alert to the responsible authorities for the ports in the area of the estuary: Port Authorities of “Portos de Galicia” and “Vilagarcia”, and the Maritime Authority. At 06:00 LT (GMT+02), whilst anchoring, it was confirmed that ”NET GALICIA” was leaking fuel possibly due to a crack in the hull. The
2
Pollution Response Plans were activated and it was decided that the ship would be moved to the Port of Pobra do Caramiñal. The fuel spill sample taken identified the fuel leaking as IFO 180 fuel type. Meantime, the fuel pollution from NET GALICIA had already extended to the harbor basin area and it was also drifting towards the estuary areas. Local weather conditions along with tide and currents were contributing to the pollution spread. As a result, the following actions were required:
1. Deployment of an UAV to conduct the area scanning and allow initial assessment of the contaminated areas. Launch of a ROV for inspecting the ship’s hull. 2. Launch of drifter buoys from INTECMAR, to obtain data on the evolving pollution spread: 1 MLi buoys along the track of the ship, moving from the anchorage point and passing alongside the port, and 2 MD02 buoys, one of them in the area where amonia was leaking.
NETMAR NEWS 3
3. Deployment of Troil-Boom GP 750 around the stricken vessel for containment of the spill. Mobilization of the necessary unmanned underwater vehicles (AUV’s) for the inspection of the ship in order to assess the damage. The pollutant would be pumped by the Desmi Belt Terminator skimmer to Fast Tank. 4. Estuary protection from spill spreading by installing a Marclean boom Z1000 at the harbour entrance and anchoring a Roo Boom 1000, launched from the Coatguard ship IRMANS GARCÍA NODAL, for protecting the marina and mussel production areas. This boom had drifting buoys in both ends. 5. Containment and removal of the spots, after locating themin the estuary, by a boom Current Buster for collection and subsequent pumping by a SKIMMER. 6. Recovery of the polluted area of the port by the use of a Desmi-belt Terminator skimmer pumping to a Fast tank. 7. Detection of ammonia pollution by AUV and inspection thereof with a UAV. 8. Transfer of the pollutant recovered from the Fast Tank to a tanker for management. OBJECTIVES • Test the creation and operation «in situ» of the coordination of operations at sea and ashore. Evaluate the Pollution Response Plans with CECOP. Evaluate the capacity for coordination and communication through the IT’s. • Plan and implement a
coordinated response exercise for a pollution event at sea, with particular attention to the methodology,organization of decision-making and coordination between technical experts and the bodies responsible for decision-making, communications, logistics, etc. • Deploy new technologies for the detection and control of pollution in coordination with conventional tools normally used in the standard response to these types of incidents/accidents, to show their specific capabilities and assess its merits in an operational exercise. These new technologies (especially the UAVs, AUVs-and the management platform) are developed and/or improved by industries and European scientific institutions that take part in the NETMAR project • Check the actual condition an correct operation of the equipment. • Instruct operating personnel, taking part in the exercise, in the methods for combating marine pollution by hydrocarbons. • Interact with the ARCOPOL Project Platform. Assess the development tools in the context of ARCOPOL Project by the stakeholders involved in response activities. MATERIALS USED Anti-pollution booms, remote control skimmer Desmi-Belt terminator. AUVs, UAVs, ROVs, SAR airplane, SAR ships, fishing vessels and drifting buoys.
Portugal close the Netmar Project with a third demonstration
Taking advantage of the recent successes obtained in the previous demonstrations (Shannon and La Coruna), the NETMAR consortium is starting to plan the final demonstration, which will take place in May 2015, APDL, Porto, Portugal. This demonstration will consist in a harbor incident affecting Porto region, in the context of an exercise planned and implemented under the leadership of APDL, in the framework of its contingency plan, and will be held in parallel with another incident response exercise, which will involve other Portuguese local entities. The exercise simulates a situation where there is a spill of an aquatic pollutant from a ship (docked or incapable of maneuvering), possibly stranded close to the port entrance channel, and in danger of releasing toxic gas. This will be triggered by an accident at sea in the approach to the Porto harbour.

NETMAR WORKSHOP NEW SCENARIOS OF MARITIME SAFETY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Date: October, 2nd 2014 Place: A Coruña (Galicia) (Spain)
Reflections on the maritime safety after the Erika and Prestige disasters, produced by Portuguese (FEUP), Spanish (FUAC, Portos de Galicia and Tecnalia) and Irish (Limerick University) partners, were discussed at the NETMAR workshop held in A Coruña, in October 2014. The seminar focused on the social economic and security implications of maritime disasters, with special reference to the Erica and the Prestige cases. Most of the attention devoted to the Prestige incident has centered the debate on the legal actions taken against the Captain of the vessel Another major topic discussed was related to administrative procedures, aeronautical certifications and permission to fly UAV´s in the Spanish airspace, as these new Regulations are

not clear and need further development. The NETMAR project was represented in the international seminar by the Portuguese (FEUP), Spanish (FUAC, Portos de Galicia and Tecnalia) and Irish (Limerick University) partners. This international seminar, as taking part in the NETMAR
Project activities, seeked feedback from legal experts and economists on the impact of maritime disasters in the legal, social and economic environment of the concerned territories. The experience of Erika and Prestige and, particularly, the recent judicial rulings in France and
NETMAR NEWS 3
Spain have set the framework in which the analysis of some of the major issues of maritime safety was held. The reflection turned around two main keynotes: the progress made in the EU maritime safety, especially after the Erika and Prestige crisis andthe need to regulate the marine environment from an integrated management perspective, where maritime safety is one, but not the only concern. To achieve the proposed goals the following experts were invited: José JUSTE RUÍZ- Professor of International Public Law - University of Valencia 2.

TECHNOLOGY IS OPENING NEW PERSPECTIVES IN THE FIGHT AGAINST MARINE POLLUTION
ROSELLÓ - Professor of Public Law - University of Malaga MAIN CONCLUSIONS After intense debate, the conference concluded with important findings, which have been tabulated in a collective book. The following list highlights some of the key subjects addressed: • In the last decade there has been a significant advance in the regulation of maritime security in Europe, as a result of the Erika and Prestige dissasters. • After maritime disasters that have occurred during the XXI century, the sea has become topical in the European Parliament. The enormous damage and serious socioeconomic and environmental consequences caused by the massive oil spills at sea, have aroused among European politicians
5
NETMAR NEWS 3
a new sensibility and strong interest in managing and organizing the care of the oceans. • The crises have created a strong social awareness that has made after ten years later, public authorities more aware of the requirement to regulate in an integrated manner, laws and regulations dealing with the seas. • The Maritime security can no longer be observed as an isolated element or sector. With the new set of EU directives, which must be transposed to law, areas such as piracy or terrorism prevention must also be considered when discussing maritime security. Maritime safety is a key component in the EU Integrated Maritime Policy. • The judgment that followed the Prestige crisis has cast serious doubts and intense criticism of the criminal law applied to maritime incidents, notably regarding the acquittal of the accused and the legal interpretation of the facts by the court. • In addition to criminal liability, it is important to note the responsibilities of the tanker owner, under the International Convention on Civil Liability for Pollution Damage, caused by hydrocarbons which creates a legal obligation to product owners, making them responsible for the damage and, therefore, liable to compensate.
6
• The system of civil liability applicable to maritime incidents should be reviewed to make it current and effective. • Alternative ways of conflict resolution, such as arbitration and extrajudicial rulings should be considered as a means to speed up and add flexability in coming to decisions. Currently these procedures are already applied to other high-profile cases. • There is a need for greater collaboration at European Regional and National levels in order to achieve higher levels on Maritime Safety and protection of the Maritime environment. Jurisdictional battles should be avoided and a joint effort should be carried out to pursue the common goals on the marine environment protection.
• The assessment of the damage caused by a pollution incident is an ongoing issue. The compensation payment system in advance should be reviewed and scientifically accredited valuation methods applied. The social impact of the incident also requires to be studied further. • The extraction of oil, gas and energy resources from the seabed poses risks that are not fully quantified and require further study and deliberation. • New technology is opening new perspectives in the fight against marine pollution, Drones or autonomous aerial vehicles have been studied and evaluated and proved to be a major asset. This highlighted the poor Regulation regime that currently exists for the operation of these vehicles.

NETMAR WORKSHOP GALICIAN CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR ACCIDENTAL MARINE POLLUTION Date: June, 26th 2014 Place: A Coru単a (Galicia) (Spain)
The University of A Coru単a Foundation, in collaboration with the Coastal Observatory of the University of A Coru単a, organized a seminar as part of the NETMAR Project, at the Faculty of Law of the University of A Coru単a (Spain). This seminar was aimed at raising awareness of the Regional Contingency Plan for Accidental Marine Pollution in Galicia (CAMGAL), approved by the Government of the Autonomous Community of Galicia on 5 July 2012. This
Plan sets out the basic rules and operating procedures, organizational structure and system response in case of a pollution event taking place off the Galician coast or affected the Galician coast. To achieve the objectives, a business meeting was held with two expert speakers, who were responsible for analyzing the content of CAMGAL. The event provided a lively debate and addressed several relevant topics on this issue.
TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES, A BUSINESS MEETING WAS HELD WITH TWO EXPERT SPEAKERS

RESULTS OF THE 2ND DEMONSTRATION IN GALICIA BY FEUP The Second demonstration of the NETMAR Project (October 1st 2014) took place in A Pobra de Caraminal, La Coruna, Spain, which was organized by Portos de Galicia and supported by the NETMAR Partners. The exercise attracted the attention of several local entities, such as Galicia Cost Guard, Spanish Army, INTECMAR, Maritime Authority of Arousa and SASEMAR, to pursue the following major goals: • Demonstrate the «in situ» coordination on the setting and functioning of sea and land operations and the system contingency response with regard to polluting discharges. • Plan and implement a coordinated response exercise for the contingency of polluting discharges into the sea, taking advantage of the conclusions and outcomes derived from the Shannon exercise of the NETMAR Project, mainly in terms of methodology, organization, decision making and technical procedure. • Ensure collaboration between policy makers, tech-
8
nical, economic, social and environmental actors, especially given the environmental and social sensitivity of the area where the DEMO would take place. • Deploy new technologies for the detection and control of polluting discharges and coordinate its usage with conventional tools. The exercise consisted of a simulation of a maritime incident at sea, where a help request was received by the local authorities, from a ship facing maneuvering problems
due to a heavy storm, that was registered in Finisterre traffic separation device (VTS). The ship proceeded to an anchorage at Ria de Arosa to assess possible damage, escorted by a rescue ship. The Finisterre Rescue Coordination Center has immediately informed the Galicia Cost Guard operation office, which alerted Portos de Galicia and others responsible for ports and sailing in the estuary area. On the mooring maneuver, it was found that the ship was leaking
NETMAR NEWS 3
fuel and causing a spill, due to a presumed crack in one of the double bottom tanks. Once the discharge was verified, the contingency system response for discharges was activated and it was decided to dock the ship at the port of Pobra do Caraminal. To tackle this scenario, a pre-operational meeting took place in the operation center of the port, to analyze the complete situation and present an effective and assertive plan to solve the problem. The intervention plan consisted in the following major actions: • Deployment of different types of booms for protecting the mussel production areas, insulation of the docked ship, entrance closure of the port and collection of the dispersed pollution. • Coordinated deployment of Unmanned and
Remotely Operated (air and underwater) vehicles, namely: o Autonomous Underwater Vehicle – AUV (FEUP), to inspect the mussels production areas and a submerged object that had been located outside the breakwater, from which ammonia vapor was been released; o Unmanned Air Vehicle – UAV (TECNALIA) with gas sensor, to inspect the area where the object giving off vapors of ammonia had sunk, to check for gas presence and to search for possible scattered patches into the estuary; o UAV (FEUP) in recognition mode, to verify the cleaning process after the different units have carried out the cleaning of the estuary and the port basin; o Remotely Operated Vehicle – ROV (Limerick), to inspect the ship bottom and to certify that the fuel leak
had been fixed and leaking had stopped. This was a significant achievement and it proved to be a great success. It also validated the overall NETMAR project approach, including the perceived impact of the tools and technologies used in the demonstration. The demonstration was also a key enabler of contributions to the Atlantic Area frame, in a very positive way. In conclusion, the Spanish demonstration was a major success, with the fulfillment of the main goals proposed in the NETMAR project, which is targeted at accelerating the progress on matters considered of key importance to operational partners and involved nations. New technologies tested/ used in this period Some technologies from FEUP were tested and used in this period, namely: • Coordinated preplanning, thanks to new functionalities implemented in the LSTS toolchain (Neptus – IMC - DUNE) of the UAV and AUVs used from FEUP in the Spanish demonstration; • Live video feed from FEUP UAV into the INTECMAR platform, in order to be disseminated through several stakeholders of the project; • AUV side-scan sonar to detected a submerged object; • Drifter buoys for sea current measurement.

PARTICIPATION IN THE 2ND NETMAR DEMO IN GALICIA BY THE MMRRC The UL MMRRC participated in the second NETMAR demonstration in Galicia, on the 1st October 2014. The UL team were tasked with completing the initial inspection of the hull using an ROV. The task was specifically intended to inspect the hull for damage and for any sign of bunker oil spill. The ROV used was a mini ROV capable of remote presence flying of the ROV remote location through the internet. The ROV pilot was located in the command tent during the exercise and was able to fly the ROV live while taking input from command personnel. The video from the onboard camera of the ROV was also streamed to the command tent in real time. New Developments by MMRRC Through participation in the NETMAR project, UL MMRRC have engaged with numerous emergency response agencies and associated industries, both within Ireland and abroad, and many strong relationships have been established or grown
10
throughout the project. Many industrial partners who have engaged through NETMAR have gone onto work with UL MMRRC in other projects such as the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre, Marine Renewables Ireland (MaREI – www.Marei.ie). In the MaREI project alone, these include Shannon Foynes Port Company, Teledyne Reson, National Maritime College of Ireland, Commissioners of Irish Lights and Teledyne Blueview.

THE VIDEO FROM THE ONBOARD CAMERA OF THE ROV WAS STREAMED TO THE COMMAND TENT
The MMRRC are developing subsea sonar imaging capabilities with a view to both enhanced seabed mapping and data extraction for navigation/infrastructure reconstruction. Currently the process of upgrading the existing bathymetric sonar is taking place and the acquisition of an additional nearfield forward looking sonar
is undergoing. The MMRRC are looking to relocate some offices/equipment into a new Limerick based Marine Research Incubation Centre. The Incubation centre will be setup in the Shannon Foynes Port Company (SFPC) Docklands in Limerick City Centre and will bring together a small number of start-up companies
with research in the marine space. MMRRC dock based activities will be located in the Bannatyne building on the Dock Road Limerick, with immediate access into the water. The ROV LATIS and control cabin will be relocated and once setup will allow for onsite real-world demonstrations.
