Hull performance refers to the impact of hull and propeller on the fuel efficiency of a ship. Deterioration in hull and propeller performance between dry-dockings currently accounts for around 10% of world fleet fuel cost and corresponding greenhouse gas emissions. Most vessels leave dry dock with hull and propeller in a good condition. However, on account of a combination of biofouling and mechanical damage, hull and propeller performance begin to deteriorate. Vessel operators can reduce their fuel costs and emission significantly if proven quality coatings and a standardized approach along with data driven solutions are used and implemented.

The Greenland community ice information service provides Inuit hunters, tourism operators, local communities, and search and rescue operators with Earth Observation (EO)-based information that helps them to navigate safely over the sea ice in coastal waters. The first demonstration will be in the community of Qaanaaq, Greenland. As part of the service, Sentinel 1 satellite imagery is analyzed by an expert to determine the ice conditions around the community. Local maps are created delineating conditions suitable for travel as: "Go","Slow", and "No Go". The satellite imagery and travel maps are combined with Copernicus Marine Service data such as: sea ice thickness, sea ice concentration, sea ice drift, snow thickness, temperature, and Greenland ice charts. These data layers are available to users through a web site and a mobile phone app.

Although deaths are rare, the search and rescue effort required to retrieve stranded individuals is costly in both time and money, as well as endangering the rescuers. As an example in the Canadian context, in 2013 the extraction of 31 people (including a 16-person Inuit hunting party) turned out to be one of the largest Arctic rescues that the Royal Canadian Air Force has ever undertaken. Over a two-day period, the rescue involved three dozen aircrew and six aircraft in co-operation with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and local authorities, turning into a major news story that was reported around the world. The rescue operation also cost Canadian taxpayers $2.7 million.

SECURING HUMAN LIVES AND ASSETS IN A HARSH OCEAN ENVIRONMENT

S E CAS E â&#x20AC;˘ UOVERVI EW

AHPA, Asset Health and Probabilistic Analyses, focuses on probability analyses of fractures and strains on offshore structures. AHPA gives answers to the questions: How can we be sure that offshore structures are sufficiently safe? How can we ensure that no accidents occur? Experience data of where, when and why fatigue cracks occur have been systematically collected for Jacket structures and for Semi-submersibles. Such fatigue cracks are linked to the strains that offshore structures are exposed to due to harsh weather conditions in the North Sea. Of particular interest is the accumulated impact of wave forces, but also the importance of forecasting wave e.g. wave swell in periods of important marine procedures where the swell frequency is close to the resonance frequency of a structure. This wave information can be derived from Copernicus Marine Service. For example, the ship heave motion is of serious concern during marine operations. Combined wind sea and swell system from different directions may result in rapid changes in the heave amplitude. CMEMS wave height combined with period is used to predict the 3-dimensional motion of floating bodies.

U S E CASES

AND • FACTS KEY N U MBER S

A harsh ocean environment with strong winds and waves over decades of use causes significant wear and tear on offshore structures. The angle from which waves hit a platform, and the wave height are important factors, but in addition the wave frequency is an important factor due to the resonance frequency of the structure itself. If a wave system with high energy at a certain frequency hits a structure such as a platform or a ship, it can be extremely dangerous to perform operations.

• CMEMS PRODU C T IN USE

Wave forecasts from the CMEMS North West Shelf model, including significant wave height, wave period, wave direction, wave energy spectra are used in this application. Moreover, CMEMS Ocean Wind Observations is also used.

SAFE TRANSPORT OF GAS IN THE NORTH SEA

S E CAS E • UOVERVI EW

The PIPEX project focuses on modelling the transport of natural gas through subsea pipelines taking into account oceanic conditions. The natural gas produced by Norway is transported to Europe in large diameter subsea pipelines, and the state of the entire pipeline system is modelled in real time. The accuracy of the capacity estimations is important for optimisation of existing infrastructure and for design of new pipelines. Sea bottom temperature is a particularly important parameter when calculating the transport capacity in a subsea gas pipeline as the volume of the gas is nearly directly proportional to the temperature. Modelled sea bottom temperature data from the Copernicus Marine Service North West Shelf Forecasting model are used as input to the computer models at GASSCO, because observed sea bottom temperatures are not available. Recent analyses of the deviation between the modelled and measured gas temperature in the pipelines show a maximum temperature difference of up to 2 °C. Reducing this deviation by improving the estimation of the sea bottom temperature will have a key economic incentive for the project.

to support decision making in fish farming in European seas. Based on data from the Copernicus Marine Service, Webstep designs predictive statistical models that allow predicting future temperature for specific areas. Sea temperature plays an important role on fish production due to the sea temperature effects on fish mortality rate, average maturation time of the fish, and average harvested weight of the fish. Since temperature is a natural phenomenon with a strong seasonality component, predictive models can yield good predictions of future temperatures. In addition, these models can serve as an input for a Business simulator. It is a methodology taking data as an input, and based on a series of assumptions, producing a corresponding outcome. It helps answering WHAT IF questions, as for example: What will happen to a given salmon population development if the sea temperature increases by 2° C?.
