The project aims at harmonising risk management strategies for the North Sea region and at transforming these strategies into practical methodologies for spatial planners, decision makers and operational entities dealing with safety at sea. The strategies will be put into practice in six demonstration projects, including;

• Classification and risk assessment of oil transport in the North Sea;
• Practical tools on risk management for offshore wind farms
• Coastal zone management,
• Places of refuge and preparedness;
• Decision making for a maritime rescue coordination centre.

Harmonisation of these strategies across the North Sea Region is an important objective, as is the transformation of these strategies into applicable, practical methodologies for spatial planners, decision makers and operational entities dealing with safety at sea. Demonstration projects will accompany the project.
