EMSA’s operational tasks
Pillar 1: Ensuring the correct implementation of existing community legislation
Pillar 2: Developing technical cooperation projects with the Commission and Member States
Pillar 3: Pollution preparedness, detection and response
4
Operational tasks
Database developments
5
Pillar 1 - Supporting the European Commission
Implementation of EU legislation
Technical assistance for new and/or amended legislation
6
Statistical analysis before and after assessment visits
• Port State Control
• Port reception facilities
1 - Horizontal assistance to the European Commission
Monitoring the implementation of E.C. legislation
7• Production of statistical products, services and publications
– EQUASIS, Paris MoU, other partner organisations
• Data processing, data extraction and data analysis– Ex: Port State Control, banned ships, single hull oil tankers
• Statistical research activities – Information sources, ports, ships particulars, movements
1 - Horizontal assistance to the European Commission
Statistical services, monitoring and related research
8
New Information System (NIS): design and creation of an effective inspection database.
• Every ship eligible
• Risk profile based on:- ship particulars: type, age, flag, recognised organisation, company- inspections records: detentions, deficiencies
• Will calculate and make public:- risk profile of every ship- next periodic inspection date
Final version of proposal is not yet agreed

2 - Specific tasks in the field of maritime safety
Education, training and certification of seafarersSTCW database containing data on:
• Seafarer certificates, endorsements• Education• Records of compliance of national systems• Training institutions with the requirements of the STCW
10Administration of Ro-ro ferry database for recording survey reports carried out under Directive 99/35/EC
• Database upgrades
• Harmonisation of procedures for providing information
• Linked to port state control database
2 - Specific tasks in the field of maritime safety
Ro-ro ferries
11Database created after assessment on waste reception and handling plans adopted in accordance with article 5 of Directive 2000/59/EC.
2 - Specific tasks in the field of maritime safety
Port reception facilities
Marine Equipment
Database public available on approved marine equipments on more than 21.000 certificates (www.mared.org).
12
Pillar 2 - Working with Member States
Co-operation between Member States and the European Commission
13
EU vessel traffic monitoring and information system
Obligations on Member States (Directive 2002/59)
EMSA tasks linked to Directive 2002/59 (Art 2. of Reg 1406)
Port, hazmat, ship, alert and security notifications“ensure connexions and interoperability of the National Systems used to manage the information”
SafeSeaNet, as the central pillar of the information system (future developments in PSC, LRIT…)
Automatization: AIS development
-shore-based installations
- appropriate equipment for relaying the information to and exchange it between the national systems of Member States
Monitoring of development of the infrastructure (new Database). Cooperation through network, pilot projects (HELCOM), workshops, study.

Accident/Casualty investigation
European database on maritime accidents: EMCIP(European Marine Casualty Information Platform)
• Methodology for Marine Casualty Investigation- promote and facilitate cooperation on common standards
• Data analysis - analysis of investigation reports and research of data - playback of casualty related Voyage Data Recorders (VDR)
• Disseminate statistics and information- optimal exchange of findings from investigations

Hazardous and noxious substance pollution (HNS)Action Plan for HNS Pollution Preparedness and Response (Section 3: HNS Trade in European Waters)
• Transported substancesVolumes, by type of cargo
• Fleet Composition Ships trading in European waters with HNS cargo
• Trade Pattern to and from European PortsMain routes, high density traffic areas
• European HNS Trade and EMSA Activities
