Safety Management of Offshore Critical Infrastructure

The safety of critical undersea infrastructure, including electricity and internet cables and pipelines, is a topic of growing global concern. Accidents, adverse weather, earthquakes, tsunamis and deliberate attacks can all cause damage and disruption to this infrastructure, with negative societal consequences. This project aims to empower the maritime stakeholders responsible for, or affected by, undersea infrastructure to prevent incidents from happening or rapidly and safely respond if they do. It does so by designing and using a state-of-the-art monitoring and surveillance algorithm and by live exercise and workshop training based on two case studies in Brazil and the Philippines.
