Raising Questions for Markig of OWF

The b.m. bullet points are derivated from the memberstate reports 2009 and 2010 and reflects the discussions

with stakeholders and marine experts. The sequence means no ranking.

Requirement of fog signals,

Use of AIS,

Horizontal angel of lights,

Lighting of inner structures,

Unified numerical marking of structures for search and rescue reasons,

Use of inverse illumination for short range marking,

Use of RACON,

Synchronisation and harmonisation of all signal- and warning lights

Use of simulations for different marking modells

Needs for Spatial Planning

Resolve the conflict between the different users of the sea and the marine traffic.

• Traffic

• Marine Environment

• Pipes and Cable

• Mining, Oil and Gas

• Different OREI

Increasing number and Importance

Simplyfied Spacial Planning Process

1. Investigation of ships traffic and routes as basis for the planning process

3. Establish of priority areas

2. Resume of the different requirements

Raven Kurtz17.10.2011 S14

To Considder during the Spatial Planning Process from the mariner‘s view

Indentify a safe distance to TSS and major shipping routes.

Identifying and committing of major shipping routes.

Modifying of existing Routeing Measures (TSS) and establishing of new TSS in conjunction with OWF to improve the safety of navigation.

Investigate and considder safe navigational space between OWF (simulation).

Investigate the risk of collision and pollution.

Investigation of existing and proposed traffic in the area.

Investigation of new conflict points (corners, crossing routes, increase of traffic density.

Infestigation of different measures to improve the safety of navigation.
