5. Overall goals
— Improve the current state-of-the-art methodology for
satellite based oil spill detection
— Demonstrate through deliveries to existing and new users
how these improvements can contribute to the development
of a sustainable downstream service
— Integrating new geo-information products e.g. from the
Marine Core Service into innovative methods for oil spill
detection
— Demonstrate a next generation service compliant with
existing and new users expectations

12. SeaU Initial benchmark test
— Objective:
— Identify weaknesses in the service chains
— Determine to what degree the service providers are
harmonized.
— Check the service chains capability to:
— Correctly identify confirmed oil slicks.
— Correctly not report confirmed false alarm features
— Assess the degree of harmonization with regards to:
— Classification – Identify features as possible oil (including
correct classification in A and B)
— Characterization – The parameters used to characterize a slick
— Service chains:
— CSN-2 service chains from KSAT, EDISOFT, e-GEOS and CLS

37. Users Involvement
The users have been involved in satellite based integrated oil spill
detection service provision and developments since the initial R&D
phases during the 90-ties, providing the requirements related to
relevant EC Directives and national/regional environmental legislation.
The main users today include:
• national pollution control authorities in Europe, now being
served via the EMSA CSN service
• offshore oil industry particularly in Northern Europe
• few other/commercial service brokers
