12. Why use radar from satellites for Marine Situational
Awareness including to detect oil spills?
hei
• Active sensor
• Independent of
daylight
• Sees through clouds
and fog
• Large area coverage
• Excellent tool for
detecting slicks,
vessels and
installations

14. Oil spill detection by analysis of SAR images
• Typical oil spill, black defined feature on the sea surface, a long tail
combined with ship (small white spot) at the end.
• The black colour is due to the SAR technology
and is not true colour.
• Ships marked by white circles.
Oil spill in the south of Norway. Oil spill in Brazilian coastal water.

15. Identification of source
Combining satellite images with AIS -a powerful combination
Oil spill outside the Norwegian coast, Combined with AIS, tracked back, one of the ship
ships in the area. Warning with lanes closely corresponds with the potensial spill.
excact position, size and confidence The vessel can easily be identified, and
level is given. authorities can decide on further action.

16. Identification of Source
Combining satellite images with more information layers, installations and pipelines
Oil spill from an oilrig detected from satellite where the image is overlaid with information
of pipelines and offshore installations to identify the most likely source (marked with
yellow in image to the right). The other bright dots are signatures of vessels

35. Ship Routing in Ice
• Real time access to high
resolution satellite data
• Saves time
• Easiest, simplest route can be
identified
• Navigate around obstacles
• Saves money
• Less fuel consumed
• Less hull maintenance
• Less time in dry-dock and
therefore potential increase in
number of operating days per
year.
• Reduce risk
