Safe maritime operations under extreme conditions: the Arctic case.

Scope:

SEDNA will develop an innovative and integrated risk-based approach to safe Arctic navigation, ship design and operation, to enable European maritime interests to confidently fully embrace the Arctic’s significant and growing shipping opportunities, while safeguarding its natural environment. The overall budget for this collaborative project is €6.49M with a maximum European Grant of €6.49M.

To maximise impact, SEDNA will provide formal inputs to international regulatory regimes regarding regulation adaptation requirements for its safety solutions.
