Member States have provided information to EMSA on which are the customs offices in the ports where “blue ships” will call; ports should be informed about the Blue Belt pilot project

SafeSeaNet is notified about ship departure, ship voyage

and arrival, by Member States coastal authorities

Customs at Port B

SafeSeaNet compiles the information in the BlueBelt status report and sends it to the custom authorities concerned

Custom authorities at the port of call receive information on the current and previous voyages, expected and actual time of arrival and departure, last and next port of call

EU Custom Authorities

Are represented for all matters related to the implementation ofthe pilot project via the Electronic Customs Group

(the High Level Steering Group of SafeSeaNet and the Administrative Board of EMSA will be kept informed of progress)

Blue Belt Correspondence Group (CG)

•with representatives from BE, CY, DK, FI, FR, IT, NL, PT, UK, DG TAXUD, DG MOVE and EMSA

•have provided input to and guidance on the Blue Belt pilot project, mainly during the definition phase

Shipping IndustryECSA (European Community of Ship-owners’ Association) and WSC (World Shipping Council)

have the role of facilitating communications between EMSA and the ship owners as well as identifying the vessels that will participate on the pilot project

The ship owners Advisory Group (AG)

is a small panel of representatives (6 members) to provide feedback on the implementation of the project and will help assess the impact of the project on daily practices

Private stakeholders

• The interest shown by industry is very encouraging: ECSA/WSC has confirmed the participation of 251 ships, proposed by ship owners via the national ship owner associations from 11 EU Member States;

• The pilot involves all custom authorities in the ports where the ‘Blue ships’ will call;

• all port customs authorities (in general) have been informed about the Blue Belt pilot project through the dissemination of an information leaflet prepared by EMSA

Project Phases

The project is divided into two phases:

Phase 1 (2 May – 30 June)

• A report is sent via email to the customs authorities concerned in the port of call 2 hours before the arrival of the “blue ship”

Phase 2 (1 July – 3 November), in addition to the above

• Customs authorities will have access to the Blue Belt graphic interface upon request

• Customs authorities receive information on ship behaviour (e.g. call at third port, encounter at sea, etc.)

• Satellite-AIS will be made available as back-up information

Satellite-AIS

EMSA requested support of the European Space Agency (ESA)

• Terrestrial AIS will be complemented by Satellite-AIS in case of gaps in the coverage of SafeSeaNet or when a vessel is out of the range of coastal AIS receiving stations

• Satellite-AIS can be used as back-up of terrestrial AIS

ESA Member States approved the project proposal on 15 February 2011

• Data will be available from mid-2011

Project timetable

Page 21: Approx. 13,000 merchant ships in transit around EU every day · 2012. 6. 6. · Project timetable. The Blue Belt pilot project provides ship notification reports to ... The Portuguese

The  Blue  Belt  pilot  project  provides  ship  notification  reports  to (maritime) customs authorities of all EU Member States throughout the duration of its operation phase (May to October 2011), and foresees an evaluation period of two months (November and December 2011).

The Portuguese ports of Porto Santo,  Lisbon,  Funchal, Ponta Delgada, Angra  do  Heroismo,  Aveiro,  Faro,  Figueira  da  Foz,  Horta,  Leixoes, Peniche, Portimao, Lajes das Flores, Sao Roque do Pico, Setubal, Sines, Velas and Viana do Castelo are currently receiving the Blue Belt report if and when they are visited by the ‘blue ships’.

There are circa 250 participating vessels (the “Blue Ships”) participating on a voluntary basis  to  the project,  that  represent  the different  trades most  frequently  seen  in  the  European  Union,  such  as  pure  intra‐EU trades (under the authorized regular service regime (RSS) or not), feeder lines, container transhipment and ferries.

The  ship  notification  reports  contain  vessel  and  voyage  information, namely: vessel particulars; up to the  last ten ports of call  in EU; vessel track and, at a  later  stage, unusual behaviour  (e.g. encounter at  sea). These  are  generated  automatically  by  a  specific  module  of  the Community vessel monitoring system SafeSeaNet, and delivered to the relevant customs authority, via e‐mail, 2 hours before the ships notified estimated time of arrival (ETA).

More than 17,000 reports have been sent since the 2nd May;  in October the customs authorities will receive information on ship behaviour (e.g. encounter at  sea etc.) and Satellite‐AIS data will become available  for additional ship tracking information in non EU waters.
