Voyage Management Hypotheses

Increase situational awareness
Enhanced monitoring will lead to increase situational awareness for the shore centers and for ships in monitored areas
Enhanced monitoring will lead to an early detection of dangerous situations in monitored areas
Enhanced monitoring will lead to a reduction of probability of incidents/accidents in monitored areas
Route exchange ship to ship will lead to increase situational awareness on board the ships
Route exchange ship to ship will lead to a reduction of misunderstandings during navigation
Route cross check will lead to safer routes through more information provided on board
Route cross check will lead to less grounding causation probability (no-go areas, air draught)

Optimize operational procedures
Route exchange ship to ship will lead to an optimization of operational procedures on board
Route exchange ship to ship will lead to a reduction in workload for the users during navigation
Enhanced monitoring will lead to an optimization of operational procedures in shore centers
Enhanced monitoring will lead to a reduction in workload for the shore centers operators
Area Management will lead to an optimization of operational procedures on board
Area Management will lead to decrease misunderstanding during the route planning

Reduce the environmental impact of shipping
Area Management will lead to facilitate just in time visibility of the environmentally sensitive areas on board
Area Management will lead to decrease the violation of environmentally sensitive areas
