  1. ESA Innovator II: Ballast Water Risk IndexA Tool for assessing the risk of ballast water exchange in the North SeaKerstin Stelzer, Brockmann Consult User Consultation Meeting Ballast Water Risk ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011

  2. Project Information Duration: 01/2009 – 06/2010 Funding: European Space Agency (ESA) Programme: ESA DUE Innovator II Testing the applicability of remote sensing satellite data in new applications Goal: Investigation of the opportunity for remote sensingsatellite data to contribute to the risk assessment of Ballast Water exchange Development and Implementation of the BallastWater Risk Index concept: Brockmann Consult End User of the service: BSH ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011

  3. Ballast Water Exchange Risk Index Transparency ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011 • Recommendations of the IMO Ballast Water Convention for ballast water exchange areas • Distance > 50nm • Depth > 200m • No turbid water • No outbreaks / HABs • Currents away from land • No sensitive aquatic areas • Closest to ship routes • Utilisation of remote sensing data where available and suitable • Chlorophyll concentration • Turbidity • Suspended matter • Temperature

  4. Assumptions Risk Index Model Highly turbid waters  high risk Near the coast  high risk Near protected areas  high risk Shallow waters  high risk Drift to the coast  high risk High chlorophyll concentration  high risk High suspended matter  high risk High CHL / turbidity at drift position  high risk Low difference between source and destination area (Salinity, Temperature)  high risk ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011

  5. Product ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011 • Product: Risk Index Map • High values indicating potential negative impact of ballast water exchange • Model Principles • Standardisation of input parameters • Tuning parameters (weighting factors) • Easy integration of additional parameters • Final Ballast Water Exchange Risk Index is composed of specific thematic risk indices

  6. Concept of multiple Risk Indices Risk Index Exchange Risk Index Drift Risk Index Eco-Region Exchange Risk Index ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011 Ballast Water Risk Index* Wilhelmshaven * 26.08.2010

  12. Ballast Water Risk Index Risk Index Drift Risk Index Ecoregion Risk Index Exchange Ballast Water Risk Index ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011

  13. Average Risk Index ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011

  14. Average Risk Index: Idea Detection of stable high or low risk index regions Independent of source of the ballast water Calculation of daily Risk Indices for 2006 - 2008 Exchange Risk Index Drift Risk Index  1095 daily products Averaging over certain time periods Monthly Seasonal Semi-annual Yearly Calculation of standard deviation for the assessment of the stability of certain areas ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011 Ballast Water * North Sea Exemption Group * 17.06.2010

  15. Process I: Daily Risk Index No risk index eco-region! ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011

  19. Products and Use Cases Dynamic Risk Index Use Case: Ship is requesting permission for ballast water exchange from BSH Service Delivery: Generation of Risk Index via the web service Input: Date, Salinity, Temperature, Currents, Uptake/Exchange, … Output: Risk Index Map Update Frequency: on demand processing Average Risk Index Use Case: Assessment of the general risk situation and identification of potential exchange / no exchange areas Service Delivery: pre-calculated maps are available via the web service Update Frequency: static ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011

  20. Web Application Dynamic Risk Index ESA UCM Ballast Water Risk * Hamburg * 25.01.2011
