Background • It has been registrated an increased number of incidents in the North Sea between passing merchant vessels and offshore installations during the 1990’s. • HSE-UK/ DoT: Introduced a general requirement to carry out collision risk studies. (Later followed up by NPD) • No reliable data was available or possible to collect within short time. • 1995: The COAST project was kicked-off to establish a comprehensive shipping movement database in order to obtain a more accurate and cost effective mean to obtain information on shipping.
Background Cont. • 1996: COAST UK V.1 (HSE-UK, DoT) • 2002: COAST Norway v2002 (OLF) • 2002: COAST Singapore Strait • 2003: COAST Venezuela/ Gulf of Paria (ConocoPhilips) • 2003: COAST Brazil (Petrobras), Pending The COAST databases are subject to ongoing updates to maintain the databases as a ”live” and accurate tool.
