ACCSEAS aims to improve safety, security and environmental protection in the North Sea Region by developing and implementing a practical e-Navigation test-bed to harmonise the exchange of electronic maritime information on-board and ashore.Building on the development of e-Navigation in Europe through co-ordination with related projects, ACCSEAS will deliver timely and accurate navigation information to support the mariner and, through doing so, help shape e-Navigation solutions of the future.

ACCSEAS demonstrates prototype resilient PNT system at sea to automatically step-in when GPS service fails
The ACCSEAS First Annual Conference took place between 5 and 7 March 2013 at the Flensburg University of Applied Sciences Fachhochschule, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
The Conference's theme was Pioneering Safe Regional Access with e-Navigation. Here are the presentations given by the partners.
Based on expectations about the impact of areas of open sea being allocated for energy extraction (such as wind farms), ACCSEAS’ research suggests that the North Sea Region’s navigable space will be reduced which will have a significant impact on key shipping lanes in the North Sea Region.
What Is ACCSEAS?
The ACCSEAS project is developing and implementing an innovative e-Navigation Test-bed to prototype key concept solutions to advance shipping accessibility in the North Sea Region. [ more ]

The Long Term View
Building on the development of e-Navigation in Europe to date, through co-ordination with related projects – namely EfficienSea (Baltic Sea) and Mona Lisa, the principal aim of ACCSEAS is to implement and demonstrate a practical e-Navigation test-bed for the North Sea Region. [ more ]
Current Activities
Employing a Systems Engineering approach, ACCSEAS is implementing a phased programme of development to recognise problem areas and determine solutions using the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) e-Navigation concept. [ more ]
