About this event
Find out how The OCEAN Project uses smart tools, real-time data, and HCD design to improve maritime safety and protect lives and oceans.
Navigational accidents across Europe are declining, yet the impact of those that occur remains significant. The OCEAN Project, funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe programme, has been at the forefront of maritime innovation, harnessing Human-Centred Design (HCD) to empower already skilled mariners to make even better, safer decisions.
Join us for the final showcase of this groundbreaking initiative, live from the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) in Lisbon or online via a fully interactive hybrid platform.
This event is more than a summary, it’s a forward-looking, practical deep dive into:
How Safety II culture is reshaping maritime operations, by studying what ‘good looks like’, not just what went wrong.
The creation of the European Navigational Hazard Infrastructure (ENHI), a collaborative data-sharing network integrating:
AI satellite imagery
Hydrophone acoustic data
Advanced marine mammal migration models
Lost container drift algorithms
A user-centred navigational app
A suite of intuitive HCD user interfaces offering tools for all, from solo sailors to major fleets, with entry points ranging from free apps to enterprise-grade systems.
The OCEAN Project aims to reduce ship strikes, one of the most pressing threats to whales globally, and mitigate the risks of floating containers that endanger vessels. With near real-time, intelligent data systems. See how this initiative is actively protecting lives, ecosystems, and economies.
This final event is your opportunity to explore how these innovations can be practically applied in real-world scenarios and how you can become part of the growing global network shaping the future of safe navigation.
Be part of the conversation. Be part of the solution.
