The CLEANSEANET service is a European system developed for the detection of oil slicks at sea using satellite surveillance on request of the Commission and all EU and EFTA Coastal States. The service, to be integrated into the national and regional response chain, aims to strengthen operational pollution response for accidental and deliberate discharges from ships and assist Coastal States to locate and identify polluters in areas under their jurisdiction.
CLEANSEANET will deliver oil spill alerts in near real time (30 minutes) to both the Coastal State(s) and EMSA for detected slicks as well as giving access to the satellite image(s) and associated information over the web (and via email for low resolution images).
The following section holds detailed information on the EU Directive and the CLEANSEANET system, together with some examples of the service output. |
