Abstract

The decision on how to sterilise a medical device is dependant on many factors and as a result requires detailed investigation early in a project. The key factors are which processes are compatible with the materials and packaging used for the product. Other critical factors are cost, speed, the availability of a technology and level of customer support that is provided.

Intelligent ship traffic monitoring for oil spill prevention: risk based decision support building on AIS.

The paper describes a model, which estimates the risk levels of individual crude oil tankers. The intended use of the model, which is ready for trial implementation at The Norwegian Coastal Administrations new Vardø VTS (Vessel Traffic Service) centre, is to facilitate the comparison of ships and to support a risk based decision on which ships to focus attention on. For a VTS operator, tasked with monitoring hundreds of ships, this is a valuable decision support tool. The model answers the question, "Which ships are likely to produce an oil spill accident, and how much is it likely to spill?".
