Project: MAritime Traffic Emissions: A monitoring network
| Acronym | MATE (Reference Number: MarTERA-2019_07) |
| Duration | 01/08/2020 - 31/07/2023 |
| Project Topic | The aim is to develop a complete monitoring network for atmospheric and water pollutants from ship traffic. Such monitoring system is not yet available on the commercial market, but required due to the enforcement of policy regulations. The network of buoys will allow continuous monitoring of ship emissions in the atmosphere and in the water, including black carbon (BC), oil residues, SOx and plastic debris. New sensors for black carbon will be developed as well a hazard awareness system for acute threats by ship collisions and oil spills. In case of acute contaminations, land-based drones get activated for airborne observation and tracking of contamination plumes. A towed vehicle allows the operator to monitor shipborne pollutions in coastal waters at a wider spatial range or upon severe accidents. |
