Safety is key to develop multi-use at sea. The workshop
aims to improve knowledge transfer of health and safety
standards for offshore platform operations and multi-use
logistics, addressing questions such as safety
requirements of multi-use systems. But multi-use is also
new and assessing risks is yet a difficult exercise. An
important way forward is to gain joint experiences and
develop a common way of looking at risks, from multiple
points of view. The workshop consists of two parts:
1. Hands-on project experience related to safety of
multi-use offshore platforms, related logistics and risks
will be communicated. Discussing the question about
whether operations and maintenance activities can be
combined (e.g. spare parts logistics, handling of harvest,
storage and distribution) and to share insights into the
risks of multi-use at sea. Further, challenges such as
proper planning and flexible alternative scheduling for
operational modes as well as the current occupational
health and safety best practices across the sectors of the
maritime industry (health and safety standards for
offshore platform operation and related EU legislation)
and seamanship will be addressed, and how to work
with a framework for risk assessment in multi-use will be
explained.
2. An interactive part that will allow for the exchange of
lessons learned and knowledge across different case
studies to learn from experiences in various regions to
deal with the risks, under conditions of uncertainty and
ambiguity and UNITED pilots.
Ultimately, this training workshop raises awareness and
imparts knowledge about multi-use for those working in
the offshore industry construction, renewable energy
production, aquaculture, logistics. The audience of this
workshop includes practitioners, policy-makers and
stakeholders from NGO’s and local communities
