Safety at Sea - Northern Periphery INTERREG IIIB Northern Periphery Programme

The Safety at Sea - Northern Periphery project seeks to enhance maritime safety in the Northern Periphery, an area truly on the edge of Europe, with a climate that is frequently harsh, a sparse population and complicated topography.  In this sense, the project is supporting key industries operating in this area, as well as developing measures that will help protect its rich natural environment.

The five strands of the Project are:

• AIS in the Northern Periphery
• Attitudes to safety aboard fishing vessels
• Passenger ship emergency response
• Assessing future maritime safety topics
• Co-ordination with the Maritime Safety Umbrella Operation
