  • With NOAA's predicted, real-time, and forecasted currents, people can safely dock and undock ships, maneuver them in confined waterways, and safely navigate through coastal waters. This helps to avoid ship collisions or delay the arrival of goods.

Maritime Security

Maritime Security is one of the research focus of the Institute for the Law of the Sea and International Marine Environmental Law (ISRIM). 

We are the German Delegates to the European Network of Experts on Legal Aspects of Maritime Safety and Security (Marsafenet). 

Within our research focus we are participating in a research project "Offshore Activities - Protection and Security" (OWiSS), which is supported from 2015-2017 by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF).

Moreover, we are offering academic lectures in the context of the Master Programme "Integrated Safety and Security Management" (ISSM) at the University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven. 

The Institute for the Law of the Sea and International Marine Environmental Law organized on 12 June 2015 the international Conference "Maritime Security and Offshore Activities: Legal Aspects" in Bremen. Some of the presentations are accessible on our YouTube Chanel.
