Research activities:

Cartographic and GIS Laboratory (GO Lab) will enable  the full presentation of research results obtained in other COFO labs including such areas as:

• survey data processing,
• positioning of underwater constructions and robots,
• positioning of floating objects in motion,
• waterways and infrastructure development.

The Laboratory will also address other issues, including:

• risk estimation and safety process modelling of various human activities in the marine environment,
• development of a maritime transport safety management system on the Baltic Sea as a prototype for an all-European system,
• system for safe transport and transhipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Baltic Sea area- input data analysis of shipping routes in marine and port areas,
• use of probability density functions - generation of own precise maps of port and sea waters, compatible with ECDIS and GIS systems,
• analysis of the results from the different stages of the research to generate maps (e.g. potential spill area),
• risk reduction methods - planning sufficiently large safe manoeuvring areas.
