Abstract(s)
O mar é uma das maiores fontes de riqueza para Portugal. Este serve de palco a
diversas atividades de elevado interesse económico, entre as quais o transporte de
mercadorias e o turismo de cruzeiros. Simultaneamente é procurado por milhares de
banhistas todos os anos. Associadas a esta vantagem conferida a Portugal, pela sua
privilegiada localização geográfica, surgem grandes responsabilidades que o Estado
português tem de assumir, de modo a garantir a segurança daqueles que fazem uso do espaço
marítimo sob responsabilidade nacional. Esta foi aliás uma preocupação que surgiu ainda
antes das principais conferências e convenções internacionais que procuraram regulamentar
e uniformizar o Salvamento marítimo, com base nas quais Portugal, enquanto Estado
costeiro, adotou um modelo de Salvamento marítimo, adaptado à sua realidade.
Não obstante, deve ter-se em conta que, sendo a capacidade de adaptação uma maisvalia para qualquer ação de regulamentação, esta ganha ainda mais relevância quando se
procura regulamentar o Salvamento marítimo, isto é, quando se trata de salvar vidas. Assim,
para que o modelo de Salvamento marítimo implementado em Portugal consiga dar resposta
aos crescentes desafios que surgem, deve ser olhado de forma crítica e construtiva.
Na presente dissertação tomou-se, como caso de estudo, o espaço de jurisdição da
Capitania do Porto de Lisboa, tendo sido efetuado, para além da caraterização do mesmo,
um estudo direcionado ao seu Plano de Salvamento Marítimo. A partir deste estudo
procurou-se analisar a capacidade de resposta dos meios afetos às estações salva-vidas que
integram o plano anteriormente referido, por meio de um software desenvolvido para o efeito.
Este mesmo software é suscetível não só a updates como também a adaptações, pelo que é
facilmente ajustado de acordo com o objetivo da investigação, permitindo um estudo tão
abrangente quanto desejável.
Desta forma, o caso de estudo, juntamente com as conclusões que deste advêm,
servirão como ponto de partida para o melhoramento do atual modelo de Salvamento
marítimo implementado em Portugal.
The sea is one of Portugal’s biggest sources of wealth. This serves as stage for various activities of high economic interest, including freight transport and cruise tourism. Simultaneously it is sought by thousands of bathers every year. Associated with this advantage conferred to Portugal, due to its privileged geographical location, there are great responsibilities that the Portuguese State must assume, in order to guarantee the safety of those who make use of the maritime space under national responsibility. This was, moreover, a concern that arose even before the main international conferences and conventions that sought to regulate and standardize sea rescue, based on which Portugal, as a coastal State, adopted a Search and Rescue model, adapted to its reality. Nevertheless, it must be considered that, since the capacity of adaptation is an asset for any regulatory action, it gains even more relevance when trying to regulate Maritime Rescue, that is, when it comes to saving lives. Thus, for the Maritime Rescue model implemented in Portugal to be able to respond to the growing challenges that arise, it must be looked at critically and constructively. In the present dissertation, the jurisdiction area of the Captaincy of the Port of Lisbon was taken as a case study, having carried out, in addition to its characterization, a study directed to its Maritime Rescue Plan. From this study we tried to analyze the response capacity of the means assigned to the lifesaving stations that are part of the plan, using software developed for this purpose. This same software is susceptible not only to updates but also to adaptations, so it is easily adjusted according to the purpose of the investigation, allowing a study as comprehensive as desirable. In this way, the case study, together with the conclusions that come from it, will serve as a starting point for the improvement of the current model of maritime Salvage implemented in Portugal.
