Abstract(s)
Portugal assumiu o compromisso de atingir a neutralidade carbónica até 2050, o que implica uma reestruturação profunda da sua matriz energética. Neste contexto, o espaço marítimo nacional surge como uma oportunidade estratégica para a expansão das energias renováveis, dado o seu elevado potencial, decorrente da exposição direta aos elementos do oceano Atlântico. Esta transição energética materializa-se na promoção e implementação de projetos de energia renovável offshore, que, por sua vez, introduzem novos desafios no domínio da segurança marítima, nas suas dimensões ambientais, económicas, sociais e geopolíticas. O presente trabalho tem como principal objetivo contribuir para a definição de um quadro normativo e técnico, homogéneo no contexto internacional, garantindo a segurança da navegação e a eficácia das operações de busca e salvamento marítimo (Search and Rescue, SAR) nas imediações de estruturas renováveis offshore. Para tal, procedeu-se à identificação, análise e consolidação de normativos e recomendações internacionais, com o intuito filtrar e avaliar a possível implementação em contexto nacional. O normativo analisado inclui regulamentos de sinalização marítima e aérea, regras de segurança e a definição de distâncias de segurança, a avaliação das interferências eletromagnéticas sobre os sistemas de bordo e os procedimentos a serem adotados durante as operações SAR nestas áreas. Complementarmente, é realizada uma análise de risco sobre as áreas propostas no Plano de Afetação para Energias Renováveis Offshore 2025 para Portugal Continental, com base em dados AIS, de forma a aferir os padrões de navegação existentes na área, com o intuito final de avaliar a implementação do normativo analisado. Esta dissertação visa, assim, fornecer uma base sólida e integrada para apoiar o planeamento, regulamentação e operação segura das futuras áreas de exploração offshore em Portugal Continental, salvaguardando simultaneamente a liberdade de navegação e a eficácia da resposta a emergências no mar.
Portugal has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, wich requires a profound restructuring of its energy matrix. In this context, the nation’s maritime space emerges as a strategic opportunity for renewable energy expansion, given its significant potential stemming from direct exposure to Atlantic Ocean conditions. This energy transition materializes through the promotion and implementation of offshore renewable energy projects, which, in turn, introduce new challenges in maritime safety across environmental, economic, social, and geopolitical dimensions. This study primarily aims to contribute to the development of a standardized international regulatory and technical framework that ensures navigational safety and effective maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) operations near offshore renewable energy installations. The methodology involves identifying, analyzing, and consolidating international regulations and recommendations to evaluate their potential implementation in the Portuguese context. The regulatory analysis comprehend maritime and aerial marking standards, safety rules and safety distance requirements, assessment of electromagnetic interference with onboard systems and specific SAR operational procedures for these areas. Additionally, the research includes a risk assessment of proposed areas in Portugal’s 2025 Offshore Renewable Energy Allocation Plan for mainland Portugal, using AIS data to analyze existing navigation patterns and evaluate the feasibility of implementing the examined regulations. By integrating these elements, this dissertation seeks to establish a comprehensive foundation to support the safe planning, regulation, and operation of future offshore energy developments in mainland Portugal, while simultaneously safeguarding freedom of navigation and maintaining effective emergency response capabilities at sea. The study ultimately aims to balance renewable energy expansion with critical maritime safety considerations, providing policymakers with evidence-based recommendations for Portugal’s blue energy transition.
