Abstract(s)
Garantir elevados valores de eficácia das operações de busca e salvamento (SAR) marítimas é um desiderato essencial para as entidades responsáveis pela coordenação e execução das operações SAR, nomeadamente do Serviço Nacional para a Busca e Salvamento Marítimo (SNBSM) e da Marinha Portuguesa, em particular. A ocorrência de um sinistro, em que existe a necessidade de salvamento de um número elevado de pessoas, é definido por operação de salvamento em larga escala ou, através da terminologia inglesa, Mass Rescue Operation (MRO). Este tipo de sinistro possui caraterísticas específicas, sendo aquela que mais a determina, o facto de as capacidades SAR normalmente disponíveis pelas autoridades competentes, não serem adequadas para lidar com os efeitos do sinistro.
Os sinistros com navios de cruzeiro são um dos casos de estudo mais importantes relativamente à condução de MROs porque, devido à quantidade de passageiros que transportam, podem assumir consequências elevadas. Um fator relevante para esta importância é o aumento de investimento em Portugal por parte das indústrias destes navios. Um bom exemplo é o Porto de Lisboa, que entre os anos de 2009 e 2015, contabilizou 2 243 escalas de navios de cruzeiros em que foram transportados mais de 3,5 milhões de pessoas.
Utilizando dados provenientes do Automatic Identification System (AIS), tratados através de um protótipo criado em software Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) é possível analisar as principais rotas de navegação dos navios de cruzeiro. Com estas, pretende-se calcular a vulnerabilidade dos navios de cruzeiro nas diversas áreas de jurisdição nacional. O resultado da análise dos dados com este protótipo é a criação de mapas de vulnerabilidade. Estes mapas irão fornecer uma forma de avaliar quais as áreas que merecem mais importância, por parte da Marinha Portuguesa (MP), em termos de busca e salvamento marítimo.
The efficacy of maritime search and rescue operations are a major concern for the authorities responsible for conducting those operations. A Mass Rescue Operation is defined as a rescue operation in response to an incident in which there is the need for rescuing a large number of persons in distress. In a MRO, the capabilities normally available to search and rescue authorities are inadequate to cope with the incident. Incidents involving cruise ships are a current source of concern regarding MROs due to the large number of persons carried, which may have high consequences. A relevant factor that explains this importance is the increase of investment in Portugal by the cruise ships industries. A good example of this investment is Lisbon harbor that accounted 2 243 scales of cruise ships between the years of 2009 and 2015, where were transported more than 3.5 million people. It is possible to analyze the cruise ships routes using data from the AIS system. This data is used in a prototype created with MATLAB. Data from the cruise ship’s routes are processed and analyzed to calculate the cruise ships vulnerability in the Portuguese maritime areas. The result of the data analyses process performed within the developed prototype is the creation of vulnerability maps. These maps will provide relevant information to evaluate those areas that should require more attention or concern by Portuguese Navy, in terms of search and rescue.
