PURPOSE OF BOSB An initiative by nations in the surroundings of the Baltic Sea area with the aim of making a joint effort to collect and share information about HO and related data and to prioritize areas of interest in the Baltic Sea area in order to enhance maritime safety You created this PDF from an application that is not licensed to print to novaPDF printer (http://www.novapdf.com)
BOSB Memorandum of Understanding • Enhancing public awareness of the threat from HO in the Baltic Sea area • Increasing the efficiency of HOD activities in order to reduce the risk of encountering HO during maritime activities in the Baltic Sea area • Identifying and prioritizing strategic HO risk areas • Assisting Participants in the selection of areas for HOD activities • Assisting Participants with a presentation of the detailed compiled common picture during planning and preparation for HOD activities • Providing Participants with data in support of parties other than the Participants when such parties are performing or planning for instance seafloor exploration, offshore construction or installation of windmill farms in order to enhance safety and security You created this PDF from an application that is not licensed to print to novaPDF printer (http://www.novapdf.com)
COMMON PICTURE The strength of BOSB is the compiled common picture – built up by shared information, and the knowledge how to use the information, for example: Identifying and prioritizing risk areas You created this PDF from an application that is not licensed to print to novaPDF printer (http://www.novapdf.com)
