OpenRisk II

The project OpenRisk II equips maritime authorities and intergovernmental organisations with the risk assessment and risk management tools and thus helps to minimise maritime accidents and their footprint on the marine environment.
In the spotlight

The Mid-Term Conference of the OpenRisk II project will be organized in Tallinn, Estonia on March 26–27, 2025. For more information visit the event page.

The conference will center on engaging national, regional, EU, and global stakeholders to gather valuable feedback, refine, and validate the risk assessment and risk management tools. Piloting workshops provide a critical opportunity for testing and collecting feedback to ensure the tools are user-friendly, practical, and optimized for real-world application.

Project summary

The project will provide new, practical and user-centered risk management tools to support the competent authorities in preventing maritime accidents, minimizing their human and environmental consequences and improving the quality of overall maritime risk management, the latter also for other modes of transport. Accordingly, the project will consist of three components: The first component, on accident prevention, will be addressed by a Baltic adaptation of the AISyRISK tool, in operational online use by authorities in Norway. In addition, a new module for ice navigation risk will be developed. The end users of this tool are maritime authorities. The second component, on minimizing consequences, will be addressed by implementing a regional online service on vulnerability of the Baltic Sea marine ecosystem to maritime spills. In addition, the project will ensure compatibility between the project solutions and other existing systems and frameworks as well as prepare for integrated regional systems. The end users of this tool are national maritime authorities. The third component, an overall risk management performance, will develop a novel tool that includes two interlinked functions: to evaluate the current risk management performance of the administration and the quality of risk assessments. The end users of this tool are maritime authorities, as well as other transport authorities and relevant stakeholders.
