SmartBuoy technology and integration with oil spill detection networks

Deliverable present and discuss the SmartBuoy technology which turn conventional navigational buoys into platform for the environmental and oceanographic data collection and real time delivery. As navigation buoys are naturally located in key points of the fairways, SmartBuoys would provide the data about sea state exactly from where the vessels need it the most. Probability of oil spills is also highest on fairways, which motivates to equip SmartBuoys with oil detection sensors and having a real time early warning reporting system.
