Abstract
Abstract. Applications to derive maritime value added products like oil spill and ship detection based on remote sensing SAR image data are being developed and integrated at the Ground Station Neustrelitz, part of the German Remote Sensing Data Center. Products of meteo-marine parameters like wind and wave will complement the product portfolio. Research and development aim at the implementation of highly automated services for operational use. SAR images are being used because of the possibility to provide maritime products with high spatial resolution over wide swaths and under all weather conditions. In combination with other information like Automatic Identification System (AIS) data fusion products are available to support the Maritime Situational Awareness.

1.1 ObjectiveMarine resources become more and more important for the European and global economy
Research and development aims at automated near real time (NRT) applications based on a remote sensing multi-sensor approach in a synergetic use with ground-based sensor data
All processing steps are triggered by the oil detection processing rule, added to the Processing System Management (PSM) control system which is calling a sequence of additional processing steps
Summary
Marine resources become more and more important for the European and global economy. The priorities for the EU Integrated Maritime Policy, created in 2007, are to improve maritime safety and security, reduce pollution and to fight against illegal activities. Its primary goal is to achieve good environmental status (GES) for EU marine waters by 2020. Research and development aims at automated near real time (NRT) applications based on a remote sensing multi-sensor approach in a synergetic use with ground-based sensor data. This enables supporting of service providers and Copernicus downstream services, supplying timely information for the maritime domain
