Platforms with Hydrodynamic Conditions and Seabed; WP6, Transport and Optimization of Installation, Operation and Maintenance; WP7, Innovative Platform
Plan and Design; WP8, Economical, Technical and Environmental Feasibility of
Multi-use Platforms; and, finally, WP9, Project Dissemination and Outreach Activities (Fig. 1.3).
The structure of the packages serves the main goal of the project for the development of specific guidelines to assist future stakeholders within the offshore
industries in order to plan, establish and operate their businesses in the most optimal
way possible.
The final goal of MERMAID is to disseminate project knowledge and procedures
into the community of the professionals involved in the planning, installation,
operation, maintenance, monitoring and decommissioning of offshore platforms
and the preparation and implementation of policies and strategies for sustainable
use of sea resources, low carbon economy and eco-friendly transportation. Moreover, specific activities are also planned for the public and businesses which receive
benefits from the sustainable development of the use of marine resources, both
energy and food. The main dissemination activities include:
(i) The participation in international exhibitions: production of materials,
e.g. posters, leaflets, etc.
(ii) The establishment and updating of the project home page on the World
Wide Web.
(iii) The publication of peer-reviewed scientific papers.
