BigDataOcean

BigDataOcean (BDO) was a 30-month H2020-RIA project started in January 2017, aiming to capitalize on modern technological innovations and revolutionize the way maritime-related industries work. Its main objective was to deliver maritime big data scenarios for the benefit of EU-based companies, organizations, and scientists. In order to achieve this, a multi-segment platform has been developed, in which various data of different velocity, variety, and volume are combined in an inter-linked, multilingual system, constituting a big-data repository of high value for the end user.  HCMR contributed to the project by implementing the Mare Protection Pilot. This service provides the operational tools – POSEIDON Oil Spill Model –, which can offer essential information for the effective management in case of oil spill pollution in the sea.
