THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF BUOY MONITORING SYSTEM: MARITIME SAFETY MANAGEMENT (CASE STUDY IN PERSIAN GULF)

Maritime crisis management includes assessment of risk, determination of the way to achieve the lowest possible (or acceptable) level of risk, the establishment of systems and procedures to maintain the system at an acceptable level, the preparation (contingency planning) required to deal with events which could take place, and the management of response organizations and actions resulting from this preparation when an incident occurs. Each of these elements has an economic cost and a key element in maritime crisis management is the rational allocation of these costs. The objective of this paper is to present a method for Forecasting and warning marine hazards and helping the response organizations for best Crisis Management of Marine Hazards. A buoy can have many purposes. It can be anchored (stationary) or allowed to drift with the sea wave, also it aids pilotage by marking a maritime channel, hazard and administrative area to allow boats and ships to navigate safely. Buoys maintenance by typical ways is very costly process and increase maritime hazards and vulnerabilities.
