Subject: Copernicus Maritime Surveillance Service: capabilities
to support at-sea operations
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope this letter finds you well in view of the current situation with COVID-19.
The purpose of this communication is to recall to you the capabilities of the Copernicus Maritime Surveillance
(CMS) service, which is the service delegated by the European Commission to EMSA in the framework of the
European Union Copernicus Programme.
Through CMS, EMSA is since 2016 already providing to 42 different organizations from 15 Member States
and European Institutions with timely, relevant, and targeted satellite-based maritime information.
This service could be used, in combination with the EMSA integrated Maritime Information Services (IMS), in
cases such as:
• Safety of navigation: to support search and rescue operations of a longer duration;
• Safety of navigation: to detect drifting containers or abandoned ships;
• Monitoring ship-to-ship transfers;
• Monitoring traffic separation schemes;
• Monitoring windmill farms at sea;
• Monitoring vessels of interest: e.g. nuclear transport, end-of-lifetime vessels sailing to ship recycling
sites;
• Operations where an up-to-date coastline map is needed;
• Environmental protection: to supplement the CleanSeaNet Service and support the detection and
monitoring of oil spills in non-European waters;
• Others.
If not done already, we would like to invite your organisation to start testing and using the CMS service in
support to your operations at sea. The process is rather simple, and the first step consists on filling up the
attached CMS Registration Form and to sending it to
[email protected].
The CMS team at EMSA is also available to provide a more in-depth introduction to the service, describe the
different satellite data types available and the value-added products that are extracted from satellite imagery,
such as vessel and objects of interest detection or oil spill detection. The team can help you understand what

services would fit your operations better. Please do not hesitate to contact at
[email protected]
with queries or to ask for a teleconference.
You may find more information describing the CMS services and the satellite products under the following link:
http://www.emsa.europa.eu/copernicus.html
I would like to take this opportunity to express my hopes that we will be able to strengthen our support to
Member States in the near future.
Yours sincerely,

[email protected] Date of submission: dd/mm/ yyyy Purpose The purpose of the User Registration Form is two-fold. To register new users in the Copernicus Maritime Surveillance service (CMS). The form requests information regarding the user organisation and type of activity carried out. To assist the users in describing their activities in order to provide a basis for ascertaining which Earth Observation (EO) products are appropriate to support their maritime operations. The information provided in the User Registration Form is intended to be broad in scope and should be general to all operations carried out by the user. The specific service requirements for any given operation or campaign are defined in more detail in the service request. To update any information previously submitted (e.g. point of contact), an updated User Registration Form can be submitted. The CMS team is prepared to assist the users in any aspect related to the completion of this form. CMS team contact:
[email protected] . Please note that the registration to the CMS service enables users to place routine and short notice requests. Requests for support to maritime emergencies and exercises are outside of scope and shall be sent to the MSS:

Question Information Name Role in organisation E-mail Phone number(s) Authorized Users Please identify the users in your organisation that will be authorized to place EO service requests to EMSA in the scope of the CMS service. First name Last name Role in Organization Email address Operational details Area of Operation Please describe broadly your area(s) of interest. Smaller, more targeted areas of interest will be specified only when service requests are placed . The definition here is to give EMSA a general overview of the regions where you operate and where you will be asking for CMS services.

Please confirm whether you/your organization is already authorised as a user of the EMSA portal. If so, please insert the User Account(s) that should have access to CMS. Access to Data ☐ Yes, I have access to the EMSA portal Insert your User Accounts and authorised Operation(s) in the portal Communication of service delivery incidents EMSA’s Maritime Support Service (MSS) may contact users to inform them regarding incident(s) affecting the operational services, namely service anomaly or cancellation. If you want to subscribe to the MSS mailing list of your organisation’s function area please list below the contact points that should receive the notification emails. Note that emails are sent to all users registered in the same functional area and therefore users might receive notifications of anomalies/cancellations that do not correspond to acquisitions they ordered. First name Last name Role in Organization Email address Data policy Handling of Sensitive Information Given the profile of CMS users and the types of operations in which they are engaged, information exchanged within the context of requesting and receiving CMS services may be considered sensitive. Although information exchanged in this context is not is not considered to be EU Classified Information, the sensitive nature of the information is nonetheless addressed by controlled procedures which have been put in place internally. Information from users is provided to the CMS team through request forms which are sent via unencrypted email. Once the request has been received, the request forms are not shared with third parties outside EMSA. Discreet data elements from the request forms are shared with satellite service providers only to the extent that is necessary to provide the requested service (e.g. definition of the area of interest and period of acquisition) . Data sharing CMS is one of the security services of the Copernicus Programme, and as such does not have an open data policy. When services are delivered they will normally be visible in the restricted EMSA portal to other authorised users, all of which are governmental authorities or EU institutions or bodies with functions in the maritime domain . Please check the box below if you agree with the Copernicus Maritime Surveillance service data access and sharing policy: Data sharing ☐ I agree to access CMS service via the EMSA portal and acknowledge that I have understood that the data ordered can be seen by all authorised users accessing the portal Data sharing restrictions: If you have restrictions on data sharing imposed by the nature of operations, please explain here If the operational activities you are undertaking are particularly sensitive, EMSA can restrict the visibility of and access to the products delivered. This option can only be implemented in justified cases as it entails additional technical steps. Please contact
[email protected] to discuss this further if applies to your operation(s). User Satisfaction Feedback All CMS services are available to authorised users free of charge. The Copernicus Programme is a user driven programme that relies on user feedback for providing a sustainable quality service. Feedback from the service is a requirement from the Copernicus Programme as it enables the understanding of the impact of the services being provided, as well as a continuous service improvement of CMS. Thus, at the end of each operation or campaign, a feedback form is sent to the CMS users with the purpose of gathering feedback on users’ satisfaction with the service and suggestions for qualitative improvement. Please check the box below if you agree to send the User Satisfaction Feedback at the end of each operation / campaign . Feedback agreement ☐ I agree, as integral part of the reception and use of CMS services, to send the completed User Satisfaction Feedback Form at the end of each operation / campaign in order to contribute to the improvement of the Copernicus Maritime Surveillance service
