Space@Sea the Floating Solution

Abstract: This paper describes the Horizon 2020 project Space@Sea (www.spaceatseaproject.eu) which started in November 2017. This project aims to provide a concept of affordable and flexible floating islands. With increasing population and rising sea level there is a scarcity for space on land for the people to live, grow food and harvest renewable energy. Moreover, a large number of people live in areas that are exposed to the risk of flooding in case of sea level rise. These trends call for a solution at sea that crea… Show more

“…Space@Sea floating islands are designed to enable multi-use applications, e.g., combining transport activities with living facilities and aquaculture (Flikkema and Waals, 2019). These different applications comprise multiple activities taking place within the same space and time dimensions.…”

“…The spatial scale of the EIA needs to be identified, both in terms of detail and spatial extent (João, 2002). The cases are situated in the North Sea and Mediterranean (Flikkema and Waals, 2019) and are addressed at a regional level. This means that the spatial detail is at the level of the North Sea and Mediterranean Sea, without site-specific information such as species distribution within these areas.…”

“…However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, none of the already proposed approaches considers the design of an offshore terminal based on a floating platform that consists of multiple modules (i.e., interconnected floaters). Therefore, there exists no study focused on the potential of such a modular transport and logistics hub that expands in capacity and size over time to accommodate growth scenarios (Flikkema and Waals, 2019).…”
