The GloNoise URN Toolkit provides a structured, progressive learning pathway designed to equip stakeholders with the knowledge and skills needed to understand, assess, and mitigate Underwater Radiated Noise from ships. The toolkit is organized into three levels, each building on the previous one to support a clear and logical development of competency.
Level 1 | Foundations of Shipping URN
Introduces core concepts, terminology, key impacts, and basic mitigation principles. Learners gain essential grounding in the subject, to understand fundamental processes, recognize common risk drivers, and engage confidently with analyses and discussions.
Provides hands-on methods for conducting simplified URN assessments. Participants learn how to gather required inputs, apply basic tools, interpret outputs, and recognize common sources of uncertainty. Emphasis is placed on practical application, assumptions, and use of results in decision-making contexts.
Covers detailed methodologies, advanced modelling approaches, environmental considerations, and scenario-based evaluation. This level prepares users to carry out full URN assessments for technical, regulatory, or research applications.
Access state of the art, purpose-built tools, to support you in completing the modules, with practical resources that can be reused in your own URN assessments.
