  1. Navi Programme for Accurate Fairway Data Jarmo Hartikainen M.Sc.(C.E.), Waterways Division

  2. Background for Navi programme • New satellite based navigation/positioning systems were coming in use • Seefarers and navigators need accurate chart information (fairways and navaids) 27.9.2007

  3. Starting situation (1994) • Numeric charts were coming in use • The fairways (the infrastructure) were in good condition but thedata of fairways was not • Data storages and data systems were incufficient and lacking, only part of the data was in numeric form • Data was stored in many different archives, blocks etc. and was partly unaccurate, contradictionary, faulty and the quality was unknown 27.9.2007

  4. Aim of the navi Programme • Check and verify all the fairway data • Develope and build data systems • Get the data maintenance (maintenance processes) in order 27.9.2007

  5. Tasks in practise • Survey and measurements of fairways • sounding • sweeping • position measurements • Fairway design (re-design) • Building of data systems • Storing the checked data in data storages • Defining guidelines and verification/quality criteria 27.9.2007

  6. Target situation • Fairway lining and fairway area is defined for all fairways • Secured water depth is verified for all fairways (fairway areas) • Position and other navigational data of all navigational aids is checked • Depths (bottom topography) along fairways is checked • (100 % coverage) • Data maintenance is in condition • Fairway data corresponds to the actual and real time situation in the field. 27.9.2007

  7. NAVI PROGRAMME FOR ACCURATE FAIRWAY DATA • Task: • 19 500 km of fairways • 16 000 km maintained by FMA 27.9.2007

  8. The Fairway data Checking Process(for a Single Fairway) 27.9.2007

  9. Data systems and processes Navi Data Management • Basic registers • Sounding data • Reference point data • Verified areas • Fairway data • Data on aids to navigation • Products • Printed • charts • Raster • chart • material • and • products • ENC • Production • systems • Hydrographic • survey system • Survey and charting • software • Fairway planning • system Chart database Chart production system Other primary data Other requirements and applications 27.9.2007

  10. Work is large, long lasting and costly but necessary • start up 1994 • 2007: • 85 % of fairways for merchant shipping is checked (goal for completing 2010) • 30 % of other fairways is checked (goal for completing 2015?) • We need to have extensive, updated fairway data in data bases (fairways, navaids, depth data) • The data is used and needed in • chart production (printed charts, ENC) • maintenance and developing of infrastructure • vessel traffic service • statistics • strategic planning of fairway netwok 27.9.2007

  11. Navi (extensive, accurate and up todate fairway data) gives us new possibilities to develope our activities and give better information and service to the navigators. 27.9.2007
