  1. MACHC Electronic Chart CommitteeReport Katie Ries Chair, MACHC Electronic Chart Committee MACHC XI Suriname November 2010

  2. MACHC-Electronic Chart Committee Goal: Demonstrate and facilitate the use of official electronic chart data for safe, efficient, and environmentally-sensitive maritime navigation. Objectives: • Facilitate the production and use of ENCs • Improve hydrographic capacity of coastal states • Identify sources for acquiring equipment, software, and training • Speed up ENC production for key ports & major shipping routes • Increase awareness of benefits of using EC data

  3. MACHC-Electronic Chart Committee Two Working Groups: MesoAmerican Capacity Building Pilot Project Improve capacity building of coastal state hydrographic offices in a defined area Initial focus: Partnership with GEF-funded Gulf of Honduras Project ENC Production and Distribution Improve ENC coverage of the entire region in the short to medium term, production of ENC data by national hydrographic offices

  4. Electronic Chart Committee Working Group 1 – MesoAmerican Capacity Building Pilot Project Working Group Members: Guatemala Honduras Belize UK USA

  5. Environmental Protection and Maritime Transport Pollution Control Gulf of Honduras Project • Project Objective: • To reverse the degradation of the coastal and marine ecosystems within the Gulf of Honduras by enhancing the prevention and control from maritime transport-related pollution in the major ports and navigation lanes, improving navigational safetyto avoid groundings and spills, and reducing land-based sources of pollution draining into the Gulf.

  6. Environmental Protection and Maritime Transport Pollution Control Gulf of Honduras Project Component 1: Building regional capacity for maritime and land-based pollution control. Component 2: Building the information base for the Strategic Action Plan. Component 3: Enhancing navigational safety in shipping lanes. Component 4: Improving environmental management and hazard reduction in network of five ports within the Gulf of Honduras

  7. Environmental Protection and Maritime Transport Pollution Control Gulf of Honduras Project Component 3: Enhancing navigational safety in shipping lanes Focuses on improving the hydrographic and oceanographic cooperation in the region to both prevent and prepare for groundings and spills in the Gulf related to marine transportation operations (references active collaboration with MACHC)

  8. Gulf of Honduras Project and MACHC Involvement 2003-2006 • Making the case for Hydrography • Regional hydrographic capacity analysis • Active involvement in the Puerto Barrio, Belize City, and Tegucigalpa project preparation meetings • Input in the project’s final design • Commitment to develop and help execute the hydrographic implementation plan

  40. Questions?

  41. Working Group 2 ENC Report

  42. Background: International Maritime Organization (IMO) carriage requirements · new passenger ships above 500GT - from July 1, 2012 · new tankers above 3,000GT - July 1, 2012 · new cargo ships above 10,000GT - July 1, 2013 · new cargo ships above 3,000GT,from July 1, 2014

  43. IMO NAV 53 • In October 2007 the IHO convened an extraordinary meeting of its WEND Committee to consider matters arising from NAV53..…which adopted the following definition: “Adequate ENC Coverage is attained with those ENCs required to enable safe port to port navigation for international shipping that correspond to the paper chart coverage for these ports and the routes between.”

  44. At its November 2009 meeting in Barbados, the MACHC endorsed the goal of the ECC/WG2 to: “Achieve adequate regional ENC coverage by December 31, 2010 (using the medium scale INT chart scheme as the baseline for adequate medium scale ENC coverage--usage bands 2/3).”

  45. 2010 Workplan • INT Chart Scheme as the “footprint” to guide ENC construction/coverage of the MACHC Region; • assess present MACHC Region ENC coverage in comparison with the “footprint;” • coordinate action plans for addressing gaps and overlaps in ENC coverage between countries; and • establish a communication strategy to track progress and resolve issues

  46. Working Group Members • Brazil • Colombia • Cuba • France • Netherlands • Mexico • United Kingdom • United States • Venezuela • MACHC INT Chart Coordinator

  47. Report Recommendations 1. MACHC ECC finalizes/completes the Region B, Atlantic Ocean side, ENC scheme for small to medium scales (UB2 to UB3), per the timetables indicated in Annex A. 2. MACHC ECC develops the Region B, Pacific side, ENC scheme for small to medium scales (UB1 to UB3). 3. MACHC ECC explores options for providing a means to depict ENC schemes on a webpage in an interoperable manner and appropriate format for GIS, as a pilot project. 4. MACHC ECC corresponds with WEND-WG RHC representatives to ensure that ENC schemes fit seamlessly with adjacent areas (i.e. SEPHC, USCHC).
