  1. THE AIDS TO NAVIGATION (AtoN) SERVICE IN SPAIN May 2014

  2. The Spanish Setting

  3. According to Article 149.1(20) of the Spanish Constitution, exclusive competence over coastal lights and marine signals corresponds to the Central State Administration PUERTOS DEL ESTADO GOVERNMENT AGENCY (Puertos del Estado) National Framework (Royal Decree-Law 2/2011 of 5 September approving the revised text of the State Ports and Merchant Marine Act.)

  4. Puertos del Estado • Government Agency dependent on the Ministry of Public Works National Framework • Responsible for implementing the Government's ports policy • Coordination and control of the Spanish maritime signalling system • 28 port authorities manage 46 general-interest ports (commercial ports)

  9. Lighthouse Commission The Commission was set up under the name of the “Standing Lighthouse Commission” on 4 January 1842 as a nation-wide technical organisation to define and establish Spanish AtoNs. It was comprised of engineers holding a civil engineering degree as well as Spanish navy officers, who had the same category. After being totally reformed, today it is governed by the Ministerial Order of 27 February 1996 and called the Lighthouse Commission. Several organisations connected with maritime signalling are represented in it. The Lighthouse Commission

  10. Collegiate body dependent on the Ministry of Public Works (Ministerial Order 27/02/1996) Reason: Implementation of the coordination competence set forth in Act 27/1992 Voting members: Puertos del Estado, Navy Hydrographical Institute, Directorate-General of the Merchant Marine, Directorate-General of Civil Aviation, SASEMAR Non-voting members: ANAVE, Federation of Fishermen's Guilds, Federation of Marinas The Lighthouse Commission

  11. Putting forward the policy and strategy for the entire national maritime signalling and AtoN system. • Planning and setting targets, service and quality levels, technical guidelines, standards, inspection and control. • Performing tasks inherent to the Lighthouse Commission's Deputy Chairmanship and Standing Secretariat. Functions

  12. Promoting training, research, development and technological innovation in the area of AtoNs. Functions • Enhancing the conservation of historical and technical heritage and representing Spain in international forums, organisations and committees dedicated to this matter.

  13. Facilitating harmonisation among different organisations and institutions responsible for providing the national AtoN service and with neighbouring countries in border areas, as well as gathering users' needs and expectations. Functions

  35. Remote monitoring systems – whether or not they are equipped with remote control – contribute to enhancing the service provided to mariners. Their implementation allows for more effective management by optimising available resources and reducing operating costs. For each aid thus monitored there is a remote station which gathers information on the aid's operating status and transmits such information to a control centre, which centralises all data and controls the entire system. A remote monitoring system allows us to know the operating capacity of an aid to navigation through its reliability or the capability of a piece of equipment to perform the function for which it has been designed. It also allows us to know its availability or the probability that a specific aid is operational at any given moment according to the requirements laid down for it. The remote monitoring system designed by Puertos del Estado contemplates the existence of a control centre at each Port Authority equipped with remote control and a central monitoring system at Puertos del Estado, which allows the status of all the signals monitored at each Port Authority to be known.
