4. E-Navigation: A Definition “The collection, integration and display of maritime information aboard and ashore by electronic means to enhance berth-to-berth navigation and related services, safety and security at sea, and the protection of the marine environment” (IALA) – presently under review due to perceived lack of breadth and clarity safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

5. E-Navigation: The Main Drivers • Safety of life at sea • Marine environmental protection • Maritime security • Enhanced maritime transport logistics • Potential reduction in reliance on traditional aids to navigation Primary considerations are (1) costs and benefits, (2) human factors and (3) technology. safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas
