  1. ACCSEAS:e-Navigation and its benefits to the environment Dr Alwyn I. Williams ACCSEAS Project Manager BE-AWARE II Final Conference Ronneby, Sweden 18th November 2015

  2. What is e-Navigation? IMO definition: e-Navigation is the harmonised • collection, • integration, • exchange, • presentation and • analysis of maritime information on-board and ashore by electronic means • to enhance berth to berth navigation and related services, • for safety and security at sea and • protection of the marine environment.

  3. What is ACCSEAS?

  4. Shipping Challenges in the North Sea Region Growth in off-shore Installations Reduced sea-space and manoeuvrability Traffic pinch-points Increased shipping density

  5. Analysing the region

  6. ACCSEAS e-Navigation Testbed Solutions

  7. Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing • Resilient PNT Receiver • GNSS • e-Loran • DGNSS receiver • Processor • Used on P&O Ferry • Simulated GPS failure • Seamlessly swapped to eLoran for PNT • GPS jamming simulator • Absolute Radar Positioning • DGNSS R-Mode Study and Trials

  8. Tactical Route Exchange/Exchange of Suggested Routes • Allows the mariner or VTS to see and exchange other routes • Tested in simulator and on P&O Ferry • Uses “Maritime Cloud” for shore/ship comms • Excellent feedback • “We’ll miss this when we go back home!”

  9. Vessel OperationsCo-ordination Tool • Easier communication of search patterns • Carried out on-board trials • Trial with Dutch coastguard • Very successful • Test dummy found immediately! • Can also be used to assist pollution clean-up operations

  10. No-go Areas • Identifies areas of grounding based on tide, bathymetry and ship information • Trialled in both on-board and simulated environments • Generally, good response to the service • Usefulness is seen by users

  11. Route Topology Model • Flexible description of ship movement within constraints: maximize use of available sea space • Help identify services to mitigate risks

  12. Demonstration Video

  13. Training Needs Analysis • Identify impact of the new technology on training and human element • Use of Simulators on e-Navigation Training and Demonstrations Report • Training Needs Analysis Report

  14. ACCSEAS Legacy • Final Report on ACCSEAS solutions • Support and advise EU initiatives, particularly e-Maritime • Inform e-Navigation and S-100 developments at IMO, IHO and IALA • Future coordination of North Sea Region e‐Navigation development • Sustainability Workplan to enhance accessibility and safety to the North Sea Region

  15. e-Navigation Timescales ACCSEAS EfficienSea 2

  16. Conclusions • Maritime safety and accessibility is predicted to be an increasing challenge in the North Sea Region • e-Navigation has the potential to improve safety, accessibility and protection of the environment • e-Navigation Services • Resilient PNT
