  1. IT Strategy for Waterborne Transport Director John Erik Hagen Norwegian National Coastal Administration

  2. Issues to be discussed • Brief Presentation • Description of domain • Actors and Contacts • Information exchange • Contingency and co-operation • Priorities – Future Requirements • Conclusions

  3. Domain of responsibility 57000 km shore-line in total 17 counties 282 coast communities 57 ports 764 public fishing harbours

  4. Customers and Contacts • Ca. 95 % exported goods • Ca. 75 % imported goods • Ca. 41 % domestic transport • Ca. 8% (45 mill. passengers) in domestic sea transport by public means

  5. Coastal surveillance. IT - based • Multiple public services: • Coastal Adm.:VTS, M&I-system, Pilotage, National Co-ord. of Nav. Warnings, HAZMAT Co-ord. • Defence: Coastal radar chain, maintenance of Sovereignty • Customs: Clearance and import control • Maritime Directorate: Port State Control • Fishing Directorate: Fishing licence and control • Pollution Control Auth.: Environmental surveillance and contingency planning.

  6. VTS and Traffic Control Pilot activity 1999 5.D - 5535 4. D -3340 3.D - 4544 2.D - 15060 1.D - 19196 The Port Authority of Oslo is operating an additional VTS as an integrated part of the Oslofjord VTS

  7. International Aspects • IMO (International Maritime Organisation) • EU (European Union) • IALA (International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouses Authorities) • IAPH (International Association of Ports and Harbours) • PIANC (International Navigation Association)

  8. HAZMAT (EU Dir. 93/75) • Set of Rules on ship reporting related to the carriage of dangerous and polluting goods. (Norw. bylaw 16.6.1999 nr 727 ). Main responsibilities for the Coastal Admin.: • National Competent Authority • International co-ordination • National co-ordination • Operational responsibility undertaken by Horten VTS

  9. IHO/IMO Worldwide Navigational Warning Service • Nav. Warnings are of importance to the mariner at the earliest possible stage. • The information should be integrated in ECDIS or made available in another operational system on the bridge. The information should be linked to a Geographical Information System.

  10. NET-WORKING • NMR (Nordic Council) has establisheda Nordic Network bringing together the different transport modes to promote multi-modal transport. • NOMIT (Nordic Maritime IT). A network established between the Nordic Waterborne Transport Authorities to promote co-operation in the development of marine IT systems. • Norwegian Net-working. ANet-workis established by theMinistry of Transportto promote national multimodal transport and co-operation .

  11. Co-ordinated Message and Information System (M&I) • Objective: ”One message – Many users” • Background: Report 31.5.95. • Responsible: Norw. Coastal Admin. • Task : Receive and distribute information • Requirement: A general bylawon reporting. • Progress: : Step wise development including systems like Advance Notification, Clearance Notification, Pilot Notification, HAZMAT, Schengen Notification and AIS etc.

  12. Automatic Identification System (AIS) • AIS shall according IMO: • Automatic reporting to shore and other vessels on e.g.: Identity, Type, Position, Course and Speed • Automatic reception of similar information . • Surveillance and tracking. • Exchange of information with land based installations.

  13. Contingency Concept • The in- house Contingency Plan contains 14 different scenarios taking into account possible accident and happenings that might occur in the coastal area. • This plan shall interact with contingency plans established by other authorities and actors with such responsibility. • The access to and presentation of information is of the outmost importance. • The access to same information for different actors involved in the same operation is of equal importance on a ”need to know” basis.

  14. R&D Program R&D Co-ordination INTERNAL SYST. FARGIS Maritime IT PORT & COAST ENGENEER. TRANS- PORT

  15. R&D CHALLENGES • DEVELOP EFFECTIVE NETWORKS • PROMOTE MULTI MODAL TRANSPORT • CREATE R&D FUNDING • MAKE R&D RESULTS OPERATIONAL • STIMULATE PUBLIC – PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP • AVOID OVERLAPPING IN R&D • BENEFIT BY SYNERGY

  16. Waterborne transport R&D Challenges • Develop international reporting syst. • Copy ATC to become STC in all waters. • Reduce the workload on the bridge. • Establish decision support systems. • Interlinking contingency plans and info.. • Introduce accepted GIS interfaces. • Increase Waterborne R&D.

  17. CONCLUSIONWaterborne transport is of increased importance, but operations and systems may be improved. International development should be promoted based on national experience and requirements. Networking break down boarders and support understanding and general solutions.FARGIS is playing an important role in that respect and will be supported by the Coastal Administration to continue the activity.
