The IALA Vision for e-Navigation

1. The IALA Vision for e-Navigation Nordic Navigation Conference Oslo 16 & 17 October 2007

2. IALA’s Definition “e-Navigation is the harmonised collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of maritime information onboard 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”

8. Fundamental elements needed • ENCs • Position-fixing • Communications

9. World-wide coverage of navigational areas by ENCs

10. Robust fail-safe electronic positioning system (with redundancy)

11. Communications to link ship and shore

12. Safe Navigation Watch keeping and lookout Procedures and training. Man/Machine Interface (display, portrayal, presentation, controls) Official nautical charts & publications (e.g. ENCs) Position fixing & timing Radar, AIS, LRIT Communications Onboard Navigation System Vessel Traffic Management Radar AIS LRIT Vessel reporting Communications Ship databases SAR Value Added Automated reporting Shared tactical info e-Navigation environment Value adding information - Vessel monitoring - Marine Electronic Highway - Route advice - Maritime Safety Information Value adding information - Chart corrections - Weather (forecast and/or real-time) - Route advice - MSI A representation of e-Nav

13. A descriptive view

14. IALA’s Role • All Aids to Navigation (AtoN) can be represented digitally • Evaluation and manipulation of AtoN is part of e-NAV • IALA members are responsible for AtoNs, including VTS (AIS) • IALA has a significant role to play in the development of the e-NAV concept

15. e-NAV Work Ahead • Strategy and Operations • User requirements • AIS Technical • Concept/Architecture • Services • Technology for e-NAV • Position-fixing • Communications

16. e-NAV Work Ahead • Communications • Ship to shore • Shore to Ship • Ship to Ship • Proposed new WGe-NAV Architecture • Onboard • Ashore

17. IALA Vision for e-Navigation • Trends in maritime operations • Consequences for e-NAV • Key goals

18. Trends in Maritime Operations • Increasing needs of port, coastal states • Regional cooperation • Increasing volume of info exchange between ships, ship-shore • Increasing environmental concerns • Increasing security concerns • Competition for use of waterways

19. Consequences of these Trends for e-NAV • Need for efficient data transfer between ships, ship-shore • Need for improved communications • Detection, identification, tracking beyond VTS areas and without human intervention • Risk management basis • Added training requirements

20. Key Goals of e-NAV • Safety of navigation, protection of environment • Efficiency of navigation and VTS • Efficiency of transport, logistics • Enhanced security • Support for SAR and incident management • Decision-support for ship & shore users without distraction, burden

21. What’s ahead? • Strategy • User Requirements • Technology • Standards • Information/training

22. eNAV Concept] common shore-based eNAV system architecture eNAV System Requirement Analysis eNAV services (engineering model) AIS Service as an eNAV service Radar Service as an eNAV service “Visual” AtoN Service as an eNAV service VHF Voice Communication Service as an eNAV service ... other individual eNAV Services ... Concept

23. Appli-cation 1 Application 2 Application 3 Application 4 other ships Data source Data sinks eNAV Ser-vice Physical Link (e.g. radio link) Shipborne Rx/Tx station INS other ships Application-to-application (peer-to-peer) virtualconnection Link technology proper Scope of e-NAV concept

24. e-NAV architecture • Integration of shipboard information/data processing • Information/data exchange, application-to-application in a peer-to-peer fashion • Integration of shore-based information and data processing

25. VTM - eNAV • Where e-Nav comes ashore • Expanded services • Equipment commonality • Flexibility • Shore based sensors • Higher resolution • Data recording

26. IALA and the e-Navigation Vision • Definition • Fundamental elements • Vision • Concept, Architecture, Services
