(special elements of the reference data are: hull base data and the RIS index) • RIS references and code tables are key elements in the RIS standards and are an important link between the various RIS-services. The exchange of computerized data between RIS users and the RIS services is facilitated by the use of codes and references

20. RIS keytechnologies and reference data

21. Basic technologies related to RIS • Apart from the RIS Key Technologie, are there two basic technologies being already for many decades important navigation supporting technologies and they will not be replaced the Key Technologies, but are supporting the use of RIS services.

22. Basic technologies related to RIS • Apart from the RIS Key Technologie, are there two basic technologies being already for many decades important navigation supporting technologies and they will not be replaced the Key Technologies, but are supporting the use of RIS services. • Radiotelephone service on inland waterways - ship to ship - nautical information - ship to authorities

23. Basic technologies related to RIS • Apart from the RIS Key Technologie, are there two basic technologies being already for many decades important navigation supporting technologies and they will not be replaced the Key Technologies, but are supporting the use of RIS services. • Radiotelephone service on inland waterways - ship to ship - nautical information - ship to authorities • Radar - primary navigation tool and the basis for tactical traffic image on board - Shore based radar is the primary information for a tactical traffic image in a VTS

24. Conclusions and recommendations 1 • Authorities are mainly responsible for the implementation of RIS services, users starting with the application of RIS, Industry developing new systems and applications require stable standards;

25. Conclusions and recommendations 1 • Authorities are mainly responsible for the implementation of RIS services, users starting with the application of RIS, Industry developing new systems and applications require stable standards; • The development, implementation and operational use of RIS and the interoperability of RIS services and maritime information services will benefit from developments in the Maritime environmentas there are in special the e-Navigation concept and in Europe the e-Maritime concept;

26. Conclusions and recommendations 1 • Authorities are mainly responsible for the implementation of RIS services, users starting with the application of RIS, Industry developing new systems and applications require stable standards; • The development, implementation and operational use of RIS and the interoperability of RIS services and maritime information services will benefit from developments in the Maritime environment as there are in special the e-Navigation concept and in Europe the e-Maritime concept; • Information exchange in an international network requires legislative measures to provide the data on basis of a need to know principle, but also to protect privacy and prevent misuse of commercial sensitive information

27. Conclusions and recommendations 2 • Traffic management - including Lock and bridge management - in a transport corridor requires an integrated network-approach where the information services to the users are an interactive part of voyage and traffic planning processes.

28. Conclusions and recommendations 2 • Traffic management - including Lock and bridge management - in a transport corridor requires an integrated network-approach where the information services to the users are an interactive part of voyage and traffic planning processes. • Traffic planningis becoming more and more an essential and explicit part of RIS Traffic Management. Traffic Planning should be taken in account in the RIS implementation guidelines.

29. Conclusions and recommendations 2 • Traffic management - including Lock and bridge management - in a transport corridor requires an integrated network-approach where the information services to the users are an interactive part of voyage and traffic planning processes. • Traffic planning is becoming more and more an essential and explicit part of RIS Traffic Management. Traffic Planning should be taken in account in the RIS implementation guidelines. • Support to transport planning requires that the RIS authorities are willing and authorised to provide information on vessels, their positions, their voyages and cargo to third parties. There are legal obstructions, mainly driven by privacy regulations, on the provision of these services. This hampers the use of RIS information for logistic services and consequently it hampers the development of related transport services;

30. Conclusions and recommendations 3 • In Europe, the RIS Directive should cover for Europe the complete network of navigable fairways with respect to the publication of NtS and network reference information – RIS Index – as this is essential for the visualisation of the NtS information in Inland ECDIS and implementation of voyage planning applications;

31. Conclusions and recommendations 3 • In Europe, the RIS Directive should cover for Europe the complete network of navigable fairways with respect to the publication of NtS and network reference information – RIS Index – as this is essential for the visualisation of the NtS information in Inland ECDIS and implementation of voyage planning applications; • Good coverage, free availability to fairway users and software companies, easy accessibility and regular updates of Inland ENC’sare essential as this contributes to safety and efficiency of navigation on the inland waterway network and is essential for the acceptance of the user;

32. Conclusions and recommendations 3 • In Europe, the RIS Directive should cover for Europe the complete network of navigable fairways with respect to the publication of NtS and network reference information – RIS Index – as this is essential for the visualisation of the NtS information in Inland ECDIS and implementation of voyage planning applications; • Good coverage, free availability to fairway users and software companies, easy accessibility and regular updates of Inland ENC’s are essential as this contributes to safety and efficiency of navigation on the inland waterway network and is essential for the acceptance of the user; • As inland navigation is an international transport mode, the users – and providers of services and applications – would benefit from one single information entrance to get the fairway information used during international voyages. The implementation of a (virtual) central FIS portal for a complete waterway network is very beneficial for users and industry;

33. Conclusions and recommendations 4 • Electronic reportingsupports safety and calamity abatement services and as such electronic reporting should be made mandatory in a stepwise approach;

34. Conclusions and recommendations 4 • Electronic reporting supports safety and calamity abatement services and as such electronic reporting should be made mandatory in a stepwise approach; • In many RIS related processes the implementation and use of Inland AIS on board as well as on shore is a pre-condition. The full scale benefit of Inland AIS for RIS services requires a carriage requirement for Inland AIS;

35. Conclusions and recommendations 4 • Electronic reporting supports safety and calamity abatement services and as such electronic reporting should be made mandatory in a stepwise approach; • In many RIS related processes the implementation and use of Inland AIS on board as well as on shore is a pre-condition. The full scale benefit of Inland AIS for RIS services requires a carriage requirement for Inland AIS; • The basic reference table on location codes, the so called RIS Index, is the consistent and unambiguous basis for many RIS services. It is highly recommended to start a procedure to formalize the RIS index as the mandatory electronic format for geo-related objects.
