The IALA Vision for e-Navigation

Nordic Navigation

Conference

Oslo

16 & 17 October 2007

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”

Fundamental elements needed

• ENCs

• Position-fixing

• Communications

World-wide coverage of navigational areas by ENCs

Robust fail-safe electronic positioning system (with redundancy)

Communications to link ship and shore

A representation of e-Nav

Safe Navigation

Procedures and training.

Man/Machine Interface (display, portrayal, presentation, controls)

Onboard Navigation System

Vessel Traffic Management

RadarAISLRITVessel reportingCommunicationsShip databasesSAR

Official nautical charts & publications

A descriptive view

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

e-NAV Work Ahead

• Strategy and Operations– User requirements

• AIS Technical– Concept/Architecture

– Services

• Technology for e-NAV– Position-fixing

– Communications

e-NAV Work Ahead

• Communications– Ship to shore

– Shore to Ship

– Ship to Ship

• Proposed new WGe-NAV Architecture– Onboard

– Ashore

IALA Vision for e-Navigation

• Trends in maritime operations

• Consequences for e-NAV

• Key goals

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

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

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

What’s ahead?

• Strategy

• User Requirements

• Technology

• Standards

• Information/training
