Number of EGC SafetyNET messages & size per ocean region
* - Increased number is caused by multi-repeated messages due to a technical problem with Burum LES On average 620-880 EGC SafetyNET messages of all service types are broadcast in all ocean regions per day, including repeated messages, of which: AOR-E: 125 - 155 messages per day (120-150 of last year report); AOR-W: 76 – 126 messages per day (60-105 of last year report);IOR: 250 – 390 messages per day (190-370 of last year report) (up to 560 in June); andPOR: 145 – 332 messages per day (130-230 of last year report) (up to 360 in June)(Size is given in number of units of 32 bytes/characters)

Contingency arrangement
• Recent problems with promulgating MSI via the EGC SafetyNET:
– Arvi LES (India) – LES was relocated and off air for some time. A few days were spent to negotiate a new traffic arrangement with Telenor and EGC SafetyNET traffic was routed via Eik LES (Norway)
– Burum LES (Australia) – software problems, which caused multiple repetition of messages, and traffic was routed via Perth LES
• In case of any problem with the addressed LES, e.g. outages, service interruption, etc., MSI providers are recommended to have (should have) a contingency arrangement with a secondary LES
• It is a commercial decision for MSI providers and Inmarsat is not able to recommend a secondary LES(s)
• Should/will CPRNW formally record a recommendation in the meeting report
Coastal areas for NAV/METAREA V
• 4 coastal areas (B1) are set up – A, B, C and D
• To receive coastal warnings ships’ EGC receivers shall be set up accordingly with B1 and B2 codes
– Note: coastal warnings are not mandatory messages to receive automatically via SafetyNET and can be missed if mobile terminals are not set up
– Mariners can set up one coastal area, two, three or all areas (B1 code) and any/all type of messages (B2 code)
• Similar map and other information on the new service shall be published in the ALRS, Vol 5
– See example in ALRS, Vol. 5 for NAV/METAREA X
• Area V broadcast shall be done to inform all shipsabout the new service including B1 and B2 codes (not sure if it has already been done or not)
• 58 Coastal Warnings were sent via Tangua LES in the AOR-E in August

To: All ships in the Arctic area to the North of 71 deg.
The IMO International SafetyNET Panel is planning to enhance EGC services via the Inmarsat C system and include new Arctic areas to broadcast navigational and meteorological information. To define possible new Arctic areas, it is important to know the practical limits of Inmarsat coverage where future maritime safety information may be made available. This message is to ask all ships navigating in high latitudes, close to the Inmarsat satellite coverage limit, to report to Inmarsat Maritime Safety Services the following information:
1. ship’s name2. position (lat and long) above 71 deg North3. date/time of position4. maximum known latitude from your current or previous voyages where Inmarsat reception is constantly available
Inmarsat will treat your position information as confidential and will not disclose it to third parties.

• More than hundred Russian flag vessels use NSR in summer time from West to Siberian rivers and inside inland waterways on long 60-80 deg East and back (shown as blue dots – position info received from shipping companies). Some traffic goes from East as well. All have Inmarsat-C.• A few dozens Russian flag vessels plus icebreakers are in the western part in winter time. All have Inmarsat-C. • Foreign flag vessels go to Murmansk and Arkhangelsk• More passages are expected due to “global warming”
Some facts about MSI in Arctic waters under IOR satellites(some information is from private sources and not confirmed officially)
• MSI (meteo) is broadcast via IOR satellite to the rectangular area 67N044E16081 (shown as red dotted area) by St. Petersburg Arctic-Antarctic institute, C2 service code = 04• MSI for Barents Sea is provided by Norway, Murmansk and Arkhangelsk via Navtex. Weather charts are transmitted by Germany and UK on HF • During summer time MSI for the western par of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) is broadcast by some northern ports via telephone. No facsimile service is available• The Russian administration of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) supports the idea of using EGC SafetyNET for the entire route (to Bering strait) in summer and the western part in winter time• Icebreakers receive facsimile weather maps via satellite from Moscow (commercial service)• Many “traditional” HF radio stations are closed.
Northern Sea Route is now open but foreign vessels (except Russian flag vessels) do not use it yet mainly due to the lack of ice-class vessels. Ice-breaker support/escort is compulsory (in some areas???)
