Pacific Regional Navigation Initiative (PRNI)

Pacific Maritime Safety ProgrammeSouth West Regional Pacific Hydrography Programme.

PRNI Aim:

• Safer maritime environment for the transport of people & goods

• Improve maritime charts and electronic navigation information Risk

Assessment

• Comply with IMO regulations for SOLAS ships to use Electronic

Navigation Charts

Introduction: Pacific Wide

Data Discovery and Access

2 Years Pilot Project

5 Countries – Niue, Cook Islands, Tonga, Samoa, Tokelau

• PRNI action to address Data Discovery and access– Collate and Analyse all bathymetry and related data held by SPC on

behalf of member PICT

– Gain agreements with PICT’s for release of data to Primary Charting Authority (PCA)

– Catalogue metadata and make available to PICT’s and PCA’s

– PCA use appropriate data to update charts
