e-Navigationand it’s applicability to inland waterways

e-NavigationInternational definition (IMO, IALA):
“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”
“Information Paper on the Draft IALA Recommendation e-Nav 140 on e-Navigation Architecture – the shore perspective”
e-Navigation: “three sides of the coin”
“Information Paper on the Draft IALA Recommendation e-Nav 140 on e-Navigation Architecture – the shore perspective”
e-Navigation issues• Internationally developed – very SOLAS focused
• Naturally ship-centric• “blue-water” vs. inland waterways
• Still conceptual – IMO implementation plan:• Identify user needs• Develop an e-Navigation architecture• Complete studies: gap analysis, cost-benefit analysis, risk
analysis• Plan to be finalized in 2012
• National vs. international interests, capabilities, authorities, etc.• Technical issues• How do we address these?• How can we start to get the benefits of e-Nav sooner?
U.S. National e-Navigation Strategy
• “Strategic Action Plan”• Committee on the Marine
Transportation System• Concrete efforts • Based on existing systems• To address existing needs
“The U.S. vision for e-Navigation is:To establish a framework that enables the transfer of data between and among ships and shore facilities, and that integrates and transforms that data into decision and action information.”

Summary
• e-Navigation is a developing concept• There are huge potential benefits,
but some issues• “Third side of the coin”• e-Navigation will be built on existing
capabilities – let’s get started!

Overview
• RIS concept• RIS-related projects• LOMA– Current capabilities– Future capabilities
Main functions of RIS• Waterway infrastructure information– IENCs– Met-Hydro data (obs. & forecasts)– Navigation Notices/Notices to Mariners
• Vessel traffic information– Traffic monitoring– Traffic management (lock management)– Calamity management
• Voyage information– Electronic cargo– Voyage planning

RIS “Portal”
Correlated data:- Dangerous cargo tracking- Waterway statistics- Value added services- Need to address data protection
One-time, standardized reporting
Other agencies’
data
Vessel info:-AIS-USCG
Barge/Cargo info from industry
Lock & waterway info from USACE
RIS-related projects
• FILS-FINDE– Data standards and sharing
• USCG Louisville testbed– Use USCG AIS capability to transmit
USACE lock operations data
• Initial data sharing efforts– USCG AVIS information
• LOMA – initial RIS “foundation”
U.S. Inland Waterways lock locations
• Provide end users information needed for decision support
• Goals:– Increase lock operator situational awareness– Provide vessel operators better information– Provide better information to Corps management– Exchange information with external users
• AIS is the central LOMA technology

LOMA overview
Current LOMA Capabilities
• Lock operator situational display• AIS vessel information
• Zone management• Playback capability
Current LOMA benefits• Better planning– Advance knowledge
of vessel traffic
• Reduced equipment cycling
• Unexpected benefits– Clearance of
debris/drift/ice
• Integration with other systems
• Channel Portfolio Tool• SMARTGate
• Industry data• Approaching tow information
• Real time met/hydro information• Sensors• Observations• Predictions
Future Capabilities
• Hydrodynamic modeling– Historical observations
and analysis
• Transit time– Long term predictions,
for waterway managers and industry
• System optimization– Maximize throughput– Emergency
prioritization
Future Capabilities:Predictive tools
Where do we stand?
• AIS– USCG Nationwide AIS, LOMA
• IENCs– US Army Corps of Engineers, NOAA
• Notices to Skippers– Initial harmonization work underway
• Electronic voyage reporting– Initial discussions underway
