What is E Maritime?

The scope of e-Navigation as defined by the IMO and formulated by IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities) is the harmonized collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of marine information onboard and ashore by electronic means to enhance berth to berth navigation and related …

What are the 3 main technical components of e-navigation?

Automatic Identification Systems (AIS)

  • Electronic Nautical Charts (ENC) and Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS)
  • E-navigation.
  • Hydrographic data, nautical charts and nautical publications.
  • Long-range identification and tracking (LRIT)
  • Pilotage.
  • Places of refuge.
  • Preventing Collisions.

    • What does electronic navigation mean?

    Electronic navigation are forms of navigation that ships, land vehicles, and people can use, which rely on technology powered by electricity. Methods of electronic navigation include: Satellite navigation, satellite navigation systems. Radio navigation, the application of radio frequencies to determining a position.

    How is radar used in navigation?

    A mandatory aid to navigation, the radar is used in identifying, tracking (with integrated ARPA) and positioning of vessels (including one’s own vessel) among other things in order to adhere to the COLREGs so as to safely navigate a ship from one point to another.

    What is safety of navigation?

    Safety systems for general navigation are the basic tools used by mariners to fix vessel position, obtain information about the physical environment and operating conditions, and communicate with other vessels and shore-based personnel.

    What is contingency Anchorage?

    What is Contingency Anchorage? An Anchorage area marked after the abort point and point of no return where, the ship can anchor in the case of an emergency if the events do not go as planned and the vessel had to take emergency action.

    What is the purpose of ECDIS?

    The purpose of ECDIS is to replace paper charts altogether and make them obsolete. ECDIS works in conjunction with rugged Marines displays and other technologies including GPS (Global Positioning Systems) and in compliance with the SOLAS Convention to enhance overall navigational safety procedures.

    Why is electronic navigation important?

    The main aim of e-Navigation is to enhance navigation safety of the ships while simultaneously reducing the burden on navigational officers. A well coordinated and systematic system under e-navigation would considerable increase the efficiency of the ships not only at the sea but also at the ports.

    What is the advantage of e-navigation?

    e-navigation can thereby help reduce navigational accidents, errors and failures by developing standards for an accurate and cost-effective system that would make a major contribution to the IMO’s agenda of safe, secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans.

    What are the 2 main tasks of radar?

    The basic principle of radar is to determine the range to an object or “target” by measuring the time required for an extremely short pulse of very high radio frequency, transmitted as a radio wave, to travel from a reference source (own ship) to a target and return as a reflected echo.

    What is e-navigation and how it works?

    The inception of e-Navigation concept took place way back in the year 2006, when the International Maritime Organization (IMO) decided to include a well-defined strategy to integrate new and existing navigational tools for enhancing handling and safety of ships at the sea.

    Who is involved in e-navigation strategy development?

    Since then, MSC has been leading and coordinating the work on the development of e-navigation strategy with active participation from relevant IMO Sub‑Committees (COMSAR, NAV1, STW2 and FAL), Member States, international organizations (e.g. IALA and IHO) and industry representatives. What is e-navigation?

    What is an e-navigation SIP?

    The main objective of the e-navigation SIP is to implement the following five e-navigation solutions: S3: improved reliability, resilience and integrity of bridge equipment and navigation information; S4: integration and presentation of available information in graphical displays received via communication equipment; and

    Is there a new item on e-navigation in NAV?

    It was therefore proposed to add a new item on e-navigation to the work programme of the Sub-Committee on Safety of Navigation (NAV) and also to that on Radiocommunications and Search and Rescue (COMSAR).
