IMO: Development of a broad strategic vision and Implementation of an overall E-navigation Strategy

• enhance safety of navigation

• provide updated guidance and information related to safe navigation

• using electronic navigational and communication technologies already available

• improve existing routeing measures

• additional measures to improve hydrographic services

„ …the harmonized 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 “

e-navigation is a new strategy concept of the IMO,

defined as:

October 2009 Klaus Grensemann, Division WS 23 St. Petersburg 6

INS provides the mariner with a task-oriented

presentation of navigation information.

• a single integrated system giving information on planning / execution of voyages and assessment of navigation risk

• monitoring of data validity, plausibility and integrity

• alert management that is basis for bridge alert management ….

• INS is the most essential part of e-Navigation

•… the INS requirements can form the basis for the realization of an e-navigation concept

Onboard

navigation systems that benefit from the

integration of own ship sensors, supporting

information and standard user interfaces

Ashore

management of vessel traffic and related services enhanced through better provision, coordination and exchange of comprehensive data

Communication

infrastructure providing authorized seamless information transfer

e-Navigation – Elements

October 2009 Klaus Grensemann, Division WS 23 St. Petersburg 8

• a single integrated system giving information on planning/execution of voyages and assessment of navigation risk

• integration of own ship sensors and supporting information from ashore

• clear indication of risk and optimized support for decision making

• integration of navigation alerts within a ship alert management system

• uniform, consistent presentations and operation functionality

• application of ergonomic principles for bridge layout and HMI design

• data validity, plausibility and integrity, redundancy

e-Navigation – IMO high-level user needs

INS / IBS /

Bridge Alert Management

October 2009 Klaus Grensemann, Division WS 23 St. Petersburg 9

IMO decided to revise INS performance standards

activities with regard to INS

Germany coordinated the IMO correspondence group tasked to– revise the INS performance standards– revise the IBS performance standards– develop bridge alert management

Research projects initiated and funded by the German Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Affairs to support the international activities

– INS– Modular Ship Bridge

submitted to MSC for

approval 2010

also adopted:

guidelines on the application of SOLAS V/15 to INS, IBS and

bridge design

adopted by MSC 2007

The „Iron Helmsman“ The first autopilot for Ships

in 1920, the very first form of

integration

Integrated Navigation Systems INS

The core element of the future e-navigation concept

October 2009 Klaus Grensemann, Division WS 23 St. Petersburg 12

• purpose

of integrated navigation systems (INS) is to enhance the safety of navigation by providing reliable information through integrated and augmented functions

• aim

a task and situation dependent presentation of information

is based on a modular concept providing redundancy and fail safe arrangements

INS performance standards

October 2009 Klaus Grensemann, Division WS 23 St. Petersburg 13

• An INS comprises navigational tasks such as

• route planning

• route monitoring• collision avoidance

• navigation control data• navigation status and data display• alert management

An INS is defined as a composite navigation

system which performs at least the tasks

•route monitoring and

• collision avoidance.

INS navigational tasks

Modular Structure Concept

Module A – Requirements for integration of navigational information– interfacing and data exchange– validity, plausibility, integrity monitoring

Module B – Task related requirements for INS– specification of tasks– operational and functional requirements– human machine interface, incl. specification of task stations– back-up, redundancies, system failures, fallback arrangement

Module C – Requirements of the alert management– priorities and categories, states of alerts, consistent presentation– central alert management HMI– interface requirements for alert related communication

Module D – Documentation requirements

October 2009 Klaus Grensemann, Division WS 23 St. Petersburg 15

IMO decided on an implementation process for e-navigation strategy1st step: collection of detailed user needs, revision and prioritization

2nd step: outline of system architecture including hardware, data, information, communications technology and software...

German Activities with regard to e-navigation

Research projects conceived by the German Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Affairs to support the international activities

– determination of detailed e-navigation onboard user needs– conversion and integration of communication information and technologies
