1. ACCSEAS: e-Navigation and its benefits to the environment Dr Alwyn I. Williams ACCSEAS Project Manager BE-AWARE II Final Conference Ronneby, Sweden 18 th November 2015

2. What is e-Navigation? IMO definition: e-Navigation is the harmonised collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of maritime information on-board 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.

3. What is ACCSEAS?

4. Shipping Challenges in the North Sea Region Increased shipping density Traffic pinch- points Growth in off-shore Installations Growth in off-shore Installations Reduced sea- space and manoeuvrability

5. Analysing the region

6. ACCSEAS e-Navigation Testbed Solutions Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Tactical Route Exchange and Route Suggestion Route Topology Model Maritime Safety Information/Notice to Mariners No-go Area Service Augmented Reality Heads-up Display Automated FAL Reporting Vessel Operations Co-ordination Tool Dynamic Ship Movement Prediction Inter-VTS Exchange System

7. Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing Resilient PNT Receiver – GNSS – e-Loran – DGNSS receiver – Processor Used on P&O Ferry – Simulated GPS failure – Seamlessly swapped to eLoran for PNT GPS jamming simulator Absolute Radar Positioning DGNSS R-Mode Study and Trials

8. Tactical Route Exchange/Exchange of Suggested Routes Allows the mariner or VTS to see and exchange other routes Tested in simulator and on P&O Ferry Uses “Maritime Cloud” for shore/ship comms Excellent feedback – “We’ll miss this when we go back home!”

9. Vessel Operations Co-ordination Tool Easier communication of search patterns Carried out on-board trials Trial with Dutch coastguard – Very successful – Test dummy found immediately! Can also be used to assist pollution clean-up operations

10. No-go Areas Identifies areas of grounding based on tide, bathymetry and ship information Trialled in both on-board and simulated environments Generally, good response to the service Usefulness is seen by users

11. Route Topology Model Flexible description of ship movement within constraints: maximize use of available sea space Help identify services to mitigate risks

12. Demonstration Video

13. Training Needs Analysis Identify impact of the new technology on training and human element Use of Simulators on e- Navigation Training and Demonstrations Report Training Needs Analysis Report

14. ACCSEAS Legacy Final Report on ACCSEAS solutions Support and advise EU initiatives, particularly e- Maritime Inform e-Navigation and S-100 developments at IMO, IHO and IALA Future coordination of North Sea Region e‐Navigation development Sustainability Workplan to enhance accessibility and safety to the North Sea Region

15. e-Navigation Timescales 2006 IMO started discussions on e- Navigation 2008 IMO approved development of the e-Navigation Strategy Implementation Plan 2010 Target date for initial architecture 2014 E-Navigation Strategy Implementation Plan Approved by IMO 2015 First phase of implementation starts 2019 First phase of implementation completed 2020+ Continuous development of e-Navigation ACCSEAS EfficienSea 2

16. Conclusions Maritime safety and accessibility is predicted to be an increasing challenge in the North Sea Region e-Navigation has the potential to improve safety, accessibility and protection of the environment – e-Navigation Services – Resilient PNT
