e-Navigation Integrated Action Team (IAT)

As defined by IMO, e-Navigation is "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.“

Integrated Action Team Leads: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; U.S. Coast Guard

Purpose:The e-Navigation IAT) has developed a work plan for the implementation of the CMTS e-Navigation Strategic Action Plan. This plan outlines how the CMTS will facilitate e-Navigation concepts and activities in a cross-agency manner, coordinated with industry and other stakeholders.

The CMTS e-Navigation IAT will facilitate the coordinated and integrated collection, processing, and dissemination of navigation data and information to provide services to stakeholders, eliminate duplication, and enhance the safety, reliability, and efficiency of our waterways and ports.

Request for Stakeholder Input on the Federal Role:

The CMTS Integrated Action Team (IAT) on e-Navigation held a two-month online dialogue (ending 3/15/13) to receive stakeholder input regarding the federal role in providing e-Navigation standards, services, and architecture. The top five priorities from participating stakeholders included:

1.Broadband connectivity at sea (to 30 miles offshore)2.PORTS data transmitted via AIS3.Navigation as a free web service4.Single window reporting5.Open source system architecture

1.1. Broadband Data and Communications Connectivity extended Broadband Data and Communications Connectivity extended to 30 miles from shoreto 30 miles from shore

Broadband Connectivity could support:

Provision of real-time navigation information

Single Window Reporting

Navigation as a Web Service

Alternative Communications to VHF Radio

4. Single Window Reporting

Enable one-time reporting of vessel, cargo and voyage data to Federal Government

Data would be disseminated to various Federal Government Agencies

Reduce reporting burden on industry

1616

5. Open Source Architecture

Adopted by automotive and avionics industries

Proponents claim would facilitate:

Interoperability between diverse computing environments onboard and ashore

Accurate metadata for all information sources

Lower cost of ownership
