CSC E-Navigation Workshop, 12 June 2014, Four Seasons Hotel, Limassol
The Cyprus Shipping Chamber, through its E-Navigation Working Group, is organising an E-Navigation Workshop on 12 June 2014, 15:00-19:30 hours at the Four Seasons Hotel in Limassol.
For this Workshop, speakers from the IMO, the International Chamber of Shipping, the Department of Merchant Shipping and representatives of organisations participating in e-navigation test-beds have been invited.
E-Navigation is an IMO led concept based on the harmonisation of marine navigation systems and supporting shore services driven by user needs.
E-Navigation is currently defined as: ‘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’.
The IMO’s aim is to develop a strategic vision for e-navigation, to integrate existing and new navigational tools, in particular electronic tools, in an all-embracing system that will contribute to enhanced navigational safety while simultaneously reducing the burden on the navigator. The implementation of e-navigation on board ships may therefore have major implications for the Shipping Industry in respect of vessel’s onboard bridge equipment.
