Who is CIRM

  • Comité International Radio-Maritime
  • A technical trade organisation
  • Represents Marine Electronics Industry
  • Over 90 companies world wide
  • Manufacturers, service providers, service

companies

  • Started in 1928 by the Maritime Radio

companies to represent their interests at ITU

  • Now represent Industry at IMO, ITU, IHO and
  • ther organisations – IALA IMPA etc..

Observations

  • I am coming to the end of my career
  • I started in 1967 on an aircraft project
  • Highly secret “LEDs” used for film marking
  • Very complicated project
  • Specification kept changing
  • Because user needs kept changing
  • Cancelled after millions £££ spent..

What is this

TSR-2

Sir Sydney Camm said of the project: “All modern aircraft have four dimensions:

  • span, length, height and politics.

TSR-2 simply got the first three right.” Let’s hope that the politics don’t bring down e-Navigation..

e-Navigation

  • This project has the potential to be the best

thing for Maritime safety and a fully co-

  • rdinated maritime world
  • We must all focus on getting it working
  • Try not to be diverted into interesting side

roads on the way

  • Difficult with so many players..

Key Players - IMO

  • UN specialised agency
  • They came up with the idea through member

states

  • Have a very effective correspondence group
  • Member states providing good inputs
  • Have very little time allocated for working

groups

  • Have a technical “GAP”..
slide-10
SLIDE 10

10

Key Players - ITU

  • UN specialised agency
  • Will need to be involved in allocating the

spectrum we need for e-Navigation

  • Will need to sort out territorial problems and

interference with advance satellite systems

  • Will we be ready for the next WRC with what

we need ?.

slide-11
SLIDE 11

11

Key Players - IHO

  • Intergovernmental Organisation
  • Providing all the Hydrographic services and

standards – key part of e-Navigation

  • Provide the key knowledge on S100..
slide-12
SLIDE 12

12

Key Players - IALA

  • Currently an NGO in consultative status to

IMO

  • Many member states see IALA (which they are

members of) as filling the IMO technical “GAP”

  • Have an e-Navigation Committee
  • Sits twice a year
  • Provide the IMO CG with good input..
slide-13
SLIDE 13

Key Players - CIRM

  • NGO representing marine electronics industry
  • Working on the on-board integration and

bringing communications experience

  • Has developed with IEC an ethernet interface

standard for on-board networks IEC 61162- 450

  • Helping develop IEC 61162-460 which will be

the important firewall between navigation systems and the rest of the bridge..

Key Players - ICS

  • NGO representing the World’s Shipowners
  • Providing Criticism
slide-15
SLIDE 15

15

Key Players - ICS

  • NGO representing the World’s Shipowners
  • Providing CONSTRUCTIVE Criticism
  • Ultimately we have to “sell” the brilliance of

e-Navigation to the Shipowners

  • What is the brilliance?
  • And why don’t we know?.
slide-16
SLIDE 16

Key Players

  • IMPA – bringing pilotage experience
  • NI – bringing user requirements and training

issues

So what is e-Nav

  • Its turning out to be the International Marine

Intranet

  • Connected are:

– Ships – VTS/VTM – RCCs – Customs – Service providers – weather – routing – Owners – …………………

e-Navigation

  • We are getting over excited about the “Apps”
  • Single window
  • VTM systems
  • Under keel clearance
  • Not concentrating on the infrastructure on the

ship and ashore

  • Nothing hangs together until we have the

backbone..

slide-19
SLIDE 19

19

International Marine Intranet -IMI

  • For this we need to:
  • Integrate the Nav and Comms on board

suitably firewalled

  • Find communications that will provide the

right bandwidth consistent with the area of

  • peration and data requirements
  • Network the VTS systems ashore regionally

and internationally

  • Identify Communications hubs for Distress and

safety and commercial communications..

On Board Integration

(Dr Andy Norris)

slide-21
SLIDE 21

21

On Board Integration

  • CIRM fully supports the IEC 61162-450

Ethernet standards for the on board integration

  • And supports the IEC 61162-460 firewall and

safety standards

  • However existing equipment may have to be

modified to maximise the performance of this network

  • May not meet the original goal of “using

existing equipment but used in a better way”..

slide-22
SLIDE 22

22

Merging of COMSAR and NAV

  • IMO intend to merge these two key sub-

Committees

  • How does this leave our ability to make all the

Performance standards changes we might need

  • Last week at COMSAR I suggested that a

group of experts will be necessary to do this job

  • Idea met favourably with the IMO secretariat..
slide-23
SLIDE 23

23

Communication solutions

  • Along side – could be plugged in
  • Port regions – VHF – Cellular – Wimax
  • Deep sea – Satellite
  • Is there a role for HF ?
  • Does the bandwidth requirement change with

distance from shore

  • Who will pay for the calls
  • Who is dealing with this ..
slide-24
SLIDE 24

24

Co-ordination

  • Someone needs to take the lead to make this

all work

  • We need closer co-operation between the
  • rganisations – regular meetings?
  • Less helping oneself to the choice bits
  • Ensuring the right experts regardless of
  • rganisation are doing the right tasks
  • Focus on getting the infrastucture working..
slide-25
SLIDE 25

25

Conclusion

  • Project needs bringing back into focus
  • IMO needs to take a lead in this
  • Correspondence group is the highest authority

we have

  • They (because there is no-one else) must

bring the work down to a few strategic packages

  • Set the time scales
  • Bring stage one (a working infrastructure) to

conclusion..
