WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Shipping company superindentents and operations / strategy staff,
wishing to get a better handle on the financial and safety implications
of using electronic
navigation, as well as developments in legislation, ENC availability
and flag state chart carriage requirements
chart suppliers - ECDIS manufacturers - hydrographic offices looking
to deepen their understanding of how electronic charts are currently
being used in commercial shipping and the progress being made
IN MORE DEPTH
There have been many exciting developments in electronic
navigation in the past few years, including broadly expanded coverage
availability of electronic navigation charts, improvements in chart
display technology, developments of distribution centres for official
vector electronic charts (ENCs) and movement ahead in the legislation
including the broad acceptance of official raster charts as an adequate
means of navigation when no official electronic vector charts are
available.
Electronic chart systems, when they work properly and people know
how to use them, are broadly accepted to offer large safety benefits
to shipping, by putting the information where people need it. So is
this the right time for shipping companies to think about moving their
navigation systems to electronic charts?
The downsides of electronic navigation are well publicised; seafarers
need to be trained to use the new systems; international coverage
of vector "ENC" files is not available for the full globe;
there is a lack of consensus on the carriage requirements when ships
are using a mixture of vector and raster charts. Also it is difficult
to source electronic charts for the whole world from a single supplier.
But the upsides are pretty obvious. Seafarers can hear loud alarms
if it looks like they're about to run aground or hit something, and,
when incorporated with AIS, if they're about to collide with something.
Electronic chart displays can be combined with radar and AIS, so seafarers
can see exactly where they are in relation to what is around them
with just one display. New chart files and updates can be sent to
the vessel in data format, with no tedious manual paper updating to
manage. Also, there can be cost advantages, with the US government
expected to make its electronic charts available free of charge.
At this event, we also look at the charts themselves, the current
availability and coverage of official and non-official electronic
charts, the quality of the data, and the distribution mechanisms currently
being developed. We also look at the complexity of putting together
a portfolio of electronic charts and finding out what you need and
don't need, in order to make sure you can keep the port state control
inspectors happy.

COMMENTS ABOUT PREVIOUS DIGITAL
SHIP CONFERENCES
"My comments to the conference is that it was excellent in general,
it was well organised, the topics covered all matters and issues that
we as shipmanagers and shipowners need to know and there real answers
to questions raised during the day". Dr Takis Varelas, Chief Information
officer, Thenamaris
"Delegates from different areas like ships management, communications,
IT industry and maritime service providers had the option to exchange
their opinions and to resolve their queries. Finally we enjoyed a
dinner under Athens sky listening to Greek music, bearing in mind
the importance of human communications also" - Dr Takis Varelas,
Chief information officer, Thenamaris
The size of room and subjects were right for the event. I enjoyed
my morning and found you had attracted a different audience from the
usual run, through concentrating on technology and communications.
Very worthwhile." - Len Holder, chairman, VideoTel
From where we stood the participation was very active - what more
can you ask?" - Chris Insall, project manager, Inmarsat
