At the meeting of the IMO Sub-Committee on Safety of Navigation (NAV) the work on e-navigation was continued, and the work on electronic symbols for aids to navigation purposes was finalised.
E-navigation
The Sub-Committee on Safety of Navigation had an intensive debate on e-navigation. The purpose of e-navigation is to rethink the manner in which onboard navigation systems are organised and to modernize the ship-shore communication and information systems. Denmark contributed to the deliberations, inter alia by making a presentation on future maritime communication structures, “the Maritime Cloud”, together with Norway, Sweden and Finland. The presentation was well-attended, and new initiatives were presented and later debated at the subsequent reception. Here, the participants could also see specific examples of e-navigation on the electronic screens mounted.
In general, the Sub-Committee decided to continue its work on an e-navigation implementation plan. In this connection, Denmark will – together with France – coordinate the ongoing work on the Maritime Cloud concept.
