4th ECDISSTAKEHOLDERS’ FORUM (ESF-4)
Tokyo, Japan,3-4 September 2008
SUMMARYREPORT
Welcome
Mr. Horst Hecht (BSH, Germany) served as Chair for the 4thECDIS Stakeholders’ Forum (ESF-4). Henoted that attendance at this Stakeholders’ Forum was the largest ever(approximately 150 persons). See List ofParticipants at Appendix 1. He noted therecent decisions in IMO regarding mandatory carriage requirement of ECDIS,which could take effect from 2012. He explained that the ESF is a forum forIndustry and HOs to discuss topics of relevance in the interest of safety ofnavigation.
Presentations
Thefollowing presentations were made according to the programme at Appendix 2:
The Chair noted that itwill be up to the future IHO Inter-Regional Coordinating Committee (IRCC),which will come into force from 1 January 2009, to decide in which form ESFswill be continued.
VAdm. Maratos stressed that whilst commercialcompanies can be involved in the provision of hydrographic services,responsibility for ensuring the provision of these services will always remainwith the coastal States.
Capt. Ward noted that ENCs will constitute afundamental backdrop to most e-Nav applications. RAdm Andreasen mentionedthat IALA is looking at real time tide observations being broadcast via AISbinary messaging. The CHRIS Chair (Capt Vaughan Nail,UK)indicated that this will be considered by the CHRIS.
Capt. Ward reported that a comparison of ENCcoverage with paper charts along the main international maritime routes, plusthe top 800 ports worldwide, had revealed that, as of June 2009, ENC coveragewas 94 % at small scales, 68 % at medium scales and 65 % at large scales, for atotal of 8,400 ENC cells available for purchase and an additional 1,500 ENC cellsawaiting validation. He referred participants to the IHO ENC coverage catalogueon the IHO website. To a question from FURUNO Finland (Mr. Hannu Peiponen) inquiring whether back-uppaper charts will still be required after 2010, when ENC coverage is expectedto be adequate, Capt. Wardclarified that this is an IMO matter and one to be resolved by the Flag and Coastal States. Marine Press of Canada (Mr.George Arts) said that, whenadditional ECDIS are used onboard a ship, there should not be extra cost forthe ENC user. Capt Ward explainedthat IHO is not involved in ENC pricing.
Mr. Kajimura reported on the 4 ENCs producedby EAHC in the South China Sea, the 6 ENCs produced in the Malacca &Singapore Straits (distributed via JHA), and capacity building support toPhilippines by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Mr. Saundercock reported that IC-ENC hadagreed new terms for ENC licensing in multi-user environments.
Mr. Shimizu reported that approximately 700 ENCcells are available through JHA, which offers licensing terms for 12, 9, 6 or 3months of ENC use and up to 5 ECDIS under a single license. He indicated thatJapanese ENCs are also available from the UKHO and PRIMAR.
Mr. Arts drew attention to a number ofproblems relating to ENC distribution and use, e.g. confusion between ENC cellsand ENC units, file size, differing licensing terms, difficulty to identifycancelled ENCs, T&
corrections to ENCs. He advocated the “pay-per-use”solution, stressing that ENC is a service, not a product. PRIMAR (Capt Gerry Larsson-Fedde) indicated that it isworking on a “pay-as-you-go” solution.
Mr. Bergmann referred to three levels ofcertification, i.e. data quality, data security and supplementary data.
Mr. Bergmann advocated the separation ofdata and product in a digital environment.
Mr. Smith suggested there was a need forcloser cooperation between HOs on licensing terms and conditions, for HOs andRENCs to be responsive to service providers, and to ensure that innovation isnot stifled. Marine Press Canada (Arts)felt that the ENC distribution system was too complex. He also criticized theSENC delivery option, as there was a risk of ECDIS thereby being captive. IHB (Ward) suggested that a MS discussionwould be held in connection with the 4th EIHC in Monaco, June 2009, where issuesrelating to ENC licensing, pricing and distribution (Seealso WEND-11 Minutes, Section 8) would be raised.
Mr. Scott reported that Inspector is a tool for Port Statecontrol officers.
In accordance with Action11/2 from WEND-11, the Chair raisedthe matter of customizing S-63, i.e. S-63x, to seek stakeholder indication onwhether any further action was required. It was confirmed that no furtheraction was needed.
Summary
Eachpresentation was followed by the opportunity for questions, comment anddiscussions. For many presentationsthere were no significant questions or comments made; nevertheless,participants appeared to be grateful for the information that was provided. Thegreatest amount of discussion and feedback centred on ENC distribution and thedifficulties currently being encountered by ENC retailers and by mariners atsea. A number of examples were given. Some end-serviceproviders expressed doubts that the ENC distribution chain will be able to facethe “tsunami” of demands when ECDIS carriage requirement is enforced. The principal messages from Stakeholders tothe IHO can be summarized as follows:
· TheIHO Member States must co-operate more closely to harmonize the supply of ENCservices, and to facilitate the use and uptake of ENCs, and in particular:
• Greater harmony isrequired in ENC pricing.
• Greater flexibility isrequired in how ENCs can be purchased, including “pay per view”, “pay as yougo” and other innovative data service models. “Price per ENC” is notnecessarily the best or only pricing model for the 21st century.
• ENC licensing must bebetter harmonized – license management is presently a difficult management taskboth for ENC retailers and for navigating officers.
• ENC retailers prefer a“one-stop shop” to obtain ENC coverage. Currently this is not possible becausenot all ENCs are available through RENCs.
• All ENC producers mustfollow a standard method of providing Temporary and Preliminary Notices toMariners for ENCs electronically. It isconfusing, time consuming and unacceptable for some HO’s to provide T&
notices via local NtoMs (in some case, not even in English).
