4. National Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure
Rationale for NMSDI
Drive
Need for:
Solution
Sea Space & Port Planning (e.g. NGP 2030)
Increasing demand for limited sea and coastal space
Multiple stakeholders and overlapping uses
Long term sea & coastal space usage planning
Blue Economy development
Marine R&D
Efficient sea space planning involving multiple agencies and stakeholders
Geo-referenced data and information
Integrated, data-rich infrastructure
Geo-referenced data
Accessible to agencies & stakeholders
Flexible and modular for customised use & development of applications
Challenges
Data is not always available or interoperable
Data collation is time consuming
Duplication of efforts
National Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure

5. Agencies’ Needs and Data Types
Agencies’ Data into NMSDI:
Shipping, Navigation, Sea Space & Port Planning, Sea Space Optimisation
Maritime & Port Authority
Variety of needs which require overlapping/multiple data types
Bathymetry, coastlines, tidal levels, vessel information, port administration limits, dredging, port facilities
Integrate into a single infrastructure for interoperability and visualisation
Urban Redevelopment
Land and sea space planning
Urban Master Plan maps, submarine cable landing points
JTC Corp.
Commercial waterfront planning and usage, reclamation
Commercial waterfront - quay and mooring lines, bathymetry and seabed material type for reclamation
Housing & Development
Reclamation
Bathymetry and seabed material type for reclamation
National Parks Board
Marine science research, marine biodiversity
Benthic, coral, sea grass, bio-diversity data
Public Utilities Board
Desalination plants, sewerage outfalls
Desalination plants intake/outfall pipes, sewerage discharge points, submarine pipelines
National Environment
Marine water quality – chemical, physical, biological data
Marine water quality assessment
Agri-food and Veterinary
Mariculture
Location of fish farms sites

6. NMSDI Conceptual Model & Architecture

7. Proof of Concept Base Layer - ENCs
Multiple datasets from agencies overlaid and displayed (2D)

8. Proof of Concept
Object attributes and information displayed

9. Proof of Concept
Generate Report
Draw polygon for area of study

10. NMSDI Implementation Phase 1: Initial Operating Capability
Rapid creation of a small-scale operational capability
Provide the foundation for the future scaling
Includes:
Installation and configuration of core software components
Establishing Portal site, user accounts and collaborative workspaces
Publishing ENCs
Integration a few key datasets from agencies
Configuration of few key applications
Targeted Completion: By March 2018
Phase 2: Full NMSDI
All data sources fed into GIS enterprise
Scaled up to provide web GIS access and power to all participating agencies
Targeted Completion: By end 2018

11. Examples of Initial Key Applications
Marine Information Viewer Visualize and serve S-57/S-63 ENC datasets to the latest IHO standard (S-52) for symbology. Users can interactively query symbology and attributes, providing the same view as any ECDIS
Situational Awareness Applications
Dashboard management to show real-time information from AIS feeds from vessels, providing immediate alerts and greater tracking accountability.
Dynamic Briefing Products
Interactively present maps, concepts and analysis to task forces, stakeholders, etc.

12. Examples of Initial Key Applications
Maritime Observations/Indicent Reporting
Collection capability through offline capture tools that can help with the maintenance and management of assets such as Aids to Navigation, reporting of maritime incidents, accidents, etc.
Oceanographic Data Analysis
Configured application to quickly visualize and analyse “Big Data” volumes of Hydrographic and Oceanographic data for better planning and environmental monitoring.

13. Beyond NMSDI Towards a spatially-enabled nation
National level decision making
Cost effective businesses
Location and situational awareness
Integration with Land SDI
SG-Space (Singapore Land Authority)
Regional NMSDI
UN-GGIM Shared Guiding Principles
East Asia MSDI
