10. 10 e-Navigation Integrated Action Team (IAT) As defined by IMO, e-Navigation is "the harmonized collection, integration, exchange, presentation, and analysis of maritime information onboard and ashore by electronic means to enhance berth-to-berth navigation and related services for safety and security at sea and protection of the marine environment.“ Integrated Action Team Leads: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; U.S. Coast Guard Purpose: The e-Navigation IAT) has developed a work plan for the implementation of the CMTS e-Navigation Strategic Action Plan. This plan outlines how the CMTS will facilitate e-Navigation concepts and activities in a cross-agency manner, coordinated with industry and other stakeholders.e-Navigation Strategic Action Plan The CMTS e-Navigation IAT will facilitate the coordinated and integrated collection, processing, and dissemination of navigation data and information to provide services to stakeholders, eliminate duplication, and enhance the safety, reliability, and efficiency of our waterways and ports.

11. Request for Stakeholder Input on the Federal Role: The CMTS Integrated Action Team (IAT) on e-Navigation held a two-month online dialogue (ending 3/15/13) to receive stakeholder input regarding the federal role in providing e-Navigation standards, services, and architecture. The top five priorities from participating stakeholders included: 1. 1. Broadband connectivity at sea (to 30 miles offshore) 2. 2. PORTS data transmitted via AIS 3. 3. Navigation as a free web service 4. 4. Single window reporting 5. 5. Open source system architecture 11

12. 1. Broadband Data and Communications Connectivity extended to 30 miles from shore Broadband Connectivity could support: Provision of real-time navigation information Single Window Reporting Navigation as a Web Service Alternative Communications to VHF Radio 12

13. 2. PORTS Data Transmitted via AIS - Demonstrated Feasibility Currently operating Sault Ste. Marie, MI – 2002 Tampa Bay, FL – 2010 Lower Columbia River, OR, WA – late 2011 Current CMTS e-Nav IAT Action Item Task Team evaluating steps needed to operationalize transmission of PORTS Data over AIS in VTS Areas 13

14. Tide Aware ENC – Concept PORTS Electronic Navigational Charts Tidal Forecast Models Automatic Identification System

15. 3. Navigation as a Free Web Service Provides common operating picture aboard all ships and ashore Supports distribution of real-time navigation information Tides and currents – “Tide Aware ENC” concept Vessel traffic Chart updates Notice to mariners 15

16. 4. Single Window Reporting Enable one-time reporting of vessel, cargo and voyage data to Federal Government Data would be disseminated to various Federal Government Agencies Reduce reporting burden on industry 16

17. 5. Open Source Architecture Adopted by automotive and avionics industries Proponents claim would facilitate:   Interoperability between diverse computing environments onboard and ashore   Accurate metadata for all information sources   Lower cost of ownership 17
