14. Project is co-funded by the European Union (EC / DG-TREN / TEN-T) © IRIS Europe II I 14 Activities – Overview Activity 1: Pilot implementation of Fairway Information Services (FIS) FIS contain geographical, hydrological and administrative data used by skippers to plan a journey. It provides dynamic and static information (e.g. Status of inland waterway infrastructure). Main objective is the further development of the current technical specifications and first pilot implementation of The provision of actual depth data Provision of water level information. Implementation of new NtS messages Wifi hotspot to distribute FIS-information Maintenance of reference data

15. Project is co-funded by the European Union (EC / DG-TREN / TEN-T) © IRIS Europe II I 15 Activity 2: Pilot implementation of Traffic and Transport related RIS Services (TTS) TTS enhance the safety and security of inland navigation and include also traffic management and calamity abatement. Main objective is the further development and testing of traffic and transport related RIS services – enhancement of existing infrastructure and provision of additional advanced RIS services. This will achieved by AIS equipment program Pilot implementation of new AIS messages. Pilot Implementation of CAS AIS messages Enabling of Electronic Reporting Activities – Overview

16. Project is co-funded by the European Union (EC / DG-TREN / TEN-T) © IRIS Europe II I 16 Activity 3: Pilot implementation of International Data Exchange Participating member states of IRIS Europe I agreed that a multilateral legal agreement is recommended as basis for international data exchange, such as Operational Voyage - Cargo –AIS data among Member States Exchange of Hull data by means of the European Hull Database (EHDB) Position Information by means of European Position Information Service(EPIS) Collection, maintenance and distribution of RIS reference data by means of the European Reference Data Management Service(ERDMS) Activities – Overview

17. Project is co-funded by the European Union (EC / DG-TREN / TEN-T) © IRIS Europe II I 17 Activity 3: Pilot implementation of Technical & Administrative Agreement (TAA) Various important milestones of Activity 3 are the elaboration and entering into force of agreements between the countries, this was and will be achieved by : A letter between Member States to use the EHDB by the certification Authorities A Service Agreement between Member States to use the EHDB by the RIS authorities Conclusion of a intermediate Legal provision to enable operational RIS data such as, Voyage and Cargo information and AIS information in restricted border areas. Furthermore a awareness paper regarding the legal omissions regarding data-exchange was drafted and submitted to the EC. Activities – Overview
