ANNEX I
STANDARD FOR ECDIS AND DGPS
BACKGROUND
Performance Standards for Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDISs) were formally adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in November 1995 (IMO Resolution A.817 (19), adopted November 1995). The IMO Performance Standards (IMO PS) permit National Maritime Safety Administrations to consider ECDIS as the legal equivalent to the charts required by regulation V/20 of the 1974 Safety of Life At Sea (SOLAS) Convention. IMO has specifically requested that member governments have their National Hydrographic Offices produce electronic navigational charts (ENCs) and establish the associated updating service as soon as possible, and to ensure that manufacturers conform to the performance standards when designing and producing an ECDIS.
At the request of IMO, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is working to identify and describe the necessary performance tests and checks for an IMO-compliant ECDIS. Upon completion of the IEC ECDIS Performance Standard (IEC Publication 1174) in 1997, the IEC Performance Standard will become the basis for type approval specifications related to operational methods of testing and required test results for an IMO-compliant ECDIS.
MARINE NAVIGATION SERVICES FEES
On May 29, 1996, a Marine Navigation Services Fees Bulletin (No. 1/96) was issued by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Canada regarding a reduction in fees for a ship operating with a "precise navigation system" on board. As defined in the Bulletin, a "precise navigation system" (PNS) means electronic systems used by the mariner to determine their geographic position and includes an Electronic Chart Display and Information System. It is further specified that to qualify for the reduction, both a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and ECDIS must be installed.
Since Transport Canada cannot issue carriage requirements or grant type approval for DGPS or ECDIS until such time as all the standards, including the IEC test procedures, are in place, the Canadian Coast Guard has decided to issue an "interim standard" for ECDIS and DGPS. These interim standards will enable vessels and shipping companies to qualify for a 5 percent reduction in their Marine Services Fees prior to the establishment of a formal type-approval process. It is expected that shipowners will upgrade or replace their systems meeting these interim standards with those of a type approved by Transport Canada as being IMO-compliant.
With this 5 percent reduction, the Canadian Coast Guard is signalling its recognition of the significant safety and efficiency benefits of precision navigation systems and in the case of ECDIS, its real time position and display capability, as well as anti-collision capability if used with radar/ARPA overlay. It is the belief of the Coast Guard that an investment in real-time, high accuracy position fixing and display equipment is becoming a necessity in the modern world, not only for the safety of lives and property, but also with regard to the safety of the marine environment.
As previously mentioned, it is recognized by the Coast Guard that no type-approved ECDIS or type-approval process exists at the present time; however, by virtue of the 5 percent reduction and this standard, it recognizes the significant investment in money and training by shipping companies both domestically and internationally in this type of equipment.
As a result of the increasing use of real-time, high accuracy position display and navigation systems — such as that provided by the integration of ECDIS with DGPS and other navigation sensors — reliance on traditional aids to navigation may be somewhat reduced. Therefore, the Coast Guard has commenced a study which examines the ramifications of these technologies on the current mix of floating and fixed aids to navigation.
PROPOSED INTERIM STANDARD
The proposed interim standard would apply to Marine Navigation Services fees.
DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this "Interim Standard":
(1) ECDIS: Electronic Chart Display and Information System: Means a navigation information system which displays selected information from a System Electronic Navigational Chart (SENC) with positional information from navigation sensors to assist the mariner in route planning and monitoring, and if required, displays additional navigation-related information.
(2) ENC: Electronic Navigational Chart: means a database, standardized as to content, structure and format, issued for use with an ECDIS on the authority of government hydrographic offices. The ENC contains all the chart information necessary for safe navigation and may contain other information in addition to that contained in the paper chart which may be considered necessary for safe navigation.
(3) SENC: System Electronic Navigational Chart: means a database resulting from the transformation of the ENC by an ECDIS for appropriate use, updates to the ENC by appropriate means and other data added by the mariner. It is this database that is actually accessed by an ECDIS for the display generation and other navigational functions, and is the equivalent of an up-to-date paper chart. The SENC may also contain information from other sources.
(4) S-57: Special Publication No. 57: International Hydrographic Organization Transfer Standard for Digital Hydrographic Data.
(5) S-52: Special Publication No. 52: Provisional Specifications for Chart Content and Display of ECDIS.
(6) GPS: Global Positioning System: is a constellation of orbiting satellites operated by the United States Department of Defense (US DOD) to provide navigation, position location and precision timing services to users worldwide.
(7) DGPS: Differential Global Positioning System: means a terrestrial long range navigation system using transmitted corrections to satellite signals originating from the US DOD Global Positioning System (GPS).
REQUIREMENTS
This section describes the functional requirements of a "precise navigation system" that will, if carried by commercial ships, qualify them for the 5 percent Marine Services Fee reduction. The ECDIS criteria are a subset of the IMO Performance Standards (IMO PS) for ECDIS adopted by IMO (Resolution A.817(19) on December 15, 1995. They are not intended to exceed these requirements.
(A) ECDIS
(1) An ECDIS should be capable of displaying all chart information necessary for the safe and efficient navigation of the vessel for the intended voyage originated by, and distributed on the authority of, government-authorized hydrographic offices. (IMO PS, s. 1.4)
Official Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) issued by the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) are vector-based digital data in one of two formats:
a. NTX
b. IHO S-57
(2) An ECDIS should reduce navigational workload and should enable the mariner to execute in a convenient and timely manner all route planning, route monitoring and positioning currently performed on paper charts. It should be capable of continuously plotting the ship's position. (IMO PS, s. 1.6)
For Canadian waters, the positioning system used shall be DGPS (see section B).
(3) An ECDIS should provide appropriate alarms or indications with respect to the information displayed or malfunction of the equipment (IMO PS, s. 1.8).
This should include the ability of the mariner to select safety depths and contours; proximity alarms; off-scale or over-scale chart display; off-track indications or alarms; or loss of primary positioning system
(4) An ECDIS should be connected to systems providing:
(a) Continuous position fixing (DGPS, as stated in 2 above)
(b) Continuous heading display: ship's gyrocompass
(c) Continuous speed information: speed log or some similar system
(d) Continuous depth information: Echo Sounder
(4.1) The ECDIS may be integrated with the following equipment:
(a) RADAR: radar image and/or ARPA targets (IMO PS, s. 6.3)
(5) Adequate backup arrangements for the ECDIS should be available for the duration of the intended voyage in case of ECDIS failure (IMO PS, s. 14 and ANNEX 8: Draft amendment to Resolution A.817 (19)-APPENDIX 6: "Back-up Arrangements).
(6) Mariners using an ECDIS should be provided with adequate training in the shipboard operation of the ECDIS, including its capabilities and limitations.
(7) An ECDIS should comply with Chapter II-1, 1974 SOLAS convention regarding the power supply, with regard to both emergency power and changing power supplies. (IMO PS, s. 15)
(B) DGPS Receiver
A marine DGPS navigation aid is a device (or devices) capable of receiving and processing ranging signals from the US DOD GPS Standard Positioning Service (SPS) in accordance with International Standard IEC 1108-1: Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) — Part 1: Global Positioning System (GPS) — Receiver Equipment — Performance Standards, Methods of Testing and Required Test Results (Draft) and simultaneously receive and process corrections to the GPS ranging signals fed to it in accordance with the standards of Recommended ITU-R M.823 and the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) Special Committee 104 recommended broadcast standard format (current version), such that the output, either for display or for input to other navigational devices, is real-time, continuous precise position for marine navigation or positioning purposes.
It should be noted that the carriage of this equipment does not exempt vessels from the requirements of the Charts and Nautical Publications Regulations, 1995 or any other regulations made pursuant to the Canada Shipping Act or the Arctic Waters Pollution Prevention Act.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
It is proposed that the following two methods be used for the application procedure for the 5 percent Precise Navigation Systems (PNS) reduction:
(1) Certifying/Authorizing manufacturers
— Manufacturers submit the specifications of their equipment to the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Marine Services Fee office.
— A committee composed of CCG, Canadian Hydrographic Service and Transport Canada (TC) members examines the equipment specifications with respect to the requirements of the Interim Standard, and issues a Letter of Compliance (if appropriate).
— Any ship carrying this Letter of Compliance may submit it, in lieu of the following checklist, and thereby gain the 5 percent reduction.
(2) Checklist for agents
— CCG supplies a checklist of items required for the 5 percent PNS reduction.
— The ship certifies that the items are present in its system, then submits the list to its agent with the name and address of the manufacturer of its specific system.
— The agent applies the 5 percent reduction, sending the list to CCG with the remainder of his marine navigation services fees.
— The CCG/CHS/TC committee must check this list against the manufacturer's specifications and issue a Letter of Compliance to the manufacturer, if appropriate.
— If it does not actually meet the Interim Standard, then the 5 percent reduction must be drawn back from vessel.
CONCLUSION
It is the intent of this paper to establish an interim standard that vessels may comply with to enable them to qualify for the 5 percent PNS reduction in the Marine Services Fee. This interim standard in no way obviates the formal approval process for regulatory purposes. It also does not relieve the shipowner of complying with the appropriate Charts and Nautical Publications Regulations, 1995, or the Navigating Appliances and Equipment Regulations.
This paper seeks discussion and input as to the appropriateness of the application procedure and the Interim Standard itself.
