SUNY Maritime College will host the 2015 e-Navigation
Underway North America Conference September 28-30 in New
York
It is likely that regions like the Baltic, the North Sea, the
Strait of Malacca, Torres Strait and other areas will implement
e-Navigation services that modern ships transiting these areas
will be required to subscribe to. This will have the effect of
requiring such ships to implement e-Navigation even without a
formal IMO carriage requirement.
Ships transiting the St Lawrence Seaway are already using
e-Navigation services. The U.S., too, is making plans to
implement certain e-Navigation Services in its coastal and inland
waters.
The maritime insurance industry is starting to realize that
proper implementation of e-Navigation will improve their general
average and is considering avenues to encourage their customers
to implement e-Navigation.
The conference theme is "Reducing Risk through e-Navigation" or
more specifically "How e-Navigation can improve conning
decisions".
Conference attendees will learn
- What e-Navigation Services are
- How USCG, US Corps of Army Engineers, NOAA, DOT and others are planning to implement e-Navigation
- How it is being implemented outside of North America
- How the insurance industry could encourage ship owners and operators to implement e-Navigation
- How your organization should prepare for ship-board implementation of e-Navigation
