| Standards : | S1040 Vessel Traffic Services | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Topic area : | S1040.5 VTS data and Information management | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Task Description : |
The task will work on developing technical service specifications for VTS using a number of existing guidelines and standards. The main guideline will be G1128 'Specification of e-navigation technical services'. This provides the overall guideline for developing the specifications which is aligned with the template for technical services provided in IMO MSC.467(101) 'Guidance on the definition and harmonization of the format and structure of Maritime Services in the context of e-navigation'. Other relevant guidelines/standards include • G1157 'Web Service Based S-100 Data Exchange' • IEC 63173-2 'Secure exchange and communication of S-100 based products' (SECOM) • IALA G1143 'Unique identifiers for maritime resources' • IALA G1161 'Guideline on platforms to support the provision of maritime services in the context of e-navigation Furthermore – the technical services will be depending on the VTS S-100 product specification with regard to data-model and portrayal. The process (milestones) may be: • Identity technical services • Finalise first (simple) technical service • perform testing • Continue specification of all identified services • Test • Complete specifications

| Expected outcome : |
A number of technical service specifications |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Compelling need : |
The technical service specifications will enable VTS providers and related stakeholders such as ship equipment manufacturers to implement technical services and thus enable them to exchange digital information securely and reliably. This will bring VTS into the digital era with all the associatedbenefits including support from the future of MASS. |
