How to implement an Efficient Flow environment in confined waterways
In the Interreg Central Baltic funded project “Efficient Flow”, ECDISes, Portable Pilot Units and VTS systems were developed to be able to exchange routes with each other in order to very accurately calculate where in the fairway, canal or other confined water ships will be meeting each other. Relevant information on how the “system” works can be found in the documents, Links and movie clips below.
Documents:
EfficientFlow Technical Requirements – Specific Efficient flow technical requirements on Portable Pilot Units (PPU), ECDIS and VTS systems
Efficient Flow Use cases – Use Cases used to develop the requirements in “EfficientFlow Technical Requirements” and to describe information flow
STM technical specification version 2.0 – In order to be able to implement Efficient Flow functionality the ECDIS/PPU/VTS need to be STM Compatible, to be STM compatible the system need to fulfil these (STM technical specification version 2.0) requirements.
STM Voyage Management use cases and Test protocol – Use Cases used to develop the requirements in “STM technical specification version 2.0” and also test protocol used to test if the system is fulfilling the requirements in “Appendix 3 STM technical specification version 2.0”
SeaSWIM Specification and Forecast – In order to fulfil “STM technical specification version 2.0” information from this document is needed, the information in this document describes the maritime digital infrastructure in STM
STM AIS Route Exchange Standard – In order to fulfil “STM technical specification version 2.0” information from this document is needed, the information in this document describes the ship-to-ship routes sharing using AIS
Route Planning process Flowchart – In order to fulfil “STM technical specification version 2.0” information from this document is needed, the information in this document describes the Route Planning process.
