Vision of the Decision Support Model on Board of the Vessel with Use of the Shore Based IT Tools

2008 
The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) at its 81st session decided to include, in the work programmes of the NAV and COMSAR Sub-Committees, a high priority item on "Development of an e–navigation strategy”. E-navigation is meant to integrate existing and new electronic navigational tools (ship and shore based) into one comprehensive system that will contribute to enhanced navigational safety and security while reducing the workload of the mariner (navigator). This paper describes present IT created to support navigational and administrative activities related to vessel movement and cargo transhipment. Direction of development of existing systems is drafted with reference to E-Navigation concept. Information sets available for the vessel in Polish Sea Areas are grouped. 1 MARITIME SAFETY AND SECURITY INFORMATION EXCHANGE SYSTEM (MARSSIES) APPLICATION Poland is currently implementing its National SafeSeaNet System compliant with Vessel Traffic Monitoring and Information System (VTMIS) Directive 2002/59/EC. The system consist of two main software components i.e. MarSSIES (Maritime Safety and Security Information Exchange System) and PHICS (Polish Harbour Information and Control System). PHICS is an administrative system designed to facilitate specific duties of maritime administration like: supervision over training centres or seafarers certificates, exchange of FAL forms. It is also a basic system for electronic exchange of documents connected to vessel arrival and transhipment of cargoes. MarSSIES is a basic operational platform for maritime administration and allied services. It presents integrated navigational and operational data from different sources on ECDIS background. It is also a National system for data exchange with European SafeSeaNet, presenting data of all vessels and their cargoes within EU waters. MarSSIES is a comprehensive IT tool used for the purpose of information exchange between shore based authorities which duties involve activities at Sea. Model of the system was based on the existing procedures of information exchange. Core of the system consist of Event Model which enables simultaneous notification of logged users.
