having regard to hydrographic, meteorological and navigational information and risks;

– Facilitate vessel traffic observation and management from shore/coastal facilities, where appropriate;

– Facilitate communications, including data exchange, among ship to ship, ship to shore, shore to ship, shore to shore and other users;

– Provide opportunities for improving the efficiency of transport and logistics

• PIANC is uniquely positioned as the World Association for Waterborne Transportation Infrastructure to be the leader in the integration of e-Navigation into the Supply Chain Network.

• Recognizing that there are numerous groups that are also concurrently working on e-Navigation, we have asked representatives of some of those organizations to brief us on their activities and what collaboration opportunities they forsee with the PIANC initiative
