Major causes of accidents are defects in the ladder treads or side

ropes or a lack of proper attachment of the ladder to the vessel.

During 2006 alone 8 Pilots diedin accidents connected to boarding of

vessels

Shipping companies have a legal obligation to provide a conformingladder and ship-borne fittings.

Pilots have the right to:

- decline to board vessels offering defective ladders

- report defects in boarding ladders to port state control

Rubbing Strakes/Sponsons

Considered dangerousby Pilots

IMO requires steps of

the ladder to rest

against the ships side. Proposed changes to

IMO instrument to

widen the gap to 6 m.

Amendments to IMO Instruments? All pilot ladders to be tagged for the purposes of

inspection, survey and record keeping

(accommodation ladders) to the ships side

Banning mechanical pilot hoists

12/31

Electronic charts (ECDIS vs. ECS)

SOLAS Chapter V:

V/2Defines the nautical chart

V/19Specifies the equipment to be carried on

different types of ships

V/27Specifies the requirement to keep charts

& publications up to date


13/31

Navigational Charts

SOLAS V/2:Nautical chart or nautical publication is a special-purpose map or

book, or a specially compiled database from which such a map or

book is derived, that is issued officially by or on the authority of aGovernment, authorized Hydrographic Office or other relevant

government institution and is designed to meet the requirements

of marine navigation.

(Commonly referred to as official charts andpublications)


14/31


15/31

Nautical information

SOLAS V/27

Nautical charts and nautical publications, such

as sailing directions, lists of lights, notices tomariners, tide tables and all other nautical

publications necessary for the intended voyage,

shall be adequate and up to date.


16/31

Meeting carriage requirements

These requirements could either be met by:

Carriage of official* and up to date paper charts

OR;

- Carriage of a type-approved ECDIS using official*electronic charts such as ENC and/or RNC with an

appropriate back-up arrangement.

*Official Charts are charts issued by or on theauthority of a Government (HO/Others). All other

charts are by definition not official and are not

accepted by SOLAS.

ENC: Electronic Navigational

Chart

Based on source data

or official charts of theresp. HO

18/31

What is ECDIS?

ECDIS equipment is specified in the IMO ECDIS Performance

Standards (IMO Resolution A.817 (19)) as follows:

Electronic Chart Display and Information System

(ECDIS) means a navigation information system which,

with adequate back up arrangements, can be acceptedas complying with the up-to-date chart required by

regulation V/19 & V/27 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention,

by displaying selected information from a system

electronic navigational chart (SENC) with positional

information from navigation sensors to assist themariner in route planning and route monitoring, and by

displaying additional navigation-related information if

required.


19/31

The concept of ECDIS


20/31

You have an ECDIS when:

Your system have been tested and approved,

meeting the standards developed by:

IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)

IHO (International Hydrographic Organization)

IMO (International Maritime Organization)

*Approval is normally conducted by recognized

organisations or by marine classification

societies nominated by Flag States


21/31


22/31

The two ECDIS Modes

ECDIS Mode:

Vector mode

Using ENC data

Back up:

Paper charts; or

Independent

separate ECDIS

RCDS Mode:

Raster mode

Using RNC data

Back up:

Paper charts


23/31

What is ECS?

Electronic Chart System:

Any Electronic Chart System

notbeing approved as ECDIS Paper chart remains the

official basis for navigation

(SOLAS). Ranges from vastly

sophisticated systems to

handheld systems

24/31

ECDISSoon mandatory!

The proposed draft amendments will require ships engaged on

international voyages to be fitted with an Electronic Chart Displayand Information System (ECDIS) as follows:

- Tankers of 3,000 gross tonnage and upwards constructed on orafter 1 July 2012;

- Tankers of 3,000 gross tonnage and upwards constructedbefore 1 July 2012, not later than the first safety equipmentsurvey* on or after 1 July 2015;

Administrations may exempt ships from the application of therequirements above when such ships will be taken permanently

out of service within two years after the implementation datespecified.

*The first safety equipment survey means the first annual survey,the first periodical survey or the first renewal survey for safetyequipment, whichever is due first after the date specified.


25/31

ECDIS/ECS Training

Included in the revised STCW (2012)

If a ship is fitted with ECDIS, the shipowner has a dutyto ensure that users of such a system are properlytrained in the operation and use of electronic charts andare familiar with the shipboard equipment before usingit operationally at sea.

If a ship has ECS fitted, the shipowner has a duty to

ensure that users of such a system are properly trainedin the operation and use of electronic charts, are awareof the limitations compared to ECDIS and are familiarwith the shipboard equipment before using itoperationally at sea.


26/31

Young Seafarers Focus Group

INTERTANKO & International Transport Federation (ITF)

cooperating on establishing a focus group of young serving

seafarers drawn from the various associations to articulate their

particular concerns and to enable them to raise their issues to

industry

The broad concept is for the focus group to:

Investigate and clearly establish the issues of concern for young

seafarers themselves

Give a voice to young seafarers in the international regulatory

environment

Generate positive publicity for seafarer issues

Meet with the IMO Secretary-General

Officer Attraction/Retention

Accommodation StandardsHuman Element in Shipping Committee
