E-Navigation Takes Centre Stage15/10/2009 |
| More than 300 delegates from the maritime community have registered to attend the 3rd International ECDIS Conference and Exhibition (IEC), hosted jointly with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), at the Regent Hotel in Singapore from 19th to 21st October. |
|
Hosted by Melissa Hyak, co-anchor of Channel News Asia's flagship news programme PrimeTime News, the three-day event will explore the key issues around the transition from paper to e-navigation, following the ratification of the IMO's directive for mandatory carriage of ECDIS beginning in 2012. In addition, the conference will take a look into the future of navigation to see what technologies might emerge in the future.
The IEC event features a keynote address from the guest-of-honour, Mr Teo Ser Luck, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports and Ministry of Transport in the Singapore government, and a welcome address from His Excellency Paul Madden, British High Commissioner to Singapore.
The speaker line-up includes representatives from both European and Asian shipping companies. Dave Elliott from Arklow Shipping, Capt. Sriram Rajagopal of Anglo Eastern Ship Management and Rob Grool of Wallem Group will all discuss their experiences of transitioning to and using ECDIS. Sean Crowley from Stolt Tankers BV will share how his organisation has achieved 14 months of cost-effective navigation.
Other speakers include representatives from national maritime organisations and Hydrographic Offices, training specialists, distributors and technology providers involved in the development of e-navigation systems.

MCA on Surveying the British Coast |
Rob Spillard explains how the MCA is conducting hydrographic surveys, including the history of British hydrographic surveying, latest developments in technology and wreck research projects, sometimes accompanied by a BBC TV camera crew. This movie includes an example of the discovery of two sunken WWI submarines off the Orkney Islands.
