Agenda
Moving Forward to an Integrated Information Environment For Marine Transportation
eNavigation Conference 2011 takes place at a critical point in the development of e-navigation. Not only does the overall schedule call for implementation of e-navigation to begin in 2012 - although that may slip somewhat - SOLAS carriage requirements for a critical shipboard component, ECDIS, are coming into play.- Operators should be aware of future changes to the maritime operational environment, including e-navigation development, that may impact their operations.
- Operators need to be aware of the complexity of shifting to ECDIS since that is neither intuitive nor simple.
In recognition of these points the conference looks to the future during Day One and addresses the pressing issues raised by ECDIS use during Day Two.
