12 1 Intrductin IRIS Eurpe as pilt implementatin prject fr River Infrmatin Services (RIS) is c-financed by the Directrate General fr Energy and Transprt f the Eurpean Cmmissin within the TEN-T prgramme (Trans Eurpean Transprt Netwrks). IRIS Eurpe started in January 2006 and was finished in December Main bjectives f IRIS Eurpe IRIS Eurpe was set up as a Eurpe-wide prject in rder t expand the functinality f River Infrmatin Services n the Eurpean waterway netwrk. The prject addressed the eliminatin f existing bttlenecks and defined additinal functinality in the field f River Infrmatin Services (RIS) in the Danube and Rhine-Seine regin. The prject fcused especially n crss-brder infrmatin services and the related data exchange and prcedures. Newly develped RIS Services such as traffic and transprt infrmatin exchange, hull data exchange and calamity abatement service were validated by means f pilt installatins, which are intercnnected amng each ther. Furthermre IRIS Eurpe met the general bjectives f the Eurpean Cmmissin, as set up in Article 5 f Decisin N. 1692/96/EC, in rder t integrate transprt netwrks mre efficiently by interlinking mdes f transprt with a view t making better use f the inherent advantages f each. By prviding RIS services bth in the ld and new EU Member States, als inland navigatin respectively inland waterway transprt and intermdal transprt is prmted within these Eurpean landlcked regins plus shwing pprtunities t intercnnect inland navigatin with maritime traffic. One f the psitive effects f intelligent inland navigatin traffic systems is als the (in-)direct benefit fr safety and security fr passengers and critical infrastructure and envirnmental cncerns (e.g. waste management). Mrever, it stimulates the cperatin alngside the Rhine/Meuse-Main- Danube inland waterway axis (Pririty TEN Prject #18) and the Seine-Scheldt inland waterway axis (Pririty TEN Prject #30) with links t shrt sea shipping thrugh cnnectins at seaprts. The specific bjectives f the prject were therefre: Pilt implementatin f the EU RIS Directive 2005/44/EC in Austria, Slvakia, Hungary, the Netherlands, France and Belgium. Determinatin and pilt implementatin f additinal RIS Services, especially n the fcus f crss-brder peratin and envirnmental Services, next t the minimum requirements accrding t the EU RIS Directive 2005/44/EC. Harmnisatin and Standardisatin f RIS-Technlgy, Applicatins and Services abve the level f the minimum requirements accrding t the RIS Directive by supprting the relevant RIS Expert Grups and the RIS Cmmittee with gained knwledge. Crss-brder c-peratin f the natinal authrities respnsible fr inland navigatin and relevant fr RIS accrding t the RIS Directive, fcusing n crss brder Services including the prcedures f internatinal exchange f relevant data. T lead the way f implementing the RIS Directive in Eurpe by supprting fllw-up initiatives fr the implementatin f the RIS Directive by efficient knwledge transfer and prvisin f a functinal reference specificatin fr the implementatin f RIS accrding t the RIS Directive. Clse the lacks f RIS pilt infrastructure n the Upper Danube by setting up apprpriate natinal as well as internatinal infrastructure segments and ensure links between them by defining and implementing relevant interfaces. Cnsequently additinal benefits are gained by merging the individual Services as well as efficient crss brder management will be ensured. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 12 f 188

16 2 Executive Summary 2.1 Intrductin The prject IRIS Eurpe has led t the pilt implementatin f RIS infrastructure in several member states and was the initiatr f the implementatin f RIS services n Eurpean level as defined in Directive 2005/44/EC n harmnised river infrmatin services (RIS) n inland waterways in the Cmmunity. The main bjective f the prject was the cntributin t and stimulatin f harmnized implementatin f River Infrmatin Services n basis f the EU RIS Directive in rder t imprve safety, efficiency and envirnmental friendliness n Eurpean inland waterways. Sme specific bjectives f the prject were therefre: Pilt implementatins in the participating Member States f RIS services as defined in the EU RIS Directive Define and implement in a pilt envirnment additinal RIS services with special fcus n crss-brder peratins, in line and exceeding the minimum requirements accrding t the RIS Directive. Harmnisatin and Standardisatin f RIS-Technlgy, Applicatins and Services abve the level f the minimum requirements accrding t the RIS Directive and as such supprting the Expert Grups respnsible fr standardisatin f RIS services Crss-brder c-peratin f the natinal authrities respnsible fr inland navigatin and fr the implementatin f RIS accrding t the RIS Directive, fcusing n crss brder Services including the prcedures f internatinal exchange f relevant data. IRIS Eurpe was designed in such a way that differing natinal requirements, existing RIS technlgies and services and reginal characteristics are brught tgether under ne umbrella, which ensures harmnised implementatin prgress and cmpliance with relevant existing RIS-Standards. 2.2 IRIS Eurpe Infrastructure Implementatin In rder t prvide already defined but als new River Infrmatin Services, it was necessary t implement the apprpriate intelligent infrastructure. Therefre a main fcus f IRIS Eurpe was the specificatin, implementatin and testing f pilt infrastructure fr River Infrmatin Services: AIS infrastructure Alng the Slvakian stretch f the Danube Inland AIS base statins were installed, which frward traffic infrmatin received frm Inland AIS transpnders nbard the vessels, t the natinal RIS Centre. Traffic infrmatin cntains details abut the identificatin, psitin and mvement f vessels n inland waterways and enables users t manage traffic in an efficient way. Furthermre the pssibility f shared use f AIS infrastructure was investigated, agreed and tested within a pilt implementatin between Slvakia and Hungary. Electrnic Reprting service infrastructure In Austria, Slvakia, Hungary and France, a natinal infrastructure was specified and implemented allwing t electrnically reprt carg and vyage data frm skippers and fleet peratrs t relevant authrities. Electrnic reprts cntain details abut the vessel, vyage and carg (dangerus, nn-dangerus). Hull database service infrastructure In Austria, Slvakia, Hungary and the Netherlands the infrastructure fr management (creatin, maintenance, availability) f hull data was specified and implemented. The natinal Hull databases cntain the cmplete set f vessel certificatin data, while parts f this infrmatin are used fr a mre efficient prvisin f RIS. The natinal databases will be cnnected t the Eurpean Hull database in a later step (nt part f IRIS Eurpe) fr the exchange f the Minimum Hull Data Set defined by directive 2008/87/EC. Infrastructure fr internatinal exchange f RIS data Austria, Slvakia, Hungary, Cratia, Rmania and the Netherlands were elabrating detailed specificatins fr an apprpriate decentralised infrastructure fr the internatinal exchange f psitin infrmatin (AIS data in a first step), carg and vyage infrmatin (ERI data) and hull data between RIS centres and fr the prvisin f infrmatin t entitled users. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 16 f 188

17 A technical cncept was elabrated in cperatin with an IT expert cmpany prviding the basis fr the specificatin and tendering prcedures f the relevant pilt infrastructure in Austria, Slvakia, Hungary and Cratia. Prven experiences frm similar systems in the maritime field were taken int accunt (e.g. SafeSeaNet). A Technical and Administrative Agreement (TAA) was drawn up with the expertise f experienced lawyers. The TAA will be signed by authrised representatives f the relevant Member States f the EU and prvides the legal basis fr the internatinal exchange f RIS data. Already established legal agreements in the RIS field are taken int accunt. 2.3 IRIS Eurpe Services Apart frm the RIS services related t the abve mentined IRIS Eurpe infrastructures, the prject als fcused n the develpment f crss brder infrmatin data exchange and several ther RIS services Crss brder infrmatin exchange In recent years traffic management and transprt management infrastructure fr RIS were established n a natinal basis and with different speeds, which led t gaps in the prvisin f River Infrmatin Services cvering the inland waterway netwrk in Eurpe and a misfit f crss brder infrmatin services. Therefre IRIS Eurpe was nt in the first place a technlgical develpment prject, but had its fcus n the prvisin f services t the users f RIS, especially by implementing internatinal exchange f infrmatin and ensuring a reliable quality f RIS services, frm the data surce t the end user. In the Seine-Scheldt-Rhine cuntries peratinal infrmatin is exchanged since few years between the authrities, als invlving the seaprts in a standardised way (based n the Standard fr electrnic ship reprting in inland navigatin by the CCNR). Between the Danube cuntries a first implementatin f internatinal exchange f traffic related infrmatin was demnstrated in the COMPRIS prject. In rder t harmnize the internatinal RIS data exchange in a stepwise apprach, in IRIS Eurpe the prject standard n internatinal RIS data exchange was develped and pilt implemented amng 5 cuntries, supprted by the experiences gained in the Seine-Scheldt-Rhine cuntries. As infrmatin is accmpanying the vessel n its whle jurney, RIS shuld nt t be limited by natinal brders with their traditinal barriers fr the infrmatin flw between authrities. A seamless crssing f brders is a crucial part in the inland waterway transprtatin prcess, ne f the mst essential activities f the IRIS Eurpe prject has been the attempt t define the requirements and specify the data exchange between stakehlders in inland navigatin n internatinal level. This activity fcussed n the prcess twards an agreement between the member states wh are participating in IRIS Eurpe and n a technical (prject) standard fr internatinal data exchange in the RIS envirnment. The results f this activity were the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin, a technical prject standard fr internatinal exchange f RIS data in all cuntries participating in IRIS Eurpe, and the draft Technical and Administrative Agreement as the legal basis fr internatinal exchange f RIS data. Pre-cnditin fr seamless prvisin f River Infrmatin Services is the intrductin f the Unique Eurpean Vessel Identificatin Number (ENI). It was identified during COMPRIS and prved in practise within IRIS Eurpe that it is f utmst imprtance that vessels participating in RIS have a unique ENI number assigned, as an essential pre-cnditin t link the vessels and the RIS services. The ENI was implemented in IRIS Eurpe and the prject prved that the intrductin and acceptance f the ENI is an essential achievement fr the RIS cmmunity. Technical and legal agreements n a standardised prvisin f infrmatin acrss brders facilitates in the future vessel traffic management prcesses, incident abatement prcedures, brder cntrls etc. and makes these prcesses mre efficient. In IRIS Eurpe the first steps have been undertaken t slve the technical, prcedural and regulatry issues in crss-brder data exchange. By taking these steps an imprtant benefit is in reach fr gvernmental users as well as fr cmmercial users. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 17 f 188

18 2.3.2 Innvative River Infrmatin Services Calamity abatement Apprpriate infrastructures fr a service supprting calamity abatement were specified and pilt implemented by Austria, Belgium, Hungary, the Netherlands and Slvakia. One f the relevant prpsals frm the study n calamity abatement is the intrductin f calamity classificatin (type and severeness) as essential part f calamity services. In this case nt nly the alert chain shuld be initiated but als the calamity related infrmatin has t be harmnised. A prpsal fr a special calamity abatement message t be exchanged between neighburing cuntries is prpsed by this study and already frwarded t the relevant rganisatins (G/ICC expert grup f the CCNR, T&T expert grup). Waste management In principle the mst imprtant activity f RIS related t waste management is n shrt ntice t create awareness in the inland navigatin envirnment n waste management. The study als led t the cnclusin that it wuld be apprpriate t start with the inclusin f waste cllectin dispsal facilities in Inland ECDIS. A prpsal was frwarded t the Inland ECDIS Expert Grup. Apprpriate infrastructure fr a service supprting waste management was pilt implemented in the Netherlands. Autmatic identificatin and tracking & tracing f Barges A feasibility study n a pssible pilt implementatin fr autmatic identificatin f barges and frwarding f relevant barge infrmatin (psitin, cnvy data, ) t entitled stakehlders, based n the requirements f relevant actrs. In a first step a cncept fr the integratin f barge and cnvy infrmatin int Inland AIS was frwarded t and is in discussin within the Tracking & Tracing expert grup. In a secnd step further crdinatin with the ERI expert grup is freseen. Cllisin avidance A feasibility study n cllisin avidance was elabrated fcusing n the determinatin f additinal measures fr RIS systems in rder t reduce incidents and accidents. In terms f RIS Services/Systems the study cncluded that heading devices fr larger vessels in cmbinatin with AIS transpnders will imprve safety f navigatin, Inland ECDIS as well as NtS as standard facilities n bard the vessels will further imprve safety. 2.4 Technical and Administrative Agreement and the technical specificatin f the internatinal data exchange Within IRIS Eurpe, the internatinal data exchange was specified By means f a Technical and Administrative Agreement (TAA) giving directin n the regulatry level which is t be accepted amng the IRIS Eurpe beneficiaries f the Member States that are exchanging data amng each ther and By means f the initial technical specificatin f the interface between natinal r reginal RIS infrastructures and as laid dwn in the s-called RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin. This RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin serves as input t the main annexes t the TAA A Task Frce n Internatinal Data Exchange, under the lead f via dnau and Rijkswaterstaat and with the invlvement f representatives f all beneficiaries and rganisatins in charge f executing the wrk in IRIS Eurpe, defined the prvisinal prject standard n internatinal data exchange in the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin. The reference dcumentatin serves as a technical specificatin fr internatinal RIS data exchange cnsisting f: User rles / access rights f all stakehlder grups invlved in inland navigatin with pssible natinal differences RIS data exchange prcess descriptin Definitin f the required data exchange messages (XML Messaging Reference Guide and XML Scheme Definitins) Technical descriptin f the required interfaces (Technical System Cncept) This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 18 f 188

19 In IRIS Eurpe a pilt implementatin has been set up, which intercnnects France, Belgium (Flanders), The Netherlands, Austria, Slvakia, Hungary and Cratia n basis f the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin. The Seine-Scheldt-Rhine system (SSR system) fr data exchange between the Netherlands, France and Belgium (Flanders) is intercnnected by means f the s called IRIS Eurpe layer with the systems in Austria, Slvakia, Hungary and Cratia. The IRIS Eurpe layer (the internatinal data exchange between the fairway authrities f the SSR member states is based n the same internatinal standards as the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin, hwever the technical implementatin differs, see chapter ) is the linking element between existing peratinal systems and the RIS data exchange reference specificatins f IRIS Eurpe. Nt in all participating member states a full-blwn pilt implementatin has been realised in the cntext f IRIS Eurpe. Hwever the main principle f the internatinal data exchange cncept has been tested. On functinal level there are n differences in the appraches. There are differences in the technical details, but the pilt implementatins in IRIS Eurpe have shwn that minr technical differences are n bstacles fr the cncept f standardised RIS data exchange as specified in the prject. An imprtant remark has t be made n the natinal implementatin f the different RIS pilt systems and technlgies. It was nt in the scpe r the respnsibility f the IRIS Eurpe prject t cme t identical natinal infrastructures in the different participating member states. The requirements with respect t the natinal infrastructures were restricted t: Cmpliance with the service requirements as defined in RIS Directive 2005/44/EC Cmpliance with the existing RIS Standards as defined in the RIS Directive and extensins t these as develped in IRIS Eurpe Cmpliance with the internatinal data exchange prvisinal prject standard n internatinal data exchange as develped in IRIS Eurpe. Existing applicatins and systems in Eurpe can differ n technical and peratinal level, the evlvement f these existing systems shuld lead in the future t ne Eurpean data exchange apprach. As a cnsequence the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin is restricted t requirements fr thse parts f the natinal infrastructure that deal with the internatinal data exchange. The natinal infrastructures can be set up accrding t the wn natinal pririties as lng as the internatinal data exchange prcesses including user rles and access rights, netwrk and security settings and as lng as the defined internatinal interfaces are strictly bserved. 2.5 Additinal utcmes f IRIS Eurpe Whereas the pilt implementatin f RIS infrastructures and the definitin f new RIS-services were the main bjectives f IRIS Eurpe, the prject als created a multitude f results related t the implementatin f the EU RIS Directive 2005/44/EC RIS Architecture The IRIS Eurpe activities with respect t the RIS Architecture fcused n the definitin, extensin and enhancement f rles fr gvernmental and lgistics RIS-users in the internatinal data exchange. In the develpment prcess fr the technical and legal prvisins f internatinal RIS data exchange in IRIS Eurpe it was identified that accessibility, cnfidentiality and prtectin f data requires a cmmn denminatr n Eurpean level. As cmmn denminatrs fr users f River Infrmatin Services, s called rles, were intrduced. It is a pre-cnditin that all cuntries participating in the internatinal exchange f RIS data have implemented and defined exactly the same individual user rles in rder t ensure apprpriate filtering f data t which a user f a certain user rle has n access. The basis fr the elabratin f the user rles was the already existing user rles definitin f the COMPRIS prject. First f all, all inland navigatin related actrs were listed and cmpared t the COMPRIS definitin. It was fund ut that a high number f the existing COMPRIS definitins were This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 19 f 188

20 apprpriate and thse were kept. In sme cases new user rles had t be defined r existing nes had t be redefined. Cnsequently the defined user rles were first agreed amng the participants f the technical RIS Data Exchange Task Frce and finally frm the basis fr the natinal Access Rights Matrices, which are als an integral part f the Technical and Administrative Agreement. Furthermre the lgistics task frce reviewed and prvided their input with respect t the lgistic envirnment fr the final versin f the defined user rles. Thus IRIS Eurpe cntributed t the enhancement f the COMPRIS RIS architecture with a cnslidated catalgue f rles fr gvernmental and lgistics RIS users Reference Functinal Specificatins In IRIS Eurpe a guideline fr the functinal specificatin f a RIS reference system including the cre cmpnents was elabrated. The guideline was a first attempt twards a cmprehensive utline fr functinal specificatins characterising a RIS system. The guidelines can serve as a starting pint fr the elabratin f detailed tender dcuments fr pssible RIS implementatins in the future. The guidelines reflect the actual state f the art f RIS and require regular updates due t changes in technlgy and evlutin in RIS standardisatin. It is f utmst imprtance that the results f IRIS Eurpe n the Guideline fr the elabratin f functinal specificatins are used as a starting pint fr future prjects and initiatives dealing with Reference technical and functinal specificatins f RIS systems Training and Educatin In IRIS Eurpe a cncept fr training and educatin f River Infrmatin Services was elabrated, based n the needs and requirements f the inland navigatin sectr. Originally it was freseen t establish a RIS training cncept fr all Eurpean cuntries that have RIS implemented. After a first analysis f previus results related t training and educatin fr RIS it was sn identified that n user need analysis was available, als given the fact that the RIS implementatin status differs frm cuntry t cuntry. Thus it was decided t perfrm the initial user needs analysis. The IRIS Eurpe training and educatin cncept resulting frm the user needs analysis was designed in such a way that it can be applied n Eurpean level, due t its mdularity and cmpleteness in cvering all available RIS technlgies. The pssible diversity f user needs in ther cuntries can be cvered by a suitable chice f training mdules, as indicated in the training and educatin cncept. 2.6 Additinal activities within IRIS Eurpe Knwledge Transfer n RIS Implementatin In rder t supprt the implementatin f RIS alngside the inland waterway netwrk in Eurpe, a prper knwledge shall be available at the invlved gvernmental and cmmercial stakehlders f RIS. During IRIS Eurpe selected key experts, wh have wrked fr gvernmental stakehlders (ministries f transprt, waterway and traffic authrities, RIS prviders, RIS authrities, etc) were invited fr expert visits, which lasted between 2 5 days. In sme cases it was required that IRIS Eurpe Member State experts gave a training in the cuntry f the respective rganisatin, mainly due t travel r budget cnstraints f the rganisatin interested in the knwledge transfer. Besides transferring knwledge by means f expert exchange prgrammes in IRIS Eurpe, templates fr traineeship prgrammes were develped, applicable in the Danube regin as well as in the Rhine/Seine/Scheldt regin. Als a series f dedicated technical wrkshps were held. Sme highlights are: Wrkshp n electrnic reprting, BICS and psitin infrmatin fr Belgium and France (perfrmed by Rijkswaterstaat) Wrkshp n electrnic reprting and BICS fr Austria, Slvakia, Hungary and Cratia (perfrmed by Rijkswaterstaat) Wrkshp n internatinal RIS data exchange with Germany (perfrmed by via dnau) This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 20 f 188

21 Wrkshp n River Infrmatin Services with the Ukraine (perfrmed by Rijkswaterstaat and via dnau) Several wrkshps n River Infrmatin Services with Chinese delegatins in Eurpe and China (perfrmed by Rijkswaterstaat) Furthermre cperatin partners r partners nt directly invlved in the prject r sme if its wrkpackages were invited t relevant meetings and wrkshps Disseminatin and Crdinatin In rder t disseminate the wrk and results f IRIS Eurpe t different stakehlder grups, a wide variety f disseminatin measures was perfrmed. On natinal level regular stakehlder grup meetings were held, where the status f the prject was cmmunicated. Different disseminatin material was prduced and distributed, fr example the IRIS Eurpe prject flder in English language r the IRIS Eurpe prject flder in Slvak language, specifically addressing inland navigatin stakehlders in Slvakia. One f the mst imprtant disseminatin but als crdinatin measures was the establishment and the maintenance f the IRIS Eurpe prject website, which ffers a public sectin and a partner sectin. The public sectin prvides general infrmatin abut the prject and reprts, which are f public interest. The dedicated partner sectin prvides a full set f infrmatin, wrking dcuments and the cmplete prvisins fr the internatinal RIS data exchange including all Change Requests and Requests fr Infrmatin f the task frce fr internatinal RIS data exchange. IRIS Eurpe results were als presented n a variety f cnferences, wrkshps and meetings, fr example at internatinal transprt cnferences, at meetings f the internatinal RIS Expert Grups, at meetings f the Central Cmmissin fr Navigatin n the River Rhine (CCNR) and als at meetings f the RIS Cmmittee f the Eurpean Cmmissin. Apart frm varius presentatins during cnferences and meetings, the Management team f IRIS Eurpe cnvened an IRIS Eurpe Seminar n Internatinal Data Exchange fr River Infrmatin Services (RIS) n 22 Octber 2008 at the Crwn Plaza Htel in Brussels. During the Seminar, keynte speakers presented the cnclusins f the IRIS Eurpe prject and the latest develpments n internatinal data exchange in the field f River Infrmatin Services (RIS) fr the future f inland navigatin, and Member States have als demnstrated their achieved results.

22 3 Cnclusins and Recmmendatins 3.1 Cnclusins The main cnclusins frm WP 1 Crss brder pilt traffic management infrastructure are: AIS pilt infrastructure implementatin related tasks were executed fully in line with the prvisins in the wrkplan. As a result f the IRIS Eurpe wrk package 1, AIS pilt infrastructure is available in Hungary and Slvakia. It can be cncluded after an extensive testing perid that the perfrmance f the AIS netwrk n the Danube as far as it is implemented is prviding n an adequate level the required RIS services t the authrities and the private users. In the basic netwrk additinal services are implemented, fr example: Real time water level infrmatin tgether with Inland Electrnic Navigatinal Charts t supprt the users with the pssibility fr mre accurate depth infrmatin fr navigatin purpses and as a first step twards the calculatin f current and future water depths leading t a better utilisatin f the fairway and transprt capacity in terms f lading draught dgps psitin services t prvide mre accurate psitining Based n the results f the pilt implementatin f Slvakia and Hungary, frm the technical pint f view it is pssible t share AIS infrastructure in cmmn river stretches in rder t increase reliability and availability. Thrugh the IRIS Eurpe prject a lck management system is implemented and tested n three main waterways in France (Seine, Msel, and n the Dunkerque Scheldt link in the nrth f France) and is currently in test n 4 lcks n the Sane River. The lck keeper s sftware is a cmputerizatin f the lck peratr s cmmn tasks. The system is an imprtant tl t imprve lck management in the mentined areas and leads t an ptimisatin f the lck prcess and cnsequently t the efficiency f the lcks, the waterway netwrk and the traffic n these fairways. The lck management system leads in additin t a centralised and imprved statistics f traffic n these fairways and will prvide mre and mre accurate infrmatin n the detectin f bttlenecks and cnsequently helps t identify measures fr slving and preventing bttlenecks. During the rll ut f RIS in previus prjects (e.g. in the frame f DRIS in Austria) it was identified that traffic related RIS services nly can be explited t a full extent if the significant majrity f vessels are equipped with Inland AIS transpnders. In the direct cntext f IRIS Eurpe it was investigated hw t initiate RIS equipment prgrammes in Slvakia and Hungary. With respect; thse prgrammes are planned t be implemented in the near future. As an extensin t previus equipment prgrammes it was identified that Inland AIS transpnders alne dn't generate full benefits fr skippers, and that als ther RIS equipment like Inland ECDIS viewers shuld be subject f future equipment prgrammes. The feasibility study n barge identificatin has led t the cnclusin that the use f Inland AIS fr the transmissin f the identificatin, lading status and psitin f individual barges within a cnvy is technically preferable, cst effective and in line with the RIS standards and guidelines. The use f Inland AIS fr this purpse nly requires an additinal message fr the transmissin f the barge and cnvy infrmatin. Barge identificatin service can be made available in this way t authrities and lgistics users. Authrities have a fcus n T&T infrmatin f barges invlved in navigatinal activities (e.g. t imprve lck management), whereas lgistics users (e.g. prts and terminals) als require infrmatin abut mred barges e.g. t lcate them fr transhipment prcesses and fr the calculatin f fees. Additinal research is needed with respect t barge identificatin fr uncupled barges. Detailed tests f the pilt implementatin f the internatinal exchange f RIS data amng several cuntries within IRIS Eurpe have prven the defined cncept and elabrated specificatins. The pilt implemented infrastructure prvides the necessary functinality fr the internatinal exchange f traffic infrmatin (AIS data). This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 22 f 188

23 The main cnclusins frm WP 2 Crss brder e-gvernment services are: ERI, Hull and data exchange pilt infrastructure implementatin related tasks f WP2 were executed fully in line with the wrkplan. In line with the bligatins n electrnic reprting in the RIS Directive, skippers and fleet managers have nw als the pssibility t create and prvide vessel, carg and vyage infrmatin electrnically t the related natinal authrities f Austria, Slvakia, Hungary and Cratia. This can be dne either via the electrnic reprting client applicatin BICS by the implemented interface t the natinal systems r directly via the Graphical Web User Interface f the natinal systems. As a first step twards the fulfilment f the requirements f the EU RIS Directive, France has implemented pilt electrnic reprting services by using existing infrastructure (e.g. RWS mail server f the Netherlands and MIB f Germany). A Hull data management infrastructure was specified, implemented and successfully tested in Austria, Slvakia, Hungary and the Netherlands. The implementatin f the natinal Hull data management infrastructures, Austria, Slvakia, Hungary and the Netherlands are inline with the requirements ut f Directive 2006/87/EC, its amendment 2006/137/EC and Directive 2008/87/EC. Related natinal authrities are the main users and manage their natinal vessel certificatin data accrding t the Directive. As it is required fr prper peratin f RIS, a subset f the natinal Hull data, the s called Minimum Hull Data Set, is successfully exchanged via the internatinal RIS data exchange infrastructure amng the participating cuntries. The natinal infrastructures implemented within IRIS Eurpe prvide the basis fr the intercnnectin t the Eurpean Hull Database which will be implemented in the frame f the PLATINA prject. The RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin as specified in IRIS Eurpe is a viable fundatin fr implementatin f internatinal RIS data exchange. The prvisins fr the internatinal RIS data exchange are successfully deplyed by means f pilt implementatins. The pilt implementatins enable authrities and lgistic users likewise t access psitin, carg-, vyage- and hull-related data in a secure manner. The prject standard n internatinal data exchange as specified in the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin will need after the IRIS Eurpe prject further enhancement and mst prbably in the cming years there will be a need fr further extensin e.g. based n peratinal experiences, new RIS services and existing systems and applicatins. The beneficiaries f the IRIS Eurpe Member States identified that a multilateral administrative agreement amng the Member States is needed as basis fr the internatinal data exchange in rder t fulfil the requirements f Eurpean privacy regulatins. Fr this purpse they have elabrated the s-called Technical and Administrative Agreement fr the internatinal data exchange with regard t River Infrmatin Services, in shrt TAA. Pan-Eurpean RIS Services require harmnised RIS reference data. The IRIS Eurpe Lgistics Task Frce prvided a set f advices, aiming fr a future integratin f the lgistics sectr int RIS pilt prjects. The main cnclusins frm WP 3 Pilt implementatin envirnmental services are: The studies, pilt implementatins and related tasks within WP 3 were executed fully in line with the wrkplan. Waste management practices differ in cuntries, in urban and rural areas, and as far as residential, industrial, and cmmercial prducers are cncerned. The cnclusin f the feasibility study n added value fr a RIS service n waste management is that the River Infrmatin Services can supprt waste management. The pririty fr this mment is hwever t create awareness n a harmnised apprach n waste cllectin instead f using River Infrmatin Services fr enfrcement f prper waste management fr inland shipping. All the cuntries invlved agree that RIS shuld be used primarily fr infrmatin exchange. This infrmatin can supprt the skippers as well as the authrities and third parties. The first step This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 23 f 188

24 in using RIS fr waste management fr inland navigatin shuld fcus n the use f defined standards and available services. Examples f this are: Adding the lcatin f waste cllectin pints, lcatin f waste facilities in prts and n lcks - including the types f waste that can be discharged - t the Inland ECDIS charts. A successful pilt was executed in IRIS Eurpe n prviding infrmatin in the Inland ECDIS n waste cllectin dispsal. Based n this pilt, a change request was frwarded t the Inland ECDIS Expert Grup that cntains the prpsitin t add the lcatin cde attribute t refuse dumps. Equipping bilge bats and waste cllecting vessels with AIS in rder t prvide infrmatin n the psitin f the bilge bat t ther skippers and t facilitate planning f the dispsal f waste during navigatin. IRIS Eurpe defined a unique classificatin (type and severeness) f calamities, essential fr crss brder calamity abatement services. A prpsal fr a special calamity abatement message t be exchanged between neighburing cuntries is prpsed and already frwarded t the relevant rganisatins (G/ICC expert grup f the CCNR, T&T RIS expert grup). Apart frm the infrmatin, a general guideline n the alert chain shuld be harmnised n Eurpean level, cnsidering differing cmpetencies f lcal authrities and rganisatins. Calamity abatement pilt services are integrated in the RIS data exchange infrastructure in Austria, Slvakia, Hungary, Belgium, the Netherlands and Cratia. As a result f the feasibility study n cllisin avidance it is cncluded that heading devices fr larger vessels in cmbinatin with AIS transpnders will imprve safety f navigatin. Inland ECDIS as well as NtS as standard facilities n bard the vessels will further imprve safety. The main cnclusins frm WP 4 Crdinatin Crridr VII, Rhine, Seine and Baltic are: The tasks n knwledge transfer, reference technical specificatins and EU c-financing schemes within WP 4 were perfrmed fully in line with the wrkplan. The knwledge transfer n RIS implementatin based n trainings f key experts shwed very gd results and prved t be an efficient methd f prviding rganisatins thrughut Eurpe with basic knw-hw abut the initial steps t be taken fr RIS implementatin in their cuntries. The whle cncept f River Infrmatin Services shws an increasing level f cmplexity, thus it is a very imprtant task t prvide n ne hand a general verview f RIS including all the required cmpnents, n the ther hand t share detailed key expertise and practical experiences in RIS related technlgies, their implementatin and peratin. RIS prjects in EU c-financing schema: The cperatin within IRIS Eurpe supprted the administratins in charge in preparing pilt systems and allcated the budgets in EU cfinancing schemes. In Serbia, Rmania and Bulgaria, (at least) RIS pilt systems are implemented, the full scale implementatin f RIS in these cuntries is planned within the next 3 years. In Cratia, RIS implementatin is very much advanced. The cperatin as cperatin partner within IRIS Eurpe assured the harmnized develpment. The main cnclusins frm WP 5 Open issues n harmnisatin and standardisatin are: The studies n RIS architecture, training and educatin and envirnmental impacts f RIS implementatin within IRIS Eurpe were executed fully in line with the wrkplan within WP 5. The user needs analysis in IRIS Eurpe with relatin t training and educatin shwed that there is a strng need frm the inland navigatin sectr fr RIS specific trainings. The analysis als shwed that RIS did nt yet find its way int existing curses fr skippers. As a cnsequence a training cncept was elabrated in IRIS Eurpe, prviding an utline fr training mdules related t the different RIS technlgies as they are made available n bard f vessels. It was cncluded that in a first step it is in the respnsibility f RIS authrities and RIS prviders t initiate educatin and training prgrammes in clse cperatin with the branch rganisatins and applicatin prviders. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 24 f 188

25 The verall envirnmental impact f IRIS Eurpe is psitive. The deplyment f RIS n the Eurpean inland waterway netwrk will imprve safety, efficiency and envirnmental friendliness f inland navigatin and as a cntributin t envirnmental friendly transprt will lead t a mdal shift frm rad t waterbrne transprt. The implementatin f RIS in Eurpe will als further enhance the envirnmental friendliness f inland navigatin, and RIS will significantly cntribute t the achievement f envirnmental gals (such as defined in the Kyt Prtcl). 3.2 Recmmendatins The main recmmendatins frm WP 1 Crss brder pilt traffic mgmt. infrastructure are: In rder t enable real time tracking f vessels, the set up f a seamless shre based Inland AIS infrastructure is essential. It is therefre recmmended t facilitate the implementatin f shre based Inland AIS infrastructure and clse gaps, where required. It is recmmended t share the use f Inland AIS infrastructures in brder areas t increase reliability and availability and/r reduce implementatin, peratin and maintenance csts. As an example it is recmmended t share the use f AIS infrastructure in particular in the lng brder stretch in the Rmanian-Bulgarian sectin f the Danube. The prvisin f Inland AIS transpnders by means f equipment prgrams lwers the barriers fr skippers and fleet peratrs in making use f RIS and it als eases the intrductin f Inland AIS. It is therefre recmmended t carry ut equipment prgrams and (if feasible) harmnize the criteria fr prviding Inland AIS transpnders and ther RIS systems. It is recmmended t start equipment prgrams in all Eurpean cuntries, and nt restrict equipment prgrammes t Inland AIS transpnders nly, as it was identified that transpnders alne dn t generate full benefit fr the skippers and fleet peratrs. Skippers appreciated the prvisin f additinal infrmatin services, prvided by means f Inland AIS (e.g. water level infrmatin ver Inland AIS, dgps infrmatin ver Inland AIS, barge identificatin infrmatin, prvisin f hydr-mete data). It is therefre recmmended t investigate, which additinal infrmatin are demanded and are technical feasible (in particular with view n the channel capacity). Mrever, the authrities are recmmended t agree n a minimum level f infrmatin services prvided fr the skippers at Eurpean level. It is recmmended t initiate further research n barge identificatin f uncupled barges, based n the result and cnclusin f the IRIS Eurpe feasibility study n Barge Identificatin. The Eurpean wide availability f RIS Reference Data is a pre-requisite fr the prper functining f Pan Eurpean RIS Services. At present, nly a few cuntries are prviding this Reference Data accrding t the agreed cdificatin. It is therefre recmmended t place additinal emphasis n the cllectin, harmnisatin, disseminatin and maintenance f Reference Data as this frm the cmmn basis fr mst RIS Services. The main recmmendatins frm WP 2 Crss brder e-gvernment services are: IRIS Eurpe successfully established the technical fundatin fr the prvisin f infrmatin t lgistical RIS users making use f natinal and internatinal data exchange. It is recmmended t develp services by means f tests under peratinal cnditins. Making use f this experience, a mre suitable and sustainable apprach can be implemented which takes int accunt: The Technical and Administrative Agreement as the multilateral Eurpean administrative agreement fr natinal and internatinal data exchange The RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin as the technical basis fr natinal and internatinal data exchange. The experiences f the Task Frce fr Internatinal Data Exchange and the Evaluatin Task Frce as wrking platfrms fr the definitin and facilitating the implementatin f internatinal data exchange This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 25 f 188

26 It is recmmended that thse cuntries, nt having started yet with the wrk n natinal and internatinal data exchange t fllw the develpments in ther cuntries, familiarize themselves with the TAA and the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin, and then start their wn activities. It is recmmended t make electrnic reprting f vessel, vyage and carg data mandatry in a stepwise apprach fr certain classes f vessels after the peratinal intrductin and test phase f electrnic reprting. It is recmmended t evaluate the effectiveness f the implemented infrastructures and systems under peratinal cnditins in relatin t e.g.: The bjectives f the TAA The prject standard n internatinal data exchange Intercnnectin with Third Parties Natinal regulatins f the several member states It is recmmended that the IRIS Eurpe prject standard n internatinal data exchange, as laid dwn in the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin will be Adpted, frmalised and implemented by the Eurpean Cmmissin, Amended where necessary, Enhanced and extended n basis f future related prjects and experiences with the standard and Maintained, independent frm prject initiatives. It is recmmended that the respnsible bdies in their natinal administratins will implement the IRIS Eurpe pilt infrastructure n internatinal data exchange as peratinal systems in their RIS infrastructure as an interface t external authrities r private users, under the cnditins f the Eurpean and natinal regulatins n data privacy. The fllwing imprvements f the natinal and internatinal data exchange are recmmended at the technical, legal and rganisatinal level: It is recmmended t enhance the RIS Data Exchange Reference dcumentatin, in particular with simplificatin f the rles and access table in such a way that implementatin is eased. The RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin is recmmended t be imprved in such a way that the partners can supprt multiple different message versins simultaneusly. It is recmmended t amend Annex III f the TAA in such a way that it als takes int accunt existing appraches with respect t internatinal data exchange It is als recmmended t cntinue using XML fr the data exchange and investigate experiences f the maritime sectr (e.g. Shrt Sea XML, MaRNIS) frm services fr the benefit f RIS users (e.g. single windw, carg manifest) in clse cperatin with the maritime sectr. Each cuntry shuld prepare an inventry t determine if the prvisins fr natinal and internatinal data exchange are in line with the Natinal and Reginal regulatin and needs (RIS-users, RIS-peratrs). Based n the results the necessary changes will be handled in the maintenance rganizatin fllwing its terms f reference. The access rights tables cncerning the lgistic parties as published by the Lgistic Taskfrce shuld be taken int accunt. The apprach f integrating lgistical users in the develpment f additinal services f RIS Prviders is recmmended t be cntinued (e.g. by means f a lgistical task frce). It is recmmended t find slutins which enable the data exchange with nn-eu cuntries, which are nt cnsidered as safe-harbur in terms f the EU data prtectin legislatin (e.g. Serbia, Ukraine, and Cratia). This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 26 f 188

27 It is recmmended t frward a request t the supplier f the BICS sftware t update the dcumentatin especially with respect t the cmmunicatin with ther mailsystems. It is recmmended t investigate, if the utilizatin f the standardised ship-shre RIS messages is the mst suitable apprach fr the internatinal data exchange, als cnsidering the differing natinal access rights. It is recmmended that natinal Hull Data Management infrastructures as implemented in IRIS Eurpe will be intercnnected with the Eurpean Hull Database, which will be implemented in the frame f the PLATINA prject. The main recmmendatins frm WP 3 Pilt implementatin envirnmental services are: It is recmmended t implement the determined services (e.g. infrmatin n dispsal facilities in the Inland electrnic navigatinal charts) at a Eurpean level and t develp thse services further. Based n feasibility study and a pilt n added value fr a RIS service n waste management, it is recmmended t the Inland ECDIS expert grup t add the ISRS lcatin cdes t waste cllectin facilities in Inland ECDIS charts. It is recmmended that bilge bats and waste cllecting vessels will be equipped with Inland AIS transpnders in rder t prvide infrmatin n the psitins f the bilge bats t the ther skippers and t facilitate planning f the dispsal f waste during navigatin. It is recmmended that this will be priritised in RIS equipment prgrammes. It is recmmended t cntinue the wrk n calamity abatement, in particular twards data exchange with emergency and rescue service prviders, actual infrmatin t skippers in case f emergencies. It is recmmended t adpt the prpsal f IRIS Eurpe t implement a unique classificatin (type and severeness) f accidents, essential fr calamity abatement services. The cperatin with internatinal bdies (e.g. G/ICC expert grup f CCNR, T&T expert grup) is recmmended fr this task. It is recmmended t implement a special calamity abatement message, t be exchanged between neighburing cuntries in case f an accident. The cperatin with internatinal bdies (e.g. G/ICC expert grup f CCNR, T&T expert grup) is recmmended fr this task. It is recmmended t cnsider ways hw t increase the availability f heading infrmatin and its prvisin t Inland AIS transpnders. Mrever, it is recmmended t cntinue the research n cllisin avidance and develp additinal tls fr assisting the skipper in its navigatin decisins. Fr future develpments it is recmmended t cnsider results f prjects like CREATING, and t clsely cperate with future prject initiatives in this field, e.g. the FP7 prject ARIADNA (Maritime Assisted Vlumetric Navigatin System). The main recmmendatin frm WP 4 Crdinatin Crridr VII, Rhine, Seine and Baltic is: It is recmmended t cntinue the knwledge transfer n RIS implementatin in the future based n key-expert exchange prgrammes, enabling thse cuntries t catch up with the high speed f RIS develpment and implementatin, which jined the RIS cmmunity in a later stage. The main recmmendatins frm WP 5 Open issues n harmnisatin & standardisatin are: In rder t ensure the prper use f RIS-services and technlgies, training and educatin shuld be enhanced. The results f IRIS Eurpe shall be brught t the prject PLATINA, which currently discusses the harmnisatin f jb-prfiles. It is recmmended that RIS Authrities tgether with RIS Prviders initiate educatin and training prgrammes in clse cperatin with the branch rganisatins and applicatin prviders, and make use f the training and educatin cncept as prvided by IRIS Eurpe. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 27 f 188

28 The main recmmendatins frm WP 6 Prject management are: It is recmmended t cnnect the natinal RIS Implementatin prjects by means f an integrating prject such as IRIS Eurpe. By means f jintly deciding n the way frward, the implementatin f RIS is harmnized at a Eurpean level. Special fcus shuld be placed n the invlvement f cmpetent RIS Authrities and RIS Prviders, and lgistical RIS users in rder t assure the demand-driven develpment and implementatin f RIS Services. The cncept f cperatin partners and bservers shuld als be implemented in such a prject. In rder t imprve the exchange f infrmatin and gained experience a n (nn)-technical level, a Virtual Technical Platfrm (mderated Frum) shuld be established where (nn)- technicians can exchange infrmatin, experiences, backgrund infrmatin and can have direct cntact with ther (nn)-technicians.

29 4 WP 1 Crss Brder Pilt Traffic Management Infrastructure Respnsible Member States: Austria, Slvakia, Hungary, France 4.1 WP 1 Intrductin and Summary Main bjectives and utcmes f WP1 Based n research and develpment results f previus RIS related prjects it was imprtant t transfer the achieved results int functinal pilt implementatins. This especially refers t the internatinal exchange f psitin related infrmatin and its legal basis. Within the EU FP5 prject COMPRIS already the technical cncept fr psitin infrmatin exchange based n the Inland AIS technlgy between members states in Eurpe was analyzed. In WP1 this cncept was further enhanced and the gegraphical scpe was enlarged. Thus it was required t enhance the COMPRIS cncept in such a way that nt nly psitin related infrmatin culd be exchanged, but als ther infrmatin such as carg and vyage related infrmatin and hull related infrmatin. This lead t a strng interdependency between WP1 and WP2, where n ne hand the required pilt infrastructure fr btaining and prcessing basic data needed t be established, and n the ther hand a cmmn legal basis needed t be wrked ut. The interdependencies between WP1 and WP2 mainly apply between SWP 1.4 Traffic Infrmatin Data Exchange (users /internatinal), SWP 2.5 Crss-brder Services Pilt Implementatin and Testing and SWP 2.7 Hull Data Exchange Pilt Implementatin. Due t the technical, legal and gegraphical cmplexity f the internatinal RIS data exchange, dedicated chapters f the reprt at hand deal with the technical / prcedural prvisins fr the data exchange (RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin) and the legal / administratinal prvisins fr the data exchange (Technical and Administrative agreement). These aspects are thus nt cvered in full extent in the WP1 part f the final technical reprt. Besides the harmnized implementatin f internatinal RIS data exchange in Eurpe it was identified that cuntries implementing Inland AIS shre infrastructure (e.g. Inland AIS base statins) shuld make shared use f this infrastructure in cmmn brder sectins. In IRIS Eurpe a first pilt implementatin was made between Slvakia and Hungary, which shuld serve as best practice example fr cuntries like Rmania and Bulgaria. In France special emphasis was placed n the pilt implementatin f a lck management applicatin as an integral part f traffic management. Main bjectives f the pilt implementatin in SWP 1.3 were t imprve traffic statistics, t warn upstream r dwnstream f a cming vessel, t ease lck keeper s wrk and t ptimize prcesses f lcks thanks t a better planning f vessel s passages n a cmplete waterway sectin. Due t the fact that the majrity f inland waterway transprts is perfrmed by means f push cnvys cnsisting f several barges, a feasibility study n Barge identificatin, tracking and tracing was cnducted. Especially the suitability f mdern RIS technlgies like Inland AIS fr tracking and tracing f barges was analyzed, and a pssible pilt implementatin cncept was elabrated in SWP 1.5. The increase f traffic safety by means f Inland AIS strngly depends n the degree f vessels equipped with suitable Inland AIS transpnders. In the past an equipment prgramme was initiated by Austria within the TEN-T c-funded prject DRIS. Fllwing this example and taking int accunt natinal particularities, Slvakia and Hungary elabrated scenaris fr RIS equipment subsidy prgrammes in WP Wrk apprach The beneficiaries f the Member States invlved in WP1 prvided strategic guidance and supprted necessary plitical decisins t be taken either n natinal r internatinal level. The rganisatins in charge f implementing the prject in their cuntries were respnsible fr the natinal implementatin f the systems and infrastructures within WP 1 accrding t available relevant Standards, Draft Cmmissin Regulatins and EU Directives. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 29 f 188

30 Technical prvisins fr the implementatin / amendment f the natinal traffic management pilt infrastructures were available and used as basis fr specifying the related systems The crdinatin f internatinal tasks, fr example in setting up the shared use f AIS infrastructure, was dne in the regular IRIS Eurpe crdinatin meetings, whereas clarificatins f technical details were dne in a bilateral r multilateral meetings amng the partners invlved. Feasibility studies were presented at the regular IRIS Eurpe crdinatin meetings and als made available t the IRIS Eurpe cnsrtium by means f SWP reprts, als enabling the prvisin f feedback frm partners nt directly invlved in the SWP / WP. A summary f all main technical utcmes is prvided in the final technical reprt, whereas each partner was respnsible fr the individual input Results f WP1 in shrt The main utcmes f WP1 are: Implemented / amended peratinal pilt traffic management infrastructure based n Inland AIS in Slvakia and Hungary Implemented and peratinal pilt lck management applicatin as part f the IRIS Eurpe traffic management infrastructure in France Implemented traffic data exchange between Austria, Slvakia and Hungary Implemented pilt implementatin fr shared use f Inland AIS shre infrastructure between Slvakia and Hungary Feasibility study fr barge identificatin and tracking and tracing service, including a pilt utline fr a technical slutin based n Inland AIS Elabrated scenaris fr subsidy prgrammes fr RIS equipment in Slvakia and Hungary This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 30 f 188

31 4.2 SWP 1.1 Pilt Implementatin in Slvakia Respnsible Member State: Slvakia Intrductin / Main bjectives f SWP 1.1 in Slvakia The main bjective f SWP 1.1 in Slvakia was t set up and test the traffic management pilt infrastructure n the Slvak test stretch. The traffic management pilt infrastructure, in terms f tracking and tracing pilt system, is in line with the Cmmissin Regulatin (EC) N 415/2007 cncerning the technical specificatins fr vessel tracking and tracing systems Inland AIS Standard Legal requirements The RIS Directive 2005/44/EC n River Infrmatin Services has been transpsed int the natinal legislatin by the Act N. 179/2008 Cll. as amending the Act N. 338/2000 Cll. n Inland Navigatin. As a result f transpsitin f RIS Directive the Ministry f Transprt, Pst and Telecmmunicatins f the Slvak Republic (MDPT SR) assigned State Navigatin Administratin (SPS, Štátna plavebná správa) as the Slvak natinal RIS Prvider. Based n the Basel Agreement, which entered int frce fr the Slvak Republic n 1 December 2005, the Slvak Republic made available the VHF channels fr the purpses f autmatic identificatin systems Cmpnents and basic functinalities f the traffic management pilt infrastructure The traffic management pilt infrastructure fr autmatic tracking and prvisin f vessel psitins makes use f the Inland AIS technlgy. The pilt infrastructure cmprises f bellw described segments and cmmunicatin netwrk ensuring the link between them: Vessel segment, which generates and exchange the static and dynamic tactical traffic infrmatin f wn and ther vessels by means f Inland AIS transpnders within AIS cverage and with the base statins in the shre segment. Furthermre, it allws displaying the static and dynamic tactical traffic infrmatin by means f Inland ECDIS Viewers. Fr a prper testing f the traffic and tracing pilt infrastructure, 8 gvernmental vessels were equipped with Inland AIS mbile transpnders and Inland ECDIS Viewers in infrmatin mde (4 vessels f State Navigatin Administratin, 2 maintenance and measurement vessels, 1 passenger and 1 small tank vessel f the Slvak Water Management Enterprise). Shre segment, which receives and stres static and tactical traffic infrmatin f vessels within AIS cverage f the Inland AIS base statin and sends it t the peratr segment. It furthermre, bradcasts safety relevant messages, r generates dgps crrectin data and bradcast them t vessels within AIS cverage f the base statin. It cmprises f 4 AIS base statins lcated in Bratislava, Gabčíkv, Kmárn, Štúrv, each cnsisting f base statin transpnder and cntrller cnnected via internet t AIS netwrk.

32 Central segment, which receives static and tactical traffic infrmatin f vessels within AIS cverage f the base statins f the shre segment and stre it in the database server and prvides this infrmatin fr natinal and internatinal exchange f traffic data t gvernmental as well as cmmercial users (SWP1.4) as well as t WP2 fr triggering purpses f autmatic frwarding f ther relevant data r t SWP 3.2 ( Calamity Abatement Service ) fr enhanced infrmatin prvisin in case f calamities. Authrity segment, which displays actual and histric static and tactical traffic infrmatin f vessels within AIS cverage as the tactical traffic image fr the authrities by means e.g. Inland ECDIS Viewer. Fr the purpses f tests, different authrities have been equipped with wrk statins, cnsisting f persnal cmputers with the electrnic navigatinal chart cnnected t the RIS System, incl. natinal and internatinal data exchange: RIS Operatr in Bratislava in the premises the RIS Centre (4 cmputers); Lcal ffices (captaincies) f State Navigatin Administratin in Bratislava, Kmárn and Štúrv; Lck peratr in the lck f Gabčíkv. Figure 4: Authrity segment as part f the IRIS Eurpe traffic management pilt infrastructure Cmmunicatin netwrk verview fr the traffic management pilt infrastructure The cmmunicatin netwrk f the traffic management pilt infrastructure cnsists f fllwing physical cmpnents (withut details n ship brne sites): Base statin sites cmprises f ne base statin transpnder (Kngsberg Seatex AIS BS 410) and ne cntrller (HP Cmpaq PrLiant DL320 G5 Dual-Cre Intel Xen 3060). The base statin transpnder is a fixed statin fr cmmunicating with AIS transpnders n vessels. The cntrller's main functin is t receive, prcess and bradcast (e.g. safety related messages) AIS messages. The cntrller partially decdes the message and extracts the message id, sender's MMSI, etc. If the cntrller is cnnected t the AIS central database, the messages are stred at the central server; therwise the messages are stred lcally. Central servers the AIS pilt system runs n identical servers (HP Prliant DL380G5, Intel Xen 5130 Dual Cre prcessr). One f tw servers is active and the ther is backup server. The active central server runs AIS database (PstgreSQL), which stres all AIS data. The backup is dne as failver system. Failver is the capability t switch ver autmatically t a redundant (backup) server. Active and backup servers are in sync and always cntain the same data. Upn the failure r abnrmal terminatin f the previusly active server, the backup server becmes active. Intercnnectivity all shre base statins are cnnected t the system by means f internet cnnectivity. Bratislava, Gabčíkv and Kmárn are cnnected with WiMAX technlgy. WiMAX is the micrvawe technlgy accrding t the e standard in the licensed 3,5 GHz frequency band. Terminals (wrk statins) are capable f displaying the Tactical Traffic Image (TTI) in tw different mdes: real time mde (allwing users t display actual traffic situatin n ECDIS viewer) and histry mde (allwing users t display histrical traffic situatins n ECDIS viewer). Terminals are persnal cmputers with the EuRIS sftware package (EuRIS Viewer and EuRIS Player) and the Inland ECDIS Viewer installed (Tresc Inland ECDIS Viewer lcalised int Slvak language was used in the prject IRIS Eurpe).

Figure 5: Cmmunicatin netwrk within the traffic management pilt infrastructure in Slvakia Advanced functinalities f the traffic and tracing pilt infrastructure Additinally t basic requirements the pilt implementatin f advanced services (functinalities) was carried ut. This cmprises: Bradcasting f water levels ver AIS is additinal shrt term infrmatin t the water levels distributed via Ntices t Skippers. Actual water level infrmatin ver AIS, as pilt implemented in the Slvakia, is transmitted as a bradcast message nce a day at 8 a.m frm shre t ship in line with the Inland specific message 24: water levels f the AIS Standard. Water level data is prvided by the Slvak Hydr-meterlgical Institute (SHMU) frm 7 gauges lcated n the Slvak pilt stretch f the Danube. The update rate fr bradcasting data is subject f the availability f data and is cnfigurable. Figure 6: Prvisin f water level infrmatin t vessels within the cverage f base statins DGNSS crrectins ver AIS pilt infrastructure was set up as a pilt in Slvakia t prvide higher accuracy fr psitin infrmatin. This is achieved by cntinuusly sending DGNSS crrectin data, cnverted int AIS message 17, t vessels within the cverage f base statins. AIS ship brne transpnders can afterwards cmpensate cmmn errrs in psitin calculatins. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 33 f 188

Transfer f data starts manually and is dne via secure SSL. The system cnsists f tw sftware cmpnents: the AIS server and the AIS client. The AIS server nly sends available AIS messages. Fr each message and each client, the server checks if the client is allwed t receive the AIS messages (if ship is navigating in client area) and sends the message. The Slvak AIS database intrduced a special base statin called Hungary_live with MMSI number A default setting fr this base statin is ff-line, whereas the administratin can access the settings and change t n-line in case f emergencies.

The pilt traffic management infrastructure cmprises f the fllwing segments: Ship Segment t generate and exchange the tactical traffic infrmatin by means f inland AIS transpnders, mrever t display the tactical traffic infrmatin n inland ECDIS Viewers (=Tactical Traffic Image) Shre Segment t receive the tactical traffic infrmatin by means f inland AIS base statins (which include base statin cntrller and systems fr the prvisin f dgps ver AIS) Operatr Segment t prcess (stre, display, ) the tactical traffic infrmatin Authrity Segment t display the tactical traffic image fr the authrities In 2007 the Gvernmental Decree 219/2007 (VIII.15.) n River Infrmatin Services has been issued in Hungary that is regulating the rles and respnsibilities f the RIS authrity and RIS peratr/prvider. In this cntext the Natinal Transprt Authrity is the designated RIS authrity that has cntracted RSOE as RIS prvider after public prcurement. The segments prvide the fllwing functins within SWP1.2 The Ship Segment generates static and tactical traffic infrmatin f wn vessel by means f AIS transpnders and als receives this infrmatin frm ther vessels. It als generates and receives safety relevant messages by means f an Inland ECDIS viewer and bradcasts them t ther vessels with AIS cverage. This segment can display actual tactical traffic infrmatin and safety relevant messages frm ther vessels within AIS cverage by means f an Inland ECDIS viewer. The Shre Segment receives and stres this static and tactical traffic infrmatin and safety relevant messages f vessels within AIS cverage and sends it t the peratr segment, r bradcast the infrmatin received frm the shre (generated in the peratr segment) t vessels. The Operatr Segment receives the static and tactical traffic infrmatin and safety relevant messages f vessels within AIS cverage f the Inland AIS base statins f the shre segment and stres it in the database server. It mnitrs and cntrls the netwrk and the netwrk elements, and prvides tactical traffic infrmatin, gathered via the AIS shre infrastructure t gvernmental as well as cmmercial users t WP2 fr triggering purpses f autmatic frwarding f ther relevant data and t SWP 3.2 ( Calamity Abatement Service ) fr enhanced infrmatin prvisin in case f calamities. The Authrity Segment receives the traffic infrmatin and safety relevant messages f vessels within AIS cverage frm database server within the peratr segment. It generates safety relevant messages by means f an Inland ECDIS viewer, sends safety relevant messages t Inland AIS base statins in the shre segment and displays actual and histric tactical traffic infrmatin and safety relevant messages f vessels within RIS area n an ENC by means f an inland ECDIS viewer Fr the prper executin f the tests eight gvernmental/authrity vessels have been equipped with Inland AIS transpnders and Inland ECDIS viewers in infrmatin mde.

The analysis applicatin allws any user t replay the traffic n a specific part f the netwrk within a defined time perid. This way it s pssible t have several kinds f interpretatins. The cnsequences will be that majr bttlenecks detected culd be limited by specific actins decided n the basis f this analysis (e.g. lck keeper activities, etc.). Example f this applicatin which can analyse the number f vessels n a specific perid n each lcks, based lck keeper sftware data: Figure 17: Example f lck statistics The clurs depend n the number f vessels in the area. Green stands fr the less frequented areas, red fr the mst frequented areas. The lck keeper sftware is als a great pprtunity t harmnise data entry abut vessels traffic n the high capacity netwrk. The advantages are very imprtant. Limiting the number f hetergeneus tls fr the lck keepers Centralised cllectin f the data in a same database, allwing better analysis and pssibility t develp cmmn tls fr every users f the netwrk wherever they are Cnclusin Deplyment f such an applicatin was nt easy at the beginning because the lck keepers were nt aware abut the use and the pssible benefits f new technlgies and systems. But after an adaptatin perid, the results became very interesting and the users had the feeling t be invlved in the sftware develpment and were very reactive abut its use. This pint was a key in the prcess f a glbal implementatin f the sftware all ver the cuntry. Training f the lck keepers turned ut t be a pre-cnditin fr a successful pilt peratin f the system. Several hundreds f lck keepers need t be trained, which required a high effrt during the deplyment f the system. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 43 f 188

44 Als very imprtant fr the lck keepers was the deplyment f an interface between the German sftware and the lck keeper sftware (described in SWP 2.1). Nw n each part f the crss brder, nly ne data entry is needed, the ther side receives the infrmatin directly, the jb becmes mre efficient and mre cperative between the tw cuntries. The sftware is nw able t be cnnected with ther infrmatin systems, t send r integrate messages t annunce vessels n each lck. Each lck f the netwrk which is using the applicatin is cnfigurable t send infrmatin when a vessel is crssing the lck t ther systems. This culd als be dne fr upstream r dwnstream r bth. In the future steps, the sftware has t be deplyed in the rest f the cuntry n high capacity waterways. Mrever sme tests will be dne fr an adapted versin especially dedicated t small rivers where lcks management is nt the same as n big canal (persnal nt always n each lck).

45 4.5 SWP 1.5 Barge Identificatin Service Respnsible Member State: Austria Main bjective Tracking and Tracing (T&T) slutins as AIS enable the prvisin f static and tactical traffic infrmatin f equipped vessels, which cntributes nt nly t increased safety but als t enhanced efficiency f inland navigatin. After this first step the lgical cnsequence is t include infrmatin f nn-mtrised barges in rder t be able t prvide additinal services t cmmercial and gvernmental users. Therefre the main bjectives f SWP 1.5 were: Elabrate the requirements f relevant actrs invlved in barge peratin Cnduct a feasibility study fr a barge ID system. Elabrate and utline a pssible pilt implementatin fr autmatic identificatin f barges and frwarding f relevant barge infrmatin (psitin, cnvy data, etc.) t the peratr segment, based n the requirements f relevant actrs within the Danube regin. A study (IDEAL) was cnducted within the lead prject Innvative Inland Navigatin under the I2 Intelligent Infrastructure prgram f the Austrian Federal Ministry f Transprt, Innvatin and Technlgy t elabrate detailed requirements fr a barge ID system with respect t the user needs f users invlved in barge peratin. Existing fleet management systems (e.g. COPIT, ELWIS, BOATRACS, and FLOSYS) were analyzed t evaluate their suitability fr barge ID. The existing systems were rated as nt applicable. As required in Directive 2005/44/EC AIS infrastructure is deplyed n several rivers in the Eurpean Unin. Therefre the use f already existing AIS infrastructure t transmit barge infrmatin is bvius. Electrnic Reprting is the leading technlgy within the SSR-Crridr whereas AIS is dminant n the Danube River (e.g. in Slvakia and Austria). In a first step an integratin f barge infrmatin via enhancement f AIS was fcused, since AIS allws fr cntinuus T&T f vessels Requirements fr a barge infrmatin system Requirements twards a barge identificatin service are made frm the authrities and frm lgistics users. Authrities have a fcus n T&T infrmatin f barges invlved in navigatinal activities (e.g. t imprve lck management), whereas lgistics users (e.g. prts and terminals) als require infrmatin abut mred barges e.g. t lcate them fr transhipment prcesses and fr the calculatin f demurrage fees. In the table belw main requirements fr a barge infrmatin system are listed: # Keywrd Descriptin 1 T&T availability cupled 2 T&T availability uncupled The Barge T&T system shall prvide cntinuus T&T f barges with high psitin accuracy and a high update rate when cupled t a push bat. The Barge T&T system shall prvide barge psitin infrmatin while the barge is uncupled. 3 Lw csts The expenses fr the Barge T&T system shall be kept as lw as pssible. This includes develpment csts, implementatin and setup csts as well as maintenance csts and csts fr data transactins. 4 Lng-life circle The Barge T&T system hardware shall perate fr lng times withut attendance f maintenance persnnel. 5 Pwer supply There shall be n need fr frequent change f batteries f the T&T device. 6 Usability The system sftware shall be easy t use by skippers withut special training. Input f data shall be carried ut by the shipmaster n bard the push bat but nt n the barge. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 45 f 188

46 7 System scpe The Barge T&T system shall be applicable t the entire inland navigatin fleet as far as pssible. The system shall nt be restricted by administrative r system inherent barriers. 8 Internatinal scpe The Barge T&T system shall prvide all authenticated users (e.g. fleet peratrs, lgistical users) with mst recent Barge T&T infrmatin n request, while the barges are travelling inland and abrad. 9 Durability The Barge T&T system equipment shall be munted in a secured means t prevent damage by carg during transhipment activities. 10 Anti-theft prtectin 11 Enhancement f RIS cre technlgies 12 Autmatic identificatin N cstly equipment shall be munted n the barge t prevent it frm being stlen. The Barge T&T system shall be in line with existing RIS standards, guidelines and technlgies, in particular with [EC/414/2007] and [EC/415/2007] f the Eurpean Parliament. The Barge T&T system shall easily be integrated int existing RIS implementatins. Barges shall be registered autmatically at certain lcatins (e.g. lcks, prts) and at push bats they are cupled t. Table 6: Requirements fr a Barge Infrmatin System Outline f a pssible pilt implementatin The barge identificatin service shall be develped and installed in tw phases. In the first phase mainly the demands f the authrities are met, in the secnd phase the system shall be further develped t meet the demands f lgistics users System prpsal phase 1 The high demand fr sufficient anti-theft prtectin, lng-life circle and the pwer supply limitatins n the barge called fr a slutin that is installed n mtrized vessels nly. Therefre, the fcus f the new Barge T&T system in the first phase is n the cupled state withut barge device. The system shall use the existing AIS infrastructure and shall nt require additinal expensive hardware n shre r maintenance intensive hardware nbard the barge. Barge infrmatin shall be integrated int the AIS transpnder f the push bat. Cnvy data - Manual input AIS ship data Figure 18: System prpsal fr Barge Tracking and Tracing The nbard AIS transpnder f the push bat is used t transmit barge infrmatin by means f a new AIS message, whereas the barge psitin derives frm the push bats psitin reprt.

The new defined AIS message cntaining the barge and cnvy data is received by all AIS transpnders and AIS base statins in VHF range and is stred at the lcal RIS centre. The data can be queried by authenticated users and be interpreted by external applicatins prviding custmised services t relevant stakehlders. Structure f the new AIS cnvy message The Inland AIS standard [EC/415/2007] shall be enhanced by a new defined binary bradcast message 8 AIS cnvy message. As an example the message fr a cnvy cmprising three barges ccupies ne AIS time slt. The length and structure f the cnvy message is adapted t the cnvy size. The cnvy message can ccupy a maximum f tw cnsecutive time slts; fr very large cnvys the cnvy data is split t up t eight message parts transmitted time shifted. The relevant barge data is prvided by the n-bard barge applicatin and transmitted in the fllwing data fields: Parameter Cnvy Cde Part number ENI Lad cnditin Descriptin The cnvy cde cntains infrmatin abut the amunt f barges cupled in the cnvy, the type f push bat and the arrangement f the barges within the cnvy. The part number assures the crrect attributin f the message part sent t the whle cnvy message and therefre ensures the crrect allcatin f barge psitins within the cnvy. Barges are identified by their Unique Eurpean Vessel Identificatin Number (ENI). The lad cnditin is f relevance fr e.g. lck peratrs Table 7: Example f AIS cnvy message related parameters T shw hw cnvy infrmatin is displayed in the barge ID system, an example fr a cnvy cnsisting f tree barges can be fund belw.

49 System prpsal phase 2 Based n the experience gained in phase ne the barge T&T system shall be enhanced t eliminate the system drawbacks. Infrmatin prvided by ther systems such as Electrnic Reprting shall be integrated int the Barge Infrmatin System t increase the value f the service fr lgistics users (e.g. cupling with carg and vyage infrmatin). T eliminate the shrtcming f n-availability f psitin infrmatin when a barge is nt cupled t a mtrized vessel bradcasting the AIS cnvy message, a GPS/GPRS tracking bx may be installed abard the barge prviding psitin infrmatin in additin t the AIS cnvy message. Such psitin infrmatin culd be sent rarely (e.g. nly nce a day) by this tracking bx t extend the battery life t a few years in an ideal case.

The Directive 2005/44/EC n River Infrmatin Services has been transpsed int the natinal legislatin by the Act N. 179/2008 Cll. as amending the Act N. 338/2000 Cll. n Inland Navigatin State f the Art In the Slvak Republic there are abut 10 prviders f water transprt and administratins which perate mre than 120 vessels. Sme f these vessels were equipped with ship brne Inland AIS transpnders in the frame f different prjects and prgrammes. Ttally 10 vessels f the Slvak administratin (SPS State Navigatin Administratin, SVP Slvak Water Management Enterprise) have been equipped fr test purpses within the COMPRIS prject and the IRIS Eurpe prject by ship brne transpnders. It was agreed that the referred vessel peratrs can cntinue using the installed equipment after the prjects are finished. Mst f the Slvak fleet (there are altgether 44 cmpanies licensed fr natinal and internatinal inland waterway transprt, as frm January 2008) was equipped within the Austrian Transpnder Equipment Prgramme, which was finished by the end In the curse f the IRIS Eurpe prject, the statistical analysis f ship brne AIS equipment needs fr the Slvak fleet was carried ut. The results f the analysis are displayed in the table.

The perfrmance and functinalities f system prviding river infrmatin services, in particular psitin infrmatin, are limited by ships navigating withut being equipped with AIS transpnder. Furthermre, frm the safety pint f view, it is imprtant t equip nt nly ships navigating internatinally but all vessels, including technical, maintenance and measuring ships. The result f analysis shwed that there is need f abut 50 transpnders t have a well cvered Slvak fleet. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 50 f 188

51 Other prblem is represented by freign ships navigating n the Slvak part f the Danube waterway withut AIS transpnders.

Acceptance criteria: Task t be executed Outcme Availability 1 Slvak subsidy prgram, which is apprved by the ministry f transprt Dcumentatin Language: SK Available at MDPT SR. 2 Dcument results Reprt n SWP1.6 Language: SK Table 13: Tasks perfrmed by Slvakia within SWP SWP 1.6 RIS Equipment Prgram in Hungary Respnsible Member State: Hungary Available at MDPT SR. During the rll ut f RIS in Austria, it was identified that River Infrmatin Services can be nly effectively deplyed, if a sufficient number f fairway users are making use f these services and share infrmatin, s if a high number f vessels are equipped with inland AIS transpnders. Fr this reasn, SWP 1.6 has delivered a subsidy prgramme cncept fr RIS equipment fr Hungary. This subsidy prgramme has been elabrated in clse natinal (with the ministry f transprt and the RIS Authrity) and internatinal cperatin in rder t ensure a rapid intrductin f RIS fr the fairway users. Research In clse cperatin with the ministry f transprt RSOE analysed the status f equipment f the Hungarian registered cmmercial vessels in rder t be able t determine the necessary investment. An nline questinnaire cntaining 30 questins regarding the available number f vessels, their equipment and their regular rute has been elabrated by RSOE. The questinnaire was sent ut t all available Hungarian cmpanies pssessing a navigatin permit n 21 st April, 2008 via filled and valuable questinnaires have been sent back t RSOE that has elabrated the necessary reprt based n these data. The result shwed that nly 50% f the Hungarian shipping cmpanies pssess at least ne vessel that has a unique ENI number and/r which is equipped with AIS transpnder, and there is nly ne rganisatin the fleet f which is ttally equipped. Mrever it can be stated that the technical backgrund f the vessels is quite week, there is n internet cnnectin and GPS antenna n the bard f the majrity. Althugh there is nly ne cmpany that has an imprtant technical nvelty regarding the RIS system: an ECDIS viewer, their n-shre ffices are well equipped: all f them pssess at least ne cmputer with internet cnnectin. The questinnaire highlights the need f precise and detailed infrmatin f the stakehlders, because nly 70% f them are willing t exchange traffic infrmatin (AIS data), carg and vyage infrmatin (ERI data) and hull data, which is essential fr the prper functining f the RIS. The answers fr the last questin indicate that althugh all f the respndents are interested in participating in the subsidy prgram, the majrity can nt invest wn funds at all r nt mre than The Austrian equipment prgram In 2006 via dnau started a prgramme fr the prvisin f inland AIS transpnders t the fairway users. Fairway users, which cruise n the Austrian Danube at a regular basis, can apply t btain a transpnder frm the fairway authrity fr very favurable cnditins. By means f this, a high percentage f the cmmercial vessels, which sail n the Austrian Danube have been equipped with inland AIS transpnders and this way have access t the basic RIS Services. After the intrductin phase, the Austrian Ministry f Transprt, Innvatin and Technlgy made the carriage f inland AIS transpnders mandatry. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 51 f 188

52 The Hungarian subsidy prgram RSOE recnciled with via dnau plans t fllw this successful prcess, the subsidy prgramme develped under SWP 1.6 is ging t be similar t the Austrian apprach: A vessel, in rder t get a laned transpnder, has t prve with dcuments that the vessels in questin travel n the Hungarian Danube n a regular basis. Regular travel is defined n ne hand as the vessel entered Hungary at the rkm 1811 and/r 1433 at least 10 times a year. On the ther hand the vessel has t be perated n the Hungarian Danube-stretch (between rkm 1811 and 1433). Vessels include the fllwing: crafts f length f 20 metres r mre navigating n fairways with RIS services. The transpnder will remain the prperty f the RIS prvider and will be made available t the user fr a perid f three years subject t retentin f a security depsit. The user can return the transpnder t the RIS prvider at any time befre the expiratin f the lan perid withut having t state any reasns. The RIS prvider will be entitled t terminate the cntractual relatinship at any time fr imprtant reasn and demand that the transpnder be returned. When the agreed lan perid expires the User may keep the transpnder against a tken payment and assumptin f the bligatin t dispse the Transpnder. It will be necessary t apply fr an MMSI number frm the cmpetent natinal telecmmunicatins authrity fr the AIS transpnder. The MMSI number must be issued befre the transpnder can be installed n bard the vessel, as it may nt be activated therwise. The AIS transpnder needs a pwer supply f 24V DC and is directly cnnected t the electricity netwrk n bard. Furthermre a VHF antenna and a GPS antenna have t be cnnected t the transpnder. If the vessel is already prvided with a cmputer and a prper ECDIS Viewer Sftware the transpnder can be cnnected t it. The transpnder can be installed nly by the RIS prvider r a cmpany recmmended by the RIS prvider at the User's request, which will state the MMSI number, and after the receipt f the agreed security depsit at an installatin site n the Hungarian Danube. The maintenance f the transpnder can exclusively be executed by the RIS prvider r a cmpany recmmended by the RIS prvider. Since fr these types f equipment the manufacturers generally furnish ne year guarantee, and the prgram lasts fr 3 years, it is advised t clarify the questins abut the guarantee and warranty in the framewrk f the receivable public prcurement prcedure and t infrm the Users prperly abut it. It will be prhibited fr the User t install r uninstall the transpnder r t make any changes f r t it. If the transpnder has t be uninstalled the RIS prvider has t be prvably infrmed theref. The user will be bliged t turn n the transpnder during cruises n the Hungarian Danube as well as when standing in prts r at shre statins and it is prhibited fr the User t change the fllwing data, which has been prgrammed in the curse f installatin, and review the same n a regular basis (MMSI Number, ENI Number, Call sign, Name f vessel, Type f vessel, Dimensins). In the framewrk f the future prgrams and prjects the acquisitin f 300 pieces f transpnder is recmmended. Cntinuus crdinatin with partner institutins frm the Danube Regin is f utmst imprtance.

58 5.2 SWP 2.1 Pilt Develpment and Implementatin in Slvakia Respnsible Member State: Slvakia Main bjectives f SWP 2.1 in Slvakia The main bjective f SWP 2.1 in Slvakia was t prepare the technical slutin in Slvakia and t set up the electrnic ship reprting pilt infrastructure in line with natinal and internatinal requirements. The setting up f the pilt infrastructure and the pilt implementatin cvered fllwing issues: System specificatin in line with the electrnic ship reprting in inland navigatin standard and RIS directive 2005/44/EC regarding the vyage and carg reprting (incl. requirements, use cases based n the natinal and internatinal requirements) Design and develpment (incl. data mdel, prttyping and develpment based n the system specificatin) Mnitring f the pilt implementatin and testing Pilt deplyment (incl. integratin f users by means f the prper authenticatin and authrisatin mechanism) Legal requirements Based n the natinal legislatin the vessels sailing n the Slvak stretch f the Danube (class VIb frm rkm 1880,2-1867,0 and class VII frm rkm 1867,0 t 1780,2) are bliged t reprt at captaincies prviding vyage and carg data (Decree f the MDPT SR n the Rules cncerning safety f vessel peratin n the inland waterways in the Slvak Republic). Since the new amendment f the natinal legislatin the skipper r fleet manager submits the reprts frm the vessel abut the vessel, vessel cmbinatin, carg, crew and passengers. These reprts are prvided in electrnic frm and shall be transmitted t the cmpetent authrities f the neighburing state (see the Act N. 179/2008 Cll. as amending the Act N. 338/2000 Cll. n Inland Navigatin, which transpses the RIS Directive 2005/44/EC). RIS Directive 2005/44/EC defines requirement t set up RIS in the member states, i.e. prvide electrnic reprting infrastructure able t receive electrnic ship reprts f the required data frm ship and transmit them t the cmpetent authrities f the neighburing state, and this befre arrival f the vessel at the brder. Within the prject IRIS Eurpe implementatin fllwing regulatins (adpted r in adptin prcess) are addressed: Electrnic ship reprting (technical guidelines are under adptin prcess) Directive 2006/87/EC laying dwn technical requirements fr inland waterway vessels regarding the use f the Minimal hull data set Cmmissin regulatin N. 415/2007 cncerning the technical specificatins fr vessel tracking and tracing systems Cmpnents and functinalities f the electrnic ship reprting infrastructure in Slvakia Design and develpment has been carried ut based n the system specificatin, functinal and nnfunctinal requirements elabrated during the system specificatin phase taking int accunt the respective standard fr electrnic ship reprting (see previus general chapter n WP2). The fcus was n pilt implementatin and testing f the vyage and carg related data (ERINOT message) and the apprpriate respnse (ERIRSP). The fllwing main functinalities f the electrnic ship reprting are cvered by the Slvak pilt implementatin: Generate, mdify and submit electrnic reprts making use f natinal web based interface (natinal infrastructure) This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 58 f 188

All electrnic reprts (generated, received, prcessed) are stred in the relatinal database (PstgreSQL database system). Interface t the BICS applicatin: BICS applicatin is a third party sftware, which enables users t generate, mdify and send the ERI messages (incl. vyage and carg message ERINOT) t a receiving system in the EDIFACT frmat. BICS applicatin is already used by many IWT stakehlders, thus an interface t ensure cmmunicatin with this applicatin was required. BICS interface enables the BICS users t send messages (ERINOT) t the Slvak natinal reprting system (Slvak RIS Centre). T ensure the receiving f messages generated by BICS and sending messages t the BICS users the fllwing cmpnents were set up: Mail server prviding the functinality The natinal mail server is available n tw failver servers ensuring the system backup and availability. The SMTP-mail server receives messages. After the message is received crrectly, the message is stred n the server and after a cnfigurable time the next prcess picks up the message fr further prcessing. In rder t ensure the cmmunicatin the prt 465 was pened. This prt is used fr the secure cmmunicatin between the BICS applicatin and the RIS centre. SMTP server uses a client's credentials, in particular user name and passwrd (fr authenticatin and authrisatin) t determine whether it is eligible t relay . The dedicated mailbx is regularly checked fr new messages. The new message is withdrawn, specified parameters are checked and the frmat is verified, message cnverted and stred in in the database tables. If user requests the acknwledgement, the ERIRSP message in XML frmat is sent t the EDI mailbx (RWS mail server) r ther mailbx f the sender f the message. Cnversin mdule fr messages in EDIFACT frmat t XML frmat Having received the message frm BICS, checked the parameters and frmat, the cnversin frm the EDIFACT frmat (riginal frmat f messages frm BICS) t XML frmat (frmat used in the natinal pilt implementatin) making use f cnversin mdule (Symphnia envirnment with the message mapper) is dne and the data is stred. Web based interface: The web based interface prvides all necessary functins fr authrised users t interact with the system. Web-based user interface accepts input and prvides utput by generating web pages which This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 59 f 188

60 are transmitted via the Internet and viewed by the user using a web brwser prgram. The Slvak pilt implementatin utilizes Java t prvide real-time cntrl in a separate prgram. Graphical user interface has been prpsed t cmply with requirements f the human-machine interface. Users have restricted access t implemented functins, depending n their rle and assigned access rights. The web based interface prvides, next t thers, specific functins enabling authrised users t manually enter vyage and carg related data int the system and t receive / retrieve this data frm the system. Only the user in the rle Fleet peratr is allwed t create / mdify / cancel the vyage and carg related message (ERINOT). Fleet peratrs can create the vyage and carg related message (ERINOT) when fllwing prerequisites are fulfilled: The User is registered in the SlvRIS system. The administratr registers the user in the system and prvides the user necessary UserId = SenderId and ther credentials. The Vessel fr which the ERI reprt is generated is available in the Vessel Index (register f all vessels f cuntries participating in RIS data exchange) and has ENI / IMO number. First reprting pint fr the respective vyage and the receiving system is SlvRIS system. The user in the rle Fleet peratr can carry ut fllwing peratins with regard t the electrnic ship reprting: View wn vessels with hull details (minimal hull data set) Management f access rights fr third parties t vessel view data Management f electrnic ship reprts, incl. edit, publish (new), mdify (update already published), cancel electrnic reprts View wn electrnic ship reprts Search fr the data (based n search criteria defined fr internatinal data exchange) Figure 19: Screenshts frm the web interface fr electrnic ship reprts Mnitring f the pilt implementatin and testing In the curse f the implementatin f the natinal electrnic ship reprting the clarificatin runds with the develpment team, internatinal standardisatin expert grups and natinal cmpetent authrity were carried ut. The imprtant clarificatin with regard t the ERINOT and ERIRSP message and the graphical user interface tk place within the BICS / ERI wrkshp. The implementatin was verified by series f tests. Based n the system specificatin, in particular requirements and the use cases, a set f test cases has been prepared fr testing the implementatin f natinal electrnic reprting infrastructure. Tests have been executed by internal cnsultant and This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 60 f 188

61 testers. The errr tickets, bugs and change requests were administered and maintained within the web-based bugtracking system called Mantis. Furthermre, the tests cvering the internatinal RIS data exchange have been defined and executed n tw intercnnectin wrkshps (fr details see chapter 5.10). The tests prved the functinalities f the system as defined within the system specificatin and requirements analysis Pilt deplyment The electrnic ship reprting infrastructure is deplyed n tw servers, which perate in failver cluster (high availability cluster), lcated in the Slvak Natinal RIS Centre in the premises f the State Navigatin Administratin. High availability clustering (failver cluster) remedies unavailability f system due t failure f system cmpnent by detecting hardware/sftware faults, and immediately restarting the applicatin n anther system withut requiring administrative interventin. This installatin serves as the pilt envirnment. Anther installatin fr purpses f new develpments and training f the users (mainly administratrs and ther users appinted by the State Navigatin Administratin, administering the system fr electrnic reprting and the internatinal data exchange) is installed n servers lcated in the premises f the implementing rganisatin. Integratin f users was dne by implementing the rle and their access rights mechanism, as well as the mdern authenticatin / authrisatin mechanisms. This includes mainly Skippers / Fleet Managers prviding the electrnic reprts and gvernmental stakehlders, in particular authrities allwed t receive the electrnic reprts.

62 5.3 SWP 2.2 Pilt Develpment and Implementatin in Hungary Respnsible Member State: Hungary The main bjective f this SWP was t prvide the technical fundatin in terms f infrastructure and services fr efficient electrnic reprting in Hungary accrding t the RIS Standard fr electrnic ship reprting in inland navigatin (versin adpted by the RIS Cmmittee), fulfilling the requirements ut f the RIS Directive 2005/44/EC with respect t vyage and carg reprting in inland navigatin. The pilt electrnic reprting infrastructure is able t receive, prcess, transmit, stre and archive infrmatin abut vyages, carg (e.g. dangerus, hazardus fr envirnment, nn-dangerus), bunded stres, persns n bard (crew and passenger), waste dispsal and statistics. The primary rle f the IRIS Eurpe System, frm functinality aspect, is that it shuld be a nde within the netwrk f natinal RIS Centres. As such, IRIS Eurpe System has t feed this internatinal netwrk with lcal data taken frm Hungarian systems abut vessels, their missins, and their traces, while als serving Hungarian users with similar data retrieved frm RIS Centres f ther cuntries. The verview f the Hungarian IRIS Eurpe System is as fllws: Figure 20: Overview f Hungarian IRIS Eurpe System One f the system s main cmpnents is the Electrnic Reprting Infrastructure (ERI) applicatin. The primary purpse f it is t serve as strage fr ERI Reprts. Sme f stred ERI Reprts are created by natinal users int this ERI Applicatin, thers are received as ERI Messages frm freign RIS Centres r BICS. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 62 f 188

63 The functins f ERI Applicatin are categrized as fllwing: It handles incming ERI Messages (frm ther RIS Centres and BICS users) and receipts, accrding t relevant specificatins. Prvides ERI Editr functins fr natinal users with rles enabling them t be authrs f ERI Reprts. ERI Reprt management functins: frce sending ERI Messages, recipient list manipulatin, interface t manual acknwledge by ERIRSP creatin. In case f ERI Events, sends ERI Messages t recipients f ERI Reprts. ERI reprt query When an ERI Reprt is queried, the user wh queries is added t Recipient table (if nt yet), and is cnnected t ERI Reprt via Distributin List. Handling incming ERI Messages and ERIRSP receipts Incming ERI Messages can be received frm BICS via the Mail Server and the EDIFACT/XML cnverter, r frm the Data Gateway. (Nte: this is different frm ERI Editr functins, where users are cnnected t the ERI Applicatin in rder t wrk with their ERI Reprts.) Additinally, if the abve described handling f the ERI Message is successful, a Receipt by this ERI Applicatin will be created (when required), and the crrespnding ERIRSP receipt will be sent t the rigin f the ERI Message. The ERIRSP will be sent t the directin frm where the ERI Message had been received (BICS r Data Gateway). Incming ERIRSP receipts are stred as Receipt entries, cnnecting Histry entries t thse f Recipients. Validatin Bth fr incming ERI Messages and ERI Editr functins, the received XML cntent is validated befre further prcessing. ERI Editr API The ERI Applicatin prvides an ERI Editr API fr the Web Frnt-End (tunnelled via Data Gateway). This API gives the pssibility fr the users t create/edit/publish draft ERINOT reprts, and update/cancel existing published nes. The pilt ERI infrastructure develped in the prject is cnnected t the Natinal Transprt Authrity s (NTA) HIR system as NTA the respnsible rganizatin fr cntrlling dangerus carg transprt n the Hungarian sectin f the Danube.

The electrnic reprting infrastructure must be able t receive, prcess, transmit, stre and archive infrmatin abut vyages, carg (e.g. dangerus, hazardus fr envirnment, nn-dangerus), number f persns n bard, statistics. The lcks especially invlved in the pilt are the: The main lcks clse t the Belgian brder in the nrth f France n the Leie /Deule river; lck f Quesny sur Deule n the Scheldt, lck f Fresnes sur Escaut The first lck n the French Msel river The lck f Apach very clse t Luxemburg in frnt f the lck f Statbredimus managed by the German applicatin MIB. Technically the applicatin was realised t allw all the lcks f the netwrk t be parameterized that t say able t be intercnnected with any ther systems. The specific bjectives f this SWP were: Requirement analysis fr electrnic reprting in inland navigatin in France Definitin f reprting prcedures in France System specificatin fr electrnic reprting in France Electrnic reprting pilt service specificatin Implementatin f electrnic reprting infrastructure at the French RIS-Centre Integratin f cmmercial stakehlders in France (mainly stakehlders prviding reprts) Testing f electrnic reprting system in France Test and validatin f electrnic reprting pilt services in France Ship reprting segment, shre reprting segment: 1. Generate all relevant electrnic reprts 2. Transmit the relevant electrnic reprts frm /Shre t the Operatr Segment (natinal RIS centre) 3. Allw frwarding f data n a vyage per vyage basis The ship segment needs t be taken int accunt as well as pssible by the infrastructure peratr, frm the traffic management pint f view. The ship segment must reprt abut the vyages he realises t pay the taxes t VNF. In the experimentatin the Shre segment sends the electrnics reprts via BICS as fleet peratr fr the vessels (ship reprting). The Shre segment must reprt abut the vyages he realises t pay the taxes t VNF. Authrity segment: 1. Receive all relevant electrnic reprts in inland navigatin frm peratr segment Operatr segment: 1.

Prvide relevant electrnic reprts t statistics authrity The peratr Segment has t ensure a gd traffic management, he must als invice the fleet peratrs and ships fr all the vyages they are ding n the netwrk Descriptin f the prcesses Existing electrnic Reprting prcedure at VNF, use f BICS sftware Cncerning Electrnic reprting frm fleet peratr, CEMEX and CFT Cmpanies were the 2 mains fleet peratrs wh decided t make electrnic reprting via BICS applicatin t exchange infrmatin with VNF abut all the transprts they are perating. As described belw, they prvide the electrnic reprts fr the ships they wn. The exchange f messages is dne via a secure mdem cnnexin, ERINOT messages are used, send t the BICS Server in Netherlands and re dispatched t VNF. Based n these declaratins, VNF is invicing the Transprt taxes. One f the main benefits f these actins is the significant reductin f administrative paper prcedures, replaced by autmatic treatments f this kind f infrmatin. 10% f the traffic f the Seine River is nw declared by this way Implementatin f an Interface n the Msel River t annunce vessel arriving frm each cuntry t the ther cuntry in the lck keeper sftware Implementing an interface between the lck keeper sftware and the MIB sftware frm Germany in rder t test the pssibility fr reprting abut vessels arrivals frm the neighburing perimeter was the basic intercnnectin system realised. The neighburing applicatin is declaring the vessel arrival thrugh the brder (cuntry brder r applicatin brder) via an exchange f traffic data infrmatin. The first implementatin f the interface is an interface between Germany and France n the Msel River. Discussin abut the pssibilities f data exchange frm a legal pint f view between these cuntries were dne at the Msel cmmissin during September 2008 Event: Vessel arrival Prcess fr emissin f an Erint message (V0.6) t German Mib system Lck s keeper sftware Interface Emissin Message ERINOT German Server MIB/MOVES Vessel annunced in germany Transmissin f the vessel declaratin Lck s keeper declares the passage Web applicatin Int the lck server Receives the infrmatin VNF2000 SFTP cnnexin Brder Infrmatin transmitted Lck keeper MIB/MOVES Figure 25: Sending f ERINOT This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 70 f 188

On the ther side (Germany) when a vessel travels t Germany, the lck keeper sftware calls the web service f the applicatin and gives it all the necessary infrmatin t build an ERINOT message. Then the interface sends the message via SFTP t German side. The next step is t use this interface t initiate a cmmunicatin with sea prts f Dunkerque and le Havre, and the CNR (Cmmissin Natinal du Rhne) which manage traffic n the Rhne river, and is cnnected t VNF waterway netwrk via the Sane river. T be able t realise such cmmunicatins, the interface allws the management f different kind f cmmunicatin mde, taking in accunt different versins f the ERINOT message. The ERINOT message can be generated in: Versin 0.6 Versin 1.2 (the latest ne) These tw evlutins ffer the interface t participate t the experimentatin with Belgium and Netherlands, t perfrm tests abut internatinal data exchanges, which was demnstrated n the 22. Octber 2008 in Brussels at the IRIS Eurpe Seminar Implementatin f internatinal data exchange with Belgium and Netherlands As explained in the previus chapter, this interface was the basis used fr the internatinal data exchange in the experimentatin with Belgium and Netherlands cncerning electrnic reprting with ERINOT messages. Tw different kinds f exchanges were realised: ERI messages are exchanged in ERINOT v1.2. Psitin messages are sent t Flanders and Netherlands. All emitted messages were centralised in the ERINOT server and the psitin server. Cncerning the psitin, it is nt real time psitin infrmatin, because AIS system wasn t in place at this perid. The psitin cmes frm each lck crssed; the estimated time f arrival is updated fr the next passage pints. That was als demnstrated during the pilt implementatin f crss brder exchange with Belgium and Netherlands. This new functin was develped and integrated in the lck keeper sftware. A web service develped by Netherlands was called in ur applicatin when the vessel in directin f Belgium arrived at the tw lcks: Lck f Quesny sur Dêule Lck f Fresnes sur Escaut This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 71 f 188

72 When the psitin infrmatin is sent t the psitin server this vessel appears n the map, and the ERINOT message assciated t the vessel culd als be visualized, when yu select the vessel n the map. The receptin f psitin infrmatin frm the ther cuntries in VNF Infrmatin system wasn t implemented Cnclusins and future steps The interface t exchange electrnic reprting in an internatinal cntext will ffer all the partners new tls t manage the traffic and will be very helpful, in the cntext f crridr management f the waterways. T manage waterways by crridr, the user necessary needs a lt f effrt n the cmmunicatin aspects between all the stakehlders invlved in it. In an internatinal crridr, the standardisatin f all the exchanges is mandatry and the use f ERINOT standard messages was the basic f these exchanges. If fcussing nw n the jb f the lck keepers, it can be bserved that fr the French part, such an interface is prviding him a facilitatin f the jb cncerning traffic management. The interface furnish him the annuncement f the vessel, instead f entering all the data, that prcedure limits the errrs due t manual data entry at first, at secnd, in summer perid, especially n the Msel river, the lck keeper has a lt f difficulties t perate the lck and in parallel t enter all the data, because f the high number f vessels at the lcks. In summer a lt f pleasure craft are navigating n the Msel River. The next steps f this cmmunicatin are the discussin engaged with seaprts f Le Havre and Dunkerque each f them are very interested in the annuncement f inland vessels which are arriving by electrnic reprting We are engage with Dunkerque t annunce al the vessels that will arrive by the Mardyck Lck s several meeting abut the way f exchange the frmat (ERINOT) used. On the ther side, the prt f Dunkerque will send t VNF, ERINOT messages when vessels are leaving the prt t enter int inland navigatin. The same prcess is implemented n the Seine River at the lck f Amfreville (Last inland lck) fr all the vessels in directin f Le Havre. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 72 f 188

73 5.6 SWP 2.6 Hull Database Specificatin and Develpment in Slvakia Respnsible Member State: Slvakia Main bjectives f SWP 2.6 in Slvakia The main bjective f SWP 2.6 in Slvakia was t prepare a technical slutin and t set up a hull data management pilt infrastructure in line with natinal and internatinal requirements, invlving management f vessel certificatin data prvided by the cmpetent technical certificatin authrity and management f minimal hull data set by the RIS prvider in Slvakia. The setting up f the pilt infrastructure and the pilt implementatin cvered fllwing issues: System specificatin fr the hull data management pilt infrastructure (incl. requirements, use cases based n the natinal and internatinal requirements - accrding t the Directive 2006/87/EC and its amendment 2006/137/EC) Design and develpment (incl. data mdel, prttyping and develpment based n the system specificatin) Mnitring f the pilt implementatin and testing Pilt deplyment (including the integratin f the stakehlders: State navigatin administratin as the Technical Certificatin Authrity and the Slvak RIS Prvider) Legal requirements The State Navigatin Administratin (SPS) is a gvernmental authrity respnsible fr technical certificatin f inland navigatin vessels. Central register f vessels is a publicly available list f vessels kept by the State Navigatin Administratin. Befre putting the vessel int peratin it must be measured and this is dne by SPS, t Cmpnents and functinalities f hull data management infrastructure in Slvakia T vercme technical prblems caused by the use f ld-fashined central register f vessels (Sybase data system running as standalne applicatin unable t share data amng wrkstatins) and t fulfil legislative requirements, the new applicatin fr registering f vessels was develped. The applicatin is based n the requirements derived frm the existing slutin, requirements defined by the State Navigatin Administratin and additinal arising frm the Directive 2006/87/EC laying dwn technical requirements fr inland waterway vessels. The fllwing main functinalities f the hull data management infrastructure are cvered by the Slvak pilt implementatin: Figure 27: Graphical user interface fr the natinal hull register create, mdify, display This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 73 f 188

The implementatin was verified by series f tests. Based n the defined use cases, a set f test cases has been prepared fr testing the implementatin f natinal electrnic reprting infrastructure. Tests have been executed by internal cnsultant and persns assigned by the State Navigatin Administratin (RIS authrity / RIS prvider). The errr tickets, bugs and change requests were administered and maintained within the web-based bug tracking system called Mantis. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 74 f 188

75 Furthermre, the tests cvering the internatinal RIS data exchange have been defined and executed n tw intercnnectin wrkshps (fr details see chapter 5.10). The tests prved the functinalities f the system as defined within the system specificatin and requirements analysis Pilt deplyment The Hull Data Management Pilt Infrastructure is deplyed in the same way as the electrnic ship reprting infrastructure n tw servers, which perate in failver cluster (high availability cluster), lcated in the Slvak Natinal RIS Centre in the premises f the State Navigatin Administratin. Integratin f users was dne by implementing the rle and their access rights mechanism, as well as the mdern authenticatin / authrisatin mechanisms. Furthermre, the State Navigatin Administratin (Štátna plavebná správa) in Slvakia, as the fficial technical certificatin authrity, was invlved in the specificatin as well as in the detailed tests and acceptance f the system frm the functinal pint f view since the beginning f the prject. The experiences gained within the implementatin f natinal Hull data management pilt infrastructure within IRIS Eurpe cntributed t the elabratin f the system specificatins fr the Eurpean Minimum Hull Data Base as well as t the standardisatin f the Minimum Hull Data Set.

76 5.7 SWP 2.6 Hull Database Specificatin and Develpment in Hungary Respnsible Member State: Hungary In Hungary the hull databases are lcated at the Natinal Transprt Authrity (NTA) as technical certificatin authrity. Due t this fact RSOE has attended the wrking meeting f the Hull Database Expert Grup (ERI sub-grup) tgether with the NTA experts. The tw rganizatins (NTA and RSOE) have jintly created a synchrnizatin mechanism t request the minimum set f hull data f the vessels frm NTA twards the RIS Centre perated by RSOE. The prcesses are in accrdance with the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin. This wrk has been dne in clse c-peratin with the Natinal Transprt Authrity, since the NTA has als been wrking n its cmplex inland navigatin infrmatin system (HIR system) that has several functinalities which will be in permanent cntact with the RIS system (e.g. hull data system, ntices t skippers, ERI system). Based n the cntract signed between the Natinal Transprt Authrity and RSOE the hull data exchange prcess lks like the fllwing: Figure 30: Hull data synchrnizatin prcess The hull data are exchanged by using the Hull_data_v0p8.xsd frmat.

During IRIS Eurpe, it was cncluded that the legal framewrk wuld cnsist f tw elements: The participating member states f IRIS Eurpe identified that a multilateral legal agreement amng the member states is recmmended as basis fr the internatinal data exchange. This s-called Technical and Administrative Agreement fr the internatinal data exchange with regard t River Infrmatin Services, in shrt TAA, can supplement the EU RIS Directive 2005/44/EC especially with relatin t the internatinal data exchange. The adaptatin f the natinal legislatin in rder t enable the rganisatins, which prvide RIS Services, t exchange RIS data with gvernmental RIS users (traffic authrities), lgistical RIS users (e.g. fleet manager) and RIS Centres in ther cuntries. The Technical and Administrative Agreement fr the internatinal data exchange with regard t River Infrmatin Services (TAA) can fulfil the fllwing main requirements: T serve as legal basis fr the data exchange with RIS Centres in ther cuntries, in particular fulfilling the EU Data Prtectin Legislatin, in particular the Directive 95/46/EC n the prtectin f individuals with regard t the prcessing f persnal data and n the free mvement f such data and its amendments T define the data t be exchanged, the parties f the data exchange (cuntries and RIS users, etc) and the measures fr assuring the data privacy and security T define the cst f peratin and the Liability fr natinally generated and exchanged data T define prcedures fr amendments f the TAA (especially new cuntries, new messages, new RIS Users, technical enhancements, in particular amendments f RIS standards) T define the respnsibilities f individual actrs This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 84 f 188

85 T define ther imprtant issues such as time fr the strage f data in case f internatinal data exchange which were identified during the in-depth discussin f the Technical and Administrative Agreement The prcess fr preparatin f the TAA included the fllwing steps: Preparatin f a draft TAA by lawyer n basis f reference agreements fr Electrnic Reprting, DRIS user agreement, ERI Guide, SafeSeaNet, Digital Tachgraph, Crvette traffic data interchange fr rad transprt Fine-tuning after discussins at several IRIS Eurpe Meetings, which included the IRIS Eurpe Steering Cmmittee Meeting, IRIS Eurpe Crdinatin Meetings, special meetings with the Rhine-Seine cuntries, meetings f the Task Frce fr Internatinal Data Exchange Fine-tuning after discussins during the ERI Expert Grup Meetings Fine-tuning after discussins with the lgistical stakehlders, which led t the frmatin f a s-called lgistics task frce and sea-prts Fine-tuning after discussins with the relevant ministries f transprt and natinal data prtectin agencies After the drafting and fine-tuning phase, the TAA was agreed t be authentic in English and French. Furthermre it was identified that nly thse cuntries, which are cnsidered as safe harbur in terms f the EU data prtectin legislatin can jin the TAA. EU Member States and Switzerland are cnsidered as such, fr Cratia, Serbia and the Ukraine, separate agreements will have t be determined, which might have the TAA as cre, but als cnclude the directives with relatin t the EU Data Prtectin Legislatin in additin. The TAA with the fllwing structure and the cntents f the main text (withut the annexes as they were nt finalized at that time) was agreed by the Steering Cmmittee f IRIS Eurpe n : Preamble The Intrductin f RIS The Sets f Data t be exchange Data Exchange Permitted Usage f Data Csts Liability Questins cncerning the Interpretatin and Applicatin Mdificatin f TAA Denunciatin and Ceasure f Effectiveness Accessin by further Parties Administratin f TAA Entry int Frce Annexes 1.

86 charge f inland navigatin in the ministries f transprt t sign the TAA. Afterwards, the TAA will enter int frce by means f sequential signatures f the fllwing cuntries: Austria, Slvakia, Hungary, Rmania and Bulgaria. While several cuntries are in the fficial signature prcess fr the TAA, ther cuntries vlunteered t investigate the TAA in additinal detail and determined additinal needs fr imprvement as precnditin fr their signature. These additinal needs included e.g. the time fr strage f data in case f the internatinal data exchange. Mrever, it was identified that additinal elements need t be included t fulfil additinal requirements f the maritime users as their way f wrking is different. These valuable prpsals fr amendments will be discussed at the beginning f IRIS Eurpe II and will lead t additinal amendments befre the cnclusin f the TAA by ther cuntries. Sme f the cuntries needed an adaptatin f the natinal legislatin as necessary pre-cnditin fr cncluding the TAA. The adaptatin f the natinal legislatin was required in rder t enable the rganisatins, which prvide RIS Services, t exchange RIS data. In Austria, fr instance, several steps f the transpsitin f the EU RIS Directive are relevant fr data exchange. RIS was mentined in the Amendment t the Inland Waterway Transprt Act 9th f June The purpse f RIS is utlined. The Waterway Act was the fundamental restructuring f the Austrian rganisatin f the Federal Administratin f Waterways. In part II f this Act, via dnau was assigned as RIS prvider. In the Amendment f the Navigatin Act 2007 the definitins f e.g. River Infrmatin Services, Ntices t Skippers and Electrnic reprting are transpsed int natinal law and respnsibilities are stated and the legal framewrk fr data strage and distributin, natinal and internatinal data exchange is defined. In summary, the Technical and Administrative Agreement fr internatinal data exchange was ne f the majr achievements f IRIS Eurpe and cnstitute ne imprtant pillar f internatinal data exchange. The further develpment will include the inclusin f Eurpean Services, which are fr instance develped within the FP7 prject PLATINA and data exchange agreements with third cuntries, which are nt cnsidered as safe harbur in terms f the EU Data Prtectin Legislatin RIS Data Exchange Legal Level (Simplified TAA) Respnsible Member States: The Netherlands, Belgium, France The SSR-cuntries (France, Belgium and the Netherlands) are aware that multilateral legal agreements with respect t Internatinal Data Exchange n an Eurpean level are necessary, given the fact that transprt f gds is a glbal prcess with invlvement f many participants (authrities and nn-authrities). The (infrmatin n) transprt f gds is nt limited t ne cuntry r a specific regin especially when lgistic partners are invlved. The internatinal exchange f data between the authrities (Fairway Authrities and Prt Authrities) in the SSR-crridr started in the seventies f the previus century with several studies hw t Exchange Data between the several authrities in Belgium and the Netherlands. In the westersheldearea Exchange f Data between the Netherlands and Belgium was established and peratinal in the early eighties. In 1994 Exchange f Data between Germany and The Netherlands was established. Bth appraches are still peratinal and wrking accrding the needs f the peratrs. Based n the peratinal experience the authrities have develped and imprved these systems accrdingly t new technlgical develpments, the changing needs f the authrities and legal changes f the last 25 years. The results f these develpments are several cncepts in exchange different types f data which are necessary t ensure the availability f detailed infrmatin fr peratrs and ther invlved authrities, t fulfil their bligatins such as waterway management, calamity abatement. Due t the time needed fr the legal validatins and due the differences in existing technical slutins fr data exchange, it was nt pssible t frmalize the TAA within the IRIS Eurpe prject within the SSR-crridr. Fr this reasn the SSR-cuntries have established an intermediate agreement based n natural understanding in rder t authrize the exchange f data between the authrities and prvide data t lgistic partners n a limited scale, this natural understanding is described in a letter with the wrking name Simplified TAA.

In rder t fllw a crdinated apprach in specifying and implementing the internatinal data exchange, a task frce was set up, the s-called RIS Data Exchange Task Frce (detailed infrmatin t this task frce is prvided in chapter 5 Intrductin t WP 2). When the task frce was set up, detailed terms f references were specified and agreed in rder t clearly define the tasks and rights f this task frce. The main gal f this task frce was t elabrate and maintain detailed technical and functinal specificatins fr the internatinal exchange f RIS data. The participants f the technical RIS data exchange task frce met apprximately in a 2 mnths interval t present and discuss their input t the R2D2 respective necessary updates and change requests t the existing dcumentatin. The participants frm the individual cuntries mainly represented the implementing rganisatins cnsidering the technical character f the task frce. Furthermre the there was a strng invlvement f the natinal RIS prviders and RIS authrities f the implementing cuntries. During the elabratin f the R2D2 it was sn identified that there are different system architectures in the invlved regins. Whereas in the Danube regin the internatinal exchange f RIS data is set up in a full distributed architecture (n centralised cmpnents), in the Seine-Scheldt-Rhine regin the existing infrastructure amng the Netherlands, Belgium and France is implemented in a partly centralised architecture. Therefre a majr issue within the specificatin and implementatin f the internatinal exchange f RIS data was the intercnnectin f the systems amng the different architectures Results All necessary specificatins were summarised under the term RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin that cnsists f the fllwing dcuments: Technical System Cncept (latest versin: v2.5) Natinal Access Rights Matrices (latest versin: v1.01) RIS Data Exchange Prcess Descriptin (latest versin: v1.3) RIS Data Exchange XML Messaging Reference Guide (latest versin: v1.3) Fr the pilt implementatins in IRIS Eurpe it was agreed that the XML Scheme Definitin (XSD) in its versin 0.3 is leading, and that the dcumentatin will be updated after gaining experiences frm the pilt implementatins. RIS_v0.3.xsd makes use f the fllwing additinal messages: ERINOT 1.2c.xsd, ERIRSP 1.2c.xsd, Hull_Data_v0.8.xsd. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 87 f 188

It allws t verify the ther's identity and secures the cnnectin by encrypting the data exchanged between the applicatins Every Data Gateway prvides a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) which handles the certificates in the internatinal RIS data exchange Authrisatin and authenticatin: There are users, rles and clients in the cncept f Data Gateway Every user is a persn r system that needs t be allcated t ne r mre defined user rles The user is identified by the user-id, which is unique within the Data Gateway The user rle is mapped t a set f access privileges that are defined in detail in the Natinal Access Rights Matrices Natinal Access Rights Matrices: Fr the definitin f the access rights n data field level, a rle based mechanism is used, whereas the user rle f a user is assigned by the RIS prvider. Therefre user rles were uniquely defined n basis f the existing definitins ut f the EU Research Prject COMPRIS. In rder t cnsider the particularities f natinal legislatin, the related access rights fr each rle are defined n data field level within the natinal Access Rights Matrix f each participating cuntry individually. The cnsidered data fields fr the mentined RIS data are based n the existing technical regulatins f the Eurpean Cmmissin in the field f RIS. The fllwing figure illustrates the layut f the Access Rights Matrix: Figure 35: Exemplary layut f the rles / access rights tables This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 89 f 188

90 By the fact that the access rights are smetimes depending n pre-defined circumstances (as defined in the legend f the matrix, e.g. access just when data wner permits), the access rights can in additin be based n the pre-defined circumstances (access rules): Figure 36: Additinal rules applicable fr the internatinal data exchange The prcesses regarding the access rights check are described in detail within the RIS Data Exchange Prcess Descriptin.

During the pilt implementatin and during the tests several necessary amendments were identified and brught int the technical RIS data exchange task frce fr discussin and agreement. Cnsequently several update f the R2D2 were made in the curse f the pilt implementatin and testing f the natinal infrastructures. The several changes f parts f the R2D2 as well as f the implemented XML/XSD messages resulted in minr cnflicts within the specificatins and partly differences between the specificatins and the implemented XML/XSD messages as well as the implemented prcesses. Therefre an amendment f the R2D2 is necessary based n all changes and the finally implemented messages, prcesses, etc. The R2D2 is the IRIS Eurpe prject standard fr the internatinal exchange f RIS data. It is f utmst imprtance t guarantee the further maintenance f this standard and t bring it n a Eurpean level. Therefre the IRIS Eurpe Awareness Paper n internatinal data exchange was elabrated and agreed within IRIS Eurpe. It recmmends several future steps twards the frmalisatin and further enhancement f the prject standard, amng them t advise the IRIS Eurpe Steering Cmmittee t address the Eurpean Cmmissin and recmmend them t Adpt the prject standard n internatinal data exchange, Amend the prject standard where necessary and Initiate the frmalisatin and implementatin f the standard, Enhance and extend the standard n the basis f future related prjects and experiences with the standard and Organise the maintenance f the standard n internatinal data exchange This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 93 f 188

94 5.14 RIS Data Exchange Specificatin Technical level (RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin reginal particularities SSR) Respnsible Member State: The Netherlands Intrductin The internatinal exchange f data between the authrities (Fairway Authrities and Prt Authrities) in the SSR-crridr started in the Seventies f the previus century with several studies hw t exchange data between the several authrities in Belgium and the Netherlands. In the Western Scheldt area Exchange f Data between the Netherlands and Belgium was established and peratinal in the early Eighties. In 1994 Exchange f Data between Germany and The Netherlands was established. Bth appraches are still peratinal and wrking accrding the needs f the peratrs. Based n the peratinal experience the authrities have develped and imprved these systems accrdingly t technical develpments, the needs f the authrities and legal changes f the last 25 years. The results f these develpments are several cncepts which exchange all kind f the data which are necessary t ensure the availability f detailed infrmatin fr peratrs and ther invlved authrities, t fulfil their bligatins such as waterway management, calamity abatement. During the previus prjects such as INDRIS and COMPRIS, als the prviding f data t lgistics stakehlders has been established. Fr this purpse the systems f the fairway authrities prvide the necessary infrmatin t a lgistic platfrm. This platfrm is n limited scale accessible by lgistic rganizatins, in rder t gain mre practical experience several pilts are being and will be set-up in clse cperatin with Eurpean and natinal branch rganizatins. These pilts can result in adjustments in the dcumentatins and technical appraches. At this mment data t be exchanged are categrized as fllws: 1. Vyage and carg related data 2. Psitin data 3. Hull data The fllwing data categries are subject fr internatinal exchange in the future: 1. Water level infrmatin 2. Vyage plan-infrmatin 3. VTS-images Generic verview f the SSR - System Gegraphically the related fairways in The Netherlands, Belgium and France are gathered in the Seine - Scheldt - Rhine crridr. All vessels passing this crridr are mnitred by their lcal Vessel Traffic Management Systems (e.g. IVS90, MCCD, GINA, MIB, etc.). When a skipper starts his vyage he sends an electrnic annuncement t the cmpetent authrity. This annuncement is realised by creating a message cnsisting f vyage, carg and persnal related data using fr instance an nbard applicatin like BICS. Once the annuncement is received by the cmpetent authrity, the VTMS will prcess the annuncement and display the relevant infrmatin t the RIS-peratr. All relevant data will be stred at the centralised lcatin by using web-services. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 94 f 188

95 Figure 41: Architecture f the SSR system The VTM-Systems mnitr all the traffic within their wn VTS-area, in case a vessel crsses a brder, the next VTMS will be ntified in advance. The decisin made t send such a ntificatin depends n a s called trigger pints assigned t the fairway. These pints are virtual markers knwn by the lcal system. During the vyage als the psitin f the vessels will be stred n the centralised platfrm. The psitins f the vessels are the last knw psitin r a calculated psitin f a vessel. All the data can be retrieved frm centralised platfrm by using web-services given a specific user and its crrespnding authrisatin level Currently the fllwing SRR-partners are using the centralised pilt services: Organizatin System Area Area Natinality MET Gina system Walln area Belgium Nv De Scheepvaart MCCD Flanders Belgium Waterwegen en Zeekanaal nv IBIS/MCCD Flanders Belgium Prt f Brussels Brussels Brussels Belgium Rijkswaterstaat IVS90 The Netherlands The Netherlands VNF Lckkeeper France France French Table 21: Organisatins invlved in exchanging centralised data in the SSR crridr Overview f the cmpnents Hull reference data Based n the functinal specificatins regarding the Eurpean Hull database a partial implementatin is realised.

96 The implementatin is based n the 1.1 XSD which is an enhanced versin f the XSD (versin 0.8) as agreed within IRIS Eurpe. T be able t exchange hull data with the IRIS partners an update and dwngrade is implemented within in the RIS layer. The hull database as implemented is a web service (Dcstyle) and can prcess request messages directly r by a message received frm partners via the IRIS Eurpe Layer and RIS layer (ntificatin data fr hull data and request/respnse Psitin data In sme cases the psitin f a vessel during its vyage must be available in rder t have cmplete verview in rder t prvide 1. Strategic traffic data 2. Traffic management 3. Lgistic data t fairway authrities and entitled third parties. The cllectin f vessel psitins is made available by using several data surces like: AIP (based n GPRS and GPS data) AIS Radar Vessel related infrmatin systems The Psitin Server prvides a service fr pushing and requesting strategic psitin data in a standardized way. Depending n the level f authrisatin any applicatin can access the Psitin server by making several types f requests. When nt in the cverage range f the abve stated shre based systems (this will be the mst cmmn situatin) psitin data can be prvided by ther systems (here defined as external systems). Tw types f external systems can be identified: 1. Shre based systems such as : Administrative systems (IVS, MIB etc) Lck planning applicatins Terminal applicatins 2. Ship based systems such as : Vyage planner ECDIS viewer Regarding the IRIS prject the psitin server cntains psitin infrmatin f the vessel sailing the cuntries as mentined abve. The infrmatin can be retrieved frm the psitin server is based web server requests. The types f requests supprted are: Psitin f vessels within a certain area Psitin f a vessel by its vessel id Psitin f a vessel/ vessels by its destinatin ERINOT server Althugh the cmpetent authrity receives a ntificatin message (ERINOT 1.2 message) in case f crss brder activity, sme authrities and lgistic parties want t have this infrmatin available at an early stage, s that planning activities can take place (e.g. lck planning, terminal planning, berth planning). The ERINOT server supprts these activities using a central strage lcatin which can be accessed by multiple authrities. The data stred can be split up in three main categries: 1. Vyage data 2.

97 5.15 RIS Data Exchange Implementatin Technical level in Slvakia Respnsible Member State: Slvakia Main bjectives f SWP 1.4, 2.5 and 2.7 in Slvakia The main bjective f SWP 1.4, 2.5 and 2.7 in Slvakia was t prepare the technical slutin and t set up the pilt infrastructure fr natinal and internatinal RIS data exchange in Slvakia. The setting up f the pilt infrastructure and the pilt implementatin cvered fllwing issues: System specificatin fr the hull data management pilt infrastructure (incl. requirements, use cases based n the natinal and internatinal) fr details see chapter 5.13 Design and develpment (incl. data mdel, prttyping and develpment based n the system specificatin) and intercnnectin t ther systems Mnitring f the pilt implementatin and testing Pilt deplyment (including the integratin f the stakehlders by means f the prper authenticatin and authrisatin mechanism) Legal requirements In rder t enable RIS data prcessing and exchange, the RIS Directive 2005/44/EC was transpsed int the natinal legislatin in the Act N. 179/2008 Cll. as amending the Act N. 338/2000 Cll. n Inland Navigatin, in which the definitins f River infrmatin services, Ntices t Skippers, Electrnic reprting are transpsed and respnsibilities are assigned and the legal framewrk fr data cllectin, strage and distributin are prvided. Further legal requirements, in particular thse relating t the internatinal legislatin, are described in general chapters f the WP1 and W Architecture, cmpnents and implemented functinalities Slvakia fully supprts the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin (R2D2) as defined within the IRIS Eurpe Task Frce n the Internatinal RIS Data Exchange. Internatinal RIS Data Exchange was defined within the Task Frce fr RIS Data Exchange, in which the Slvak beneficiary was represented by cmpany KIOS s.r.. This way Slvakia actively cntributed t the develpment f the R2D2, incl. natinal definitin f the access rights r e.g. encding guides fr the ERINOT and ERIRSP messages. The special fcus f R2D2 lies in descriptin f prcesses, definitin f messages, technical cncept (versin 2.5 frm , incl. additinally specificatin f XPath fr filtering), and access rights matrix as the base fr the rles based access cntrl mechanism (fr details see the chapter 5.13 RIS Data Exchange Specificatin Technical level (RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin cmmn Eurpean apprach)). Prcesses (cases defined fr internatinal data exchange) The prcesses as elabrated within R2D2 are implemented in the RIS data exchange pilt infrastructure in Slvakia as part f the business lgic f the RIS Gateway. RIS Gateway represents the interfaces t the utside wrld. Messages The system related message, ntificatin and request/respnse messages are implemented as defined in R2D2. This means the ntificatin f the psitin related data (tracking and tracing system), vyage and carg related data (ERINOT message ut f the Electrnic Reprting Infrastructure) and hull related data (Hull Data Management Infrastructure). Furthermre, the psitin related, vyage and carg related data as well as hull data can be requested by users based n the agreed rles and their access rights.

The pssible updates f the access rights depend n changes in natinal legislatins, r necessary imprvements based n the experience frm the real life peratin. The natinal pilt implementatin f the RIS Data Exchange Gateway and its relevant mdules (infrastructure) cnsiders natinal specifics and requirements and cmplies with the internatinal technical cncept and agreed prcesses (R2D2 specificatin). The natinal pilt implementatin emplys the three tier client server architecture. All functins are accessible n the presentatin tier via thin client making use traditinal web brwsers (presentatin tier), which ensures the easy accessibility fr users. Functinal business lgic (applicatin tier) cntaining business rules based n required functinalities and defined prcesses runs n an applicatin server (Tmcat). Data tier prvides data strage and data access mechanism t an applicatin. PstgreSQL is used as a database server. The system cntains cmpnents as displayed bellw in the figure: Figure 42: SlvRIS architecture incl. data exchange This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 98 f 188

99 Web users / clients Client wrkstatins use thin client (internet brwser) fr access t the applicatin. Cmmunicatin is dne via http ver an encrypted SSL cnnectin (HTTPS). The GUI fr registered users prvides different functinalities based n their rles. General functinality fr internatinally defined users and their access rights t the data cvers request / respnse f RIS related data (in particular AIS, ERI, HULL data), incl. the view f results based n the rle and access rights t the specific data fields. Additinal functinality fr the fleet peratrs cntaining the data wner administratin, allwing the vessel wner (fleet peratr, skipper r an authrised persn) t maintain the access rights t data f the wn vessels (necessary fr access rights where the permissin f the data wner is necessary). Administratr functinality, including the management f users, reference data, access rights matrix, public access details f the RIS Centres, further applicatin settings as well as access t the histry f messages r lgs. Administratr functinality fr manual entry f psitin infrmatin (vessel is / is nt in the area f the RIS Centre SK). Interface t ther external systems, incl. RIS Centres The cmmunicatin with external systems is dne via defined interfaces, via SOAP interface. Fr security reasns and t ensure data integrity, n ther direct access t the data in the SQL databases will be available, except f access via interfaces defined via RIS Gateway. The data exchange is dne by using f XML messages, which are transprted with SOAP requests. External systems are treated as a registered user with pre-defined access rights. Interface t hull database Interface t hull database is implemented in such a way, that when a minimal hull data set is created / updated, the hull data applicatin will send a standardized XML message t Slvak natinal Data Gateway and the vessel index will be updated. In parallel the minimal hull data set is ntified t all participating RIS Centres. Interface t tracking and tracing system (AIS data) There is read-nly access t the AIS data. AIS interface is implemented as listener, which peridically checks fr changes in the tracking and tracing system. This indicates when the vessel enters r leaves the Slvak stretch f the river Danube r the cmmn stretches with Austria r Hungary. This functinality is necessary fr prper implementatin f internatinally agreed prcesses. BICS Interface BICS interface enables the BICS users t send messages (ERINOT) t the Slvak natinal reprting system (Slvak RIS Centre). Fr details see the chapter Cmpnents and functinalities f the electrnic ship reprting infrastructure in Slvakia Mnitring f the pilt implementatin and testing The Slvak representatives (KIOS s.r..) tk part in the RIS Expert Grup meeting in the curse f the IRIS Eurpe prject in rder t fllw the newest standardisatin as well as t infrm n the prgress f RIS implementatin in Slvakia. During the design and implementatin prcess, a lt f clarificatins were necessary. Based n the experience frm the pilt implementatin f the RIS data exchange in Slvakia requests fr changes t the reference dcumentatin were prpsed and dne. The change requests and clarificatin were cnsidered during the implementatin f the pilt implementatin in Slvakia. The prpsed change requests dealt mainly with: Simplificatin f prcesses Message specificatins (crrectins in XML specificatins and XML messaging guide) Prpsals fr changes in prcesses Technical cncept (e.g. clarificatins fr the XPath implementatin) This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 99 f 188

100 In the curse f the year 2008 the RIS data exchange infrastructures f Slvakia, Hungary, Austria, Cratia and the Netherlands were intercnnected and detailed stepwise functinal intercnnectin tests were prepared. Slvak representatives in the Task Frce fr internatinal RIS Data Exchange elabrated test cases fr the internatinal intercnnectin dealing with ntificatin messages and prcesses. Test scenaris were tested, besides remtely running tests, n tw intercnnectin wrkshps in Budapest, Hungary (end f September) and Piestany, Slvakia (end f Octber) during which the detected errrs were dcumented, fixed and re-tested afterwards. The tests prved the functinalities f the system as defined within the system specificatin and requirements analysis. Experience During the implementatin f RIS data exchange pilt infrastructure within IRIS Eurpe the experiences clearly shwed that there is a high demand fr crdinated pan-eurpean reference data management and alignment f time schedules f implementatin at different member states, r nestp infrmatin share. Further bservatins and recmmendatins are part f the fllw up chapters f this Final Technical Reprt Pilt deplyment The pilt RIS data exchange infrastructure is deplyed in the same way as the electrnic ship reprting, r hull data management infrastructure n tw servers, which perate in failver cluster (high availability cluster). Servers are lcated in the Slvak Natinal RIS Centre in the premises f the State Navigatin Administratin. Integratin f users was dne by implementing the rle and their access rights mechanism, as well as the mdern authenticatin / authrisatin mechanisms. The State Navigatin Administratin (Štátna plavebná správa) in Slvakia, as the RIS authrity and RIS prvider, was invlved in the specificatin as well as in the tests since the beginning f the prject. The RIS related data will be available in Slvakia under ne access pint, which is the web site The user can access different infrmatin regarding the RIS via this web site, such as Ntices t Skippers, water level infrmatin, legislatin applicable, and can access the web interface allwing queries fr AIS data; vyage and carg related data and the hull data based n the assigned access rights.

105 Tender f the pilt implementatin: Based n a Eurpean-wide tender prcedure, via dnau identified and cntracted the best bidder with the pilt implementatin f the Austrian infrastructure fr the natinal and internatinal exchange f RIS data whereas the implementatin was cupled with the pilt implementatin f the Austrian electrnic reprting infrastructure. Mnitring f the pilt implementatin: During the implementatin a lt f clarificatins, especially related t the internatinal RIS data exchange prcesses were necessary. Within the technical RIS data exchange task frce, all implementing rganisatins prvided their experiences and came up with necessary change requests t the existing specificatins (R2D2). Thse changes where as well cnsidered during the implementatin f the Austrian pilt infrastructure. Intercnnectin with freign infrastructures: In the curse f 2008 the implementing rganisatins intercnnected the RIS data exchange infrastructures f Slvakia, Hungary, Austria, Cratia and the Netherlands and executed detailed functinal intercnnectin tests in several steps. Next t detailed pre-tests, 2 test wrkshps with tw days each were rganised. In thse test wrkshps detailed functinal tests were executed based n elabrated test cases and the detected errrs were dcumented, fixed and re-tested afterwards. Detailed testing and acceptance f pilt implementatin: Next t the intercnnectin tests, via dnau executed a series f detailed tests in rder t mnitr and prve the prper pilt implementatin f the system split int the fllwing phases: Functinal tests f the RIS data exchange prttype mainly fcused n the graphical user interface Detailed functinal and technical tests f the entire system within a test bench with simulated freign data exchange systems Detailed stability, usability and cnfrmity (standardised messages) tests f the entire system Functinal, technical, perfrmance and security tests after the migratin f the system int the peratinal RIS system in Austria (DRIS) As the executed tests prved the prper functining f RIS data exchange infrastructure, via dnau accepted the pilt implementatin f the system Implemented functinality Basically all implemented functins related t the internatinal exchange f RIS data is fully cnfrm t the specificatins within the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin (R2D2). Details n the R2D2 are prvided in chapter 5.13 RIS Data Exchange Specificatin Technical level (RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin cmmn Eurpean apprach). Interfaces t ther natinal infrastructure: The Austrian RIS data exchange infrastructure is interfacing with the existing Austrian AIS infrastructure t prvide relevant AIS data t authrised users. Furthermre the system is interfacing as well with the pilt implemented Hull data management infrastructure in rder t enable synchrnisatin f the Minimum Hull Data Sets amng the intercnnected systems and t prvide relevant Hull data t authrised users. Interface t freign RIS data exchange infrastructures: Based n the R2D2 the Austrian RIS data exchange infrastructure is interfacing with the freign infrastructures in rder t enable internatinal RIS data exchange based n the technical specificatins and based n the specified prcesses and messages. The main functinality prvided by this interface is: Ntificatin f system relevant messages (alive status, vessel pinter infrmatin) Internatinal request / respnse f RIS data This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 105 f 188

106 Ntificatin f RIS data based n defined trigger events Synchrnisatin f Minimum Hull data sets Ntificatin f electrnic reprts t relevant freign systems (e.g. next cuntry alng the rute) Ntificatin f emergency reprts Graphical user interface fr system users: The user GUI prvides several functins t registered users: Request / respnse f RIS data: The figure belw illustrates the screen fr the manual request f RIS data based n specific search criteria. Figure 45: Request f Data n Electrnic Reprting Web GUI - Austria In this screen the user has the pssibility t request RIS data based n several criteria: First f all the user can chse the type f data t be requested AIS data (IMO msg. 1, IMO Msg. 5 and Inland vessel data reprt) The addressed AIS messages ETA (estimated time f arrival), RTA (required time f arrival) and POB (persns n bard) are nt implemented s far in the natinal infrastructure but the integratin int the natinal and internatinal exchange f RIS data is prepared ERI data (available ERINOT and ERIRSP reprts) Hull data (Minimum Hull data set) Then the user can define specific search criteria fr vessels which s data the user want t request Search criteria vessel-id: The user has the pssibility t search fr a specific vessel by selecting frm a cmb-bx that cntains all vessels participating in RIS f the This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 106 f 188

107 cuntries that have implemented the internatinal RIS data exchange are intercnnected t each ther. Furthermre the user can directly type in the ID f the vessel (e.g. ENIxxx, IMOxxx r MMSIxxx). Search criteria destinatin: The user has als the pssibility t search fr all vessels with a specific destinatin. The destinatin is cmpared with the destinatins f the available AIS and ERI data. If there is a psitive match, the criterin is fulfilled. Search criteria psitin: The user has als the pssibility t search fr vessels based n their current psitin. Therefre the user has different pssibilities t define a specific search area: River kilmetre frm t River kilmetre and radius Lngitude, Latitude and radius All vessels that are currently navigating in the defined area fulfil the search criterin in this case. Furthermre the user has the pssibility t cmbine different search criteria (details are cntained in the R2D2). Based n the defined access rights within the natinal access rights matrices (details are cntained in the R2D2) the system respnds the requested data t the user unfiltered, partly filtered r des nt prvide the data at all when the user has n access rights t the requested data. The user can view the details f the respnded data by clicking n the related buttn in the results list bx. Push f data subscriptins: The figure belw illustrates the screen where the user has the pssibility t set specific criteria fr autmatic requests f data. As thse subscriptins are checked cntinuusly by the system and in case f psitive match the data is prvided autmatically t the user, this functin is called push f data subscriptins. Push f data screen: In this screen the user has an verview n all the data that has been ntified t him by the system. Such a ntificatin can be triggered by the push f data subscriptins. Furthermre authrised users get electrnic reprts and emergency messages ntified via this screen. View AIS, ERI, and Hull data: Certainly a user can view the respnded r ntified data. Therefre several screens fr the individual data grups are prvided. Data wner administratin: In this screen the vessel wner (r an authrised persn) can maintain the access rights t data f the wn vessels. This is necessary t check specific access rights where the permissin f the data wner is necessary. User data administratin: This screen prvides the pssibility t the user t administer the wn user related data like preferred GUI language and cntact details. Other functinality: The functinality fr electrnic reprting as well as fr emergency reprting was als integrated int the user GUI. Details can be fund in the respective chapters within this dcument. Graphical user interface fr system administratr: The administratr GUI prvides all necessary functins t the authrised system administratr: The administratr has an verview n the status f the freign data exchange systems.

109 5.18 RIS Data Exchange Implementatin Technical level in the Netherlands Respnsible Member State: The Netherlands System utline The participating cuntries within IRIS Eurpe have agreed n the realizatin f a Pan-Eurpean pilt implementatin f RIS data exchange. The pilt will intercnnect the implementatin n the Danube crridr with the Seine-Scheldt-Rhine crridr (SSR-crridr). The bjective f this pilt implementatin is t gain experience fr future RIS implementatins, by assembling tw distinct architectures f bth crridrs int ne Pan-Eurpean data exchange architecture. In rder t realize the intercnnectin, the current RIS-services n the SSR-crridr have been extended with additinal cmpnents t enable the intercnnectin The extensin can be split up in the fllwing cmpnents: IRIS-Eurpe layer and RIS-layer fr the exchange f data between the RIS implementatins n the tw crridrs; Implementatin f the RIS authrity Hull-database server; Figure 47: IRIS Eurpe layer in relatin t the SSR-crridr and Danube-crridr The fllwing types f messages have been identified, as specified within "RIS dates Exchange XML Messaging Reference Guide" [2].

This sectin gives an verview f these differences and its cause and cnsequences. N frwarding f requests messages: In case a request is made t the IRIS Eurpe layer then it will nly prvide infrmatin based n the infrmatin available within the Dutch area. S in case data is requested by the Austrian RIS Centre fr a Dutch vessel sailing in Austria, n request is frwarded twards the Austrian RIS Centre t btain the actual psitin. The reasn fr acting this way is based n the Dutch legislatin resulting in the fact nly data available within the Dutch area may be prvided twards the requesting partner. Leaving the Dutch area regarding ntificatin pinters: The ntificatin pinters will always prvide the actual crdinates s a partner is able t derive where a brder crssing is taking place. Psitin Requests: Psitins based n a river km as defined within the R2D2 specificatin is nt pssible yet, s nly thse requests will be supprted referring t: 1. Request based n the Vessel identificatin 2. Request n the Vessel psitin 3. Request based n a Destinatin Timeut values: The Timeut values are set t a default value f 1000 secnds.

These questins shall be answered in this paragraph. The interface between the fllwing tw prcesses is elabrated: the waste management prcesses fr inland shipping the RIS services ffered t inland navigatin The questin f whether waste management prcesses - cncerned with the cllectin f specified categries f waste riginating frm inland navigatin - in inland navigatin can be supprted by River Infrmatin Services (RIS). This feasibility study cvers the first tw tasks as defined in the SWP: 1. T gather infrmatin abut the reginal / natinal current prcesses and measures fr waste management in inland navigatin (with special fcus n the systems in peratin in the Rhine cuntries). 2. T determine the needs and requirements f the rganisatins invlved, cncerning relevant infrmatin that can be prvided via RIS Waste Management Waste management practices differ in develped and develping natins, in urban and rural areas, and as far as residential, industrial, and cmmercial prducers are cncerned. Management f nnhazardus residential and institutinal waste in metrplitan areas is usually the respnsibility f lcal gvernment authrities, while management f nn-hazardus cmmercial and industrial waste is usually the respnsibility f the generatr. Waste management fr inland navigatin fcuses n the fllwing fur categries f waste: Oily and ther hazardus waste; Waste caused by carg; Dmestic waste; Sewage water.

116 There are a number f cncepts cncerning waste management that vary in their usage between cuntries r regins. The waste hierarchy classifies waste management strategies accrding t their desirability. The waste hierarchy has taken many frms ver the past decade, but the basic cncept has remained the crnerstne f mst waste minimisatin strategies. The aim f the waste hierarchy is t extract the maximum practical benefits frm prducts and t generate the minimum amunt f waste The inventry phase Figure 51: The waste hierarchy (surce: RSOE) The actual practice f waste cllectin fr inland navigatin has been studied fr the cuntries invlved in IRIS Eurpe. The first part f the feasibility study is based n literature, bservatins, visits t the cuntries and frm infrmatin prvided by the individual cuntries and interviews. Waste cllectin related t inland navigatin has the attentin f the parties invlved in each cuntry. All the cuntries invlved (Austria, Belgium, France, Hungary, Netherlands, Rmania, Slvakia) are wrking n the subject f waste management in inland navigatin. The Rhine cuntries have develped a waste management treaty which specifies the waste categries: waste cntaminated by il and grease and carg waste. This treaty became in frce recently. The Danube cuntries are als wrking n this subject in the INTERREG-prject prpsal WANDA, Waste management fr inland Navigatin n the Danube, aimed at cncerted develpment and exemplary implementatin f preventive measures t ensure a sustainable, envirnmentally sund and trans-natinally c-rdinated apprach in ship waste management alng the Danube. In crssbrder c-rdinatin a stepwise capable ship waste management system is t be set up alng the Danube. The imprtance f waste management is undisputed. The next table gives an verview f the actual situatin f waste cllectin as develped during the IRIS Eurpe wrkshp n waste management in Budapest n Octber 11 th The figures in the table represent the number f available cllectin pints fr the type f waste mentined in the rws and in the cuntry mentined in the clumns. Clearly a lt f attentin is paid t waste cntaminated with il. Each cuntry is busy cllecting and recycling waste but their psitins in the field differ. Cnflicting regulatins and lack f resurces fr enfrcing existing laws make the present situatin even mre cmplex. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 116 f 188

117 6.2.4 Regulatry Framewrk Figure 52: Develpment f waste Waste management treaty The Shipping Waste Treaty is an agreement between the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, France and Switzerland wherein each cuntry has made individual agreements n hw t deal with il and greasy waste streams, washing water, lading remains, dirt water, husehld wastewater, husehld garbage and small hazardus waste in inland shipping. The treaty was signed in 1996, and has cme recently int frce. The treaty cnsists f three parts: Part A: Waste cntaining grease and il Part B: Carg-related waste Part C: All ther waste The Danube River Prtectin Cnventin 2 The Cnventin n C-peratin fr the Prtectin and Sustainable Use f the Danube River (Danube River Prtectin Cnventin) frms the verall legal instrument fr c-peratin and trans-bundary water management in the Danube River Basin. The Cnventin was signed n June 29 th 1994 in Sfia, Bulgaria, by eleven f the Danube riparian states, namely Austria, Bulgaria, Cratia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Mldva, Rmania, Slvakia, Slvenia and Ukraine plus the Eurpean Cmmunity. The Cnventin duly came int frce in Octber The main bjective f the Danube River Prtectin Cnventin (DRPC) is t ensure that surface waters and grundwater within the Danube River Basin are managed and used sustainable and equitably RIS and Waste management River Infrmatin services are dedicated t safety and efficiency issues fr inland navigatin, but their use in supprting waste management is als being discussed by all the cuntries. The first pririty is hwever, agreed by all parties invlved, t create awareness f the implicatins and imprtance f an apprpriate waste cllectin system and as the next step it was cncluded that RIS can be used in the near future t supprt and spread infrmatin t the relevant parties regarding the cllectin f waste. This can be accmplished fr instance with the use f AIS, NTS and inland ECDIS charts. All f these can give infrmatin t the relevant parties. AIS can be used t cmmunicate the lcatins f waste-cllecting vessels, thereby supprting the pssibility f waste dispsal during navigatin. AIS can als be used fr berth planning r terminal planning. This increases the availability f berths fr the dispsal f carg waste by prviding the pssibility f planning capacity. Inland ECDIS charts (can) give infrmatin abut the lcatin f waste facilities in harburs and n lcks. They can als 2 Surce: Blueprint fr rganising the cllectin f waste frm IWT vessels in Rmania, NEA, Rijswijk 2007 This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 117 f 188

118 prvide infrmatin abut the prpsed use f facilities t avid misuse. NTS (Ntices t Skippers) can be used t spread all kinds f relevant infrmatin t the skippers, such as the availability f waste dispsal facilities. The cntent f the hull database shuld be recnsidered in rder t prepare RIS fr mnitring and cntrlling f waste management in the future. The pssible use f RIS t imprve and enfrce waste cllectin fr inland shipping underlines the need fr harmnisatin f waste cllectin within the different cuntries. All the cuntries need t take several steps in the facilitatin, regulatin and enfrcement f waste management prcesses. Building adequate and sufficient facilities, harmnising cnflicting regulatins and arranging the separate cllectin f different types f waste are questins which have t be dealt with befre enfrcement has a reasnable chance t succeed Cnclusins The cnclusin f this research is that River Infrmatin Services can supprt but nt enfrce prper waste management fr inland shipping. All the cuntries invlved agree that RIS shuld be used primarily fr infrmatin exchange. This infrmatin can supprt the skippers as well as the authrities and third parties. The first step in using RIS fr waste management fr inland shipping shuld fcus n the use f defined standards and available services. Examples f this are: Definitin f standard messages fr waste management in Ntice t The Skippers (NTS). NTS can be used t spread all kinds f relevant infrmatin t the skippers, such as any breakdwn in the waste cllectin installatins, r t prvide internatinally travelling vessels with crrect and up-t-date infrmatin in their wn language n hw t dispse different types f ships waste prduced during navigatin in the cuntry actually visited. Adding f the lcatins f waste cllectin pints, including the types f waste that can be discharged t the inland ECDIS charts. Infrmatin abut the lcatin f waste facilities in harburs and n lcks can be prvided thrugh RIS. Equipping bilge bats/ waste cllecting vessels with AIS in rder t enable cmmunicatin between the bilge bat and the skippers and t facilitate the planning f the dispsal f waste during navigatin. This can bring waste dispsal within the reach f mre skippers. AIS can als be used fr berth planning r terminal planning. This increases the number f berths available fr the dispsal f carg waste by making it pssible t plan capacity. The prpsed use f RIS fr levelling csts and incme due t waste cllectin prcesses is cnsidered beynd the reach f RIS at this mment. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 118 f 188

119 6.3 SWP 3.1 Pilt implementatin fr Waste Management in the Netherlands Respnsible Member State: The Netherlands Intrductin Services ffered by RIS, at present r in the near future, are primarily related t safety and efficiency cnsideratins n the Eurpean waterways, but can als supprt waste management. AIS, Inland ECDIS charts and NTS (Ntices T Skippers) are examples f such services. AIS can be used t pint ut the lcatin f the nearest waste-cllecting vessel (bilge bat). Inland ECDIS charts can be used t pint ut lcatins f waste cllectin including their capacity and pening hurs. The Ntices t Skippers standard can be used t give infrmatin abut the availability f cllectin pints. The cnclusin f the previus chapter was that the pssibilities f RIS can be used t supprt and infrm the parties invlved in the waste cllectin prcess. Mnitring and cntrlling f the waste cllectin prcess by means f RIS seems pssible. In rder t d s, the first pririty is t address the harmnisatin f the legislatin and rules between the cuntries invlved. It is expected that this harmnisatin prcess will take a lng time. Therefre the fcus n using RIS t supprt waste management shuld be n the standards already develped within the IRIS-Eurpe prject such as AIS, NTS and Inland ECDIS charts RIS pilts n waste management This chapter gives a brief verview f the wrkut f the recmmended actins dealing with infrming skipper abut lcatins f waste cllectin. Until nw tw actins were executed: A change request was cmpsed that cntains the prpsitin t add lcatins fr waste cllectin in the RIS index. The bject with the functin cde WASTE was prpsed t be added and adpted at the NTS meeting in Nvember 2008, in Vienna. Inland ECDIS infrmatin n waste dispsal As a pilt fr Inland ECDIS, a special Inland ENC was defined t get inputs t make a prpsal fr a discussin at the Open ECDIS frum with the gal t include waste management as a prper part f the Inland ENC standard. In ne ENC a waste cllectin lcatin was added and a facility XML scheme was cnstructed. This file was linked t the specific bject refuse dump. Within the RIS index it is pssible t add the name f the XML file t make it pssible t use the infrmatin within ther RIS functins like rute-planning. In the fllwing images the pilt implementatin f the waste cllectin dispsal in Inland ECDIS is presented. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 119 f 188

121 6.4 SWP 3.2 Feasibility study n Calamity Abatement Respnsible Member States: Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Slvakia, Hungary Intrductin In inland navigatin, there is a strng need fr infrmatin exchange between different parties. River Infrmatin Services (RIS) aim at integratin f infrmatin flws related t bth traffic and transprt. Calamity supprt des nt incrprate traffic and transprt management tls, hwever it makes use f them when a calamity ccurs. Therefre, it is clear that the develpment f a calamity supprt tl fcuses n calamity-related infrmatin flws nly. T prevent and abate the calamity, the ther RIS services are crucial and intensively used Aim f the study Within the framewrk f the IRIS EUROPE prject, a specific sub wrk package was devted t develp a Calamity Abatement Supprt (CAS) mdule in RIS. It fcused n the prvisin f useful infrmatin t relevant authrities and rescue frces in case f calamities n inland waterways. The main bjectives f this sub wrk package are: the executin f a feasibility study and the specificatins f the calamity abatement service; the implementatin f a pilt installatin fr testing and enhancing the defined services. In rder t prvide CAS, it is assumed that the basic RIS services are available in practice, i.e.: tracking and tracing services, e.g. by means f AIS; the availability f ENC; the availability f NtS; and Electrnic reprting systems fr carg and vyage infrmatin. Therefre, it deals with (i) traffic infrmatin cming frm the AIS base statins and (ii) the carg and vyage infrmatin frm the electrnic reprting infrastructure. As shwn in Figure 55, the RIS centre interacts with bth, the authrity and shre segment. The implementatin f CAS is at the same level and clearly interacts with the authrity segment f the entire infrmatin system. Finally, it can be mentined that different RIS systems may exist in a cuntry, depending n the gegraphy and their tasks. Hence, calamity abatement prcedures may differ between cuntries. Hwever, the internatinal infrmatin exchange shuld be cherent. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 121 f 188

122 Figure 55: Cnfiguratin f the calamity abatement infrmatin system T develp such a CAS, it wuld be internatinally beneficial if the different natinal systems deal with the same kind f infrmatin when a crss-brder calamity ccurs. This study therefre aims at setting up best practices with respect t the internatinal infrmatin exchange befre and during calamity abatement Calamity abatement supprt in River Infrmatin Services Besides the general implementatin f RIS architecture and hardware, the develpment f a CAS mdule is included in the framewrk f the IRIS EUROPE prject. Hwever, t btain a Eurpe-wide recgnised framewrk fr CAS, it is crucial t have a cmmn visin n the functinalities f such a system. The RIS Guidelines describe the fllwing functinalities fr CAS: Infrmatin n incidents fcused n traffic situatin; Assessment f the traffic situatin in case f an incident; Crdinatin f the assistance f patrl vessels; Assessment f the pssible effects f the accident n the envirnment, peple and traffic; Presentatin f infrmatin t patrl vessels, plice bats, fire squat bats; Initiatin and crdinatin f search and rescue activities; Measures t be taken n traffic, envirnment and peple prtectin. These functinalities are generally accepted by the IRIS Eurpe partners. Hwever, it is stressed that: stands fr prviding infrmatin are crdinated nly; actins are nt truly crdinated; the infrmatin exchange n internatinal level is very imprtant, cf. crss-brder calamities. Cmmn agreement exists n the need fr internatinal harmnisatin n accident classificatin (mainly type and severity) and the prcedures t cmmunicate the ntificatin f a calamity t the neighburing river authrities, cf. RIS centres; rles, instructins and respnsibilities shuld be clear fr everyne invlved in calamities; CAS shuld be simple t be efficient; and CAS shuld make distinctin between different types f calamities and their seriusness.

123 Because the classificatin f calamities and incidents is cnsidered crucial fr initiating the right infrmatin flw, i.e. what infrmatin t whm, this tpic was investigated in detail as well as the data needs and requirements frm the user s pint f view Calamity classificatin Calamity classificatin is seen as an essential part f CAS. Depending n the calamity classificatin, the alert chain shall be initiated. The calamity-related infrmatin is t be harmnised Prpsal f calamity classificatin system One can cnclude that many calamity r accident classificatin systems have been develped. At the mment there is n harmnised Eurpean way t perfrm a classificatin. This wuld be beneficial t exchange standardised infrmatin in case f a crss-brder calamity and between different natinal authrities wrking with different infrmatin systems. Starting frm the EU COMPRIS prject s utcme, calamities are classified accrding t: types r events; cnsequences and severity Prcedure f data / infrmatin exchange In case f a calamity, nt nly the nature f the transferred infrmatin is imprtant; ther requirements can be imprtant t. In this respect, the availability f RIS data must be set/determined fr different rles (e.g. fire brigade, waterway peratr, skipper, etc), bth natinal and internatinal. Data access rights are nt linked t incming data, but t data requests. During nrmal circumstances, nt every persn has access t all available data in RIS. In case f calamities, every bit f infrmatin shuld be available fr peple invlved with the calamity abatement thugh. Indeed, every calamity may be different and demands fr anther set f data and infrmatin t be slved. Peple nt invlved in the frmal calamity chain team are unauthrised (cf. authrity side) Prpsal t best practices Based n the abve findings, best practices in relatin t calamity abatement and infrmatin exchange can be prpsed. These findings shuld frm the base fr develping a calamity abatement supprt tl within RIS. Within the Eurpean cntext, they are summarised belw. The alert signal t the waterway peratr r RIS centre can have different rigins like phne, fax, etc. Hw calamities are prevented, alerted and abated may differ fr each cuntry. Instead, the infrmatin flw between RIS centres, when crss-brder calamities ccur, needs t be standardised. It is als recmmended that neighburing RIS centres are alerted in case f a crss-brder calamity r in case f a large risk fr crss-brder effects. In this respect, the traditinal RIS services, as mentined in the internatinal RIS guidelines, are assumed t be adpted and applied in practise t enable a prper calamity abatement management. The traditinal RIS services play an imprtant rle in the preventin and abatement f calamities as summarised in Table 30 and are related t an ptimised navigatin management. Supplementary, specific calamity abatement supprt services within RIS are needed fr prper and efficient calamity abatement. Additinal functins are mentined in Table 31. The extra functins d nt cver all phases f the safety chain.

In several Eurpean cuntries, classificatin f accidents is nt dne n basis f pre-defined categries. Cnsequently, the neighburing cuntry cannt be infrmed in a harmnised way by means f an emergency ntificatin, which is utlined by the Task Frce fr internatinal RIS Data Exchange n basis f the SafeSeaNet Emergency Ntificatin Messages. Withut an internatinally accepted classificatin, the pssibly invlved neighburing cuntries cannt be infrmed prperly. Pssible Slutin: Harmnise the classificatin f accidents at a Eurpean level r, at least, at the river system level, and harmnize the frwarding f infrmatin. SafeSeaNet and several authrities can serve as examples. Table 31: Pssible additinal functins fr calamity abatement supprt as part f RIS Every calamity shuld be classified in rder t warn the emergency services and authrities accrdingly. The calamity type and its severity als determine what infrmatin shuld be transferred t whm. A calamity classificatin system has been prpsed in this study, merging the psitive elements f all referenced classificatin systems. Besides traditinal RIS data (like ERI and hull data), calamity specific data shuld be cllected and exchanged by the RIS system t. This set f data shuld be accessible by everyne invlved with the calamity abatement; the same accunts fr the traditinal RIS services. When n calamity ccurs, access rights limit the user s authrisatin t the RIS system. It is prpsed that a similar selectin f data shuld be available fr the peple t be alerted in case f a calamity (bth natinal as 4 based n Directive 94/56/EC and its revisins This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 125 f 188

The use f standardised cding and messaging systems (e.g. CAP, GLIDE, etc.) shuld be initiated as well. In this respect, the Nt_Emergency.xml is recmmended by the IRIS Eurpe Task Frce fr the internatinal RIS data exchange. With respect t this message prtcl, the accident type and severity can be cded Cnclusin RIS incrprates many services. One f them is the Calamity Abatement Supprt (CAS) mdule, which shuld facilitate the data transfer between peple invlved in incidents r accidents. Hence, this can be n bth, natinal and internatinal scale. CAS nt nly realises the data flw, but it als determines what infrmatin t be sent based n a classificatin f the calamity. Structured lgging f infrmatin is perfrmed as well and aims at facilitating the data cllectin fr the recnstructin f the calamity. Different Eurpean cuntries (Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Netherlands, Rmania, and Slvakia) have cntributed t set up best practices fr this CAS mdule. Additinally, literature has been reviewed with respect t different accident/incident classificatin systems. The best practices are related t: means fr data transfer, e.g. NtS, Inland AIS, etc ; standardized internatinal exchange f data in case f relevant events; calamity classificatin; data needs and requirements frm the calamity team s pint f view; and lgging f infrmatin. The utcme f this analysis shuld be cnsidered when setting up a CAS within the Eurpean cntext f waterway management. 6.5 SWP 3.2 Pilt implementatin n Calamity Abatement in Flanders Respnsible Member State: Belgium Cncerning the pilt implementatin, the effrts f Flanders were nly restricted t sketch the utlines f the future implementatin and will be financed by ther surces than IRIS Eurpe.

The main bjective regarding Slvakia was t cntribute t the feasibility study as well as t pilt implement the calamity abatement service in Slvakia Inventry f natinal requirements This SWP fcused n the evaluatin f natinal requirements fr calamity abatement service. Thus, an independent study regarding the calamities n inland waterways was dne cvering the Slvak situatin. The inventry f natinal requirements was aligned with ther partners in the IRIS Eurpe prject. As a result the classificatin f calamities (accidents) has been defined, internatinally accepted and the respective message n calamity abatement has been develped. In rder t prvide basic infrmatin abut the navigatin situatin n the Slvak part f the Danube, in case f any incident, partners frm administratins were invlved in the testing f the tracking and tracing system, including: Plice Cmplex Central Rescue Service Waterway maintenance Dispatch centre (f the Danube river) State Navigatin Administratin Ministry f Transprt (MDPT SR) Figure 57: Cnfiguratin f the calamity abatement system in Slvakia Cmpnents and implemented functinalities The pilt implementatin f the calamity abatement service in Slvakia is integral part f the SlvRIS system, and as such it uses the same architecture and is in line with the technical cncept, prcesses and messages as defined in the IRIS Eurpe prject. The reprting abut defined events has been implemented based n the Calamity Abatement specificatin dne in cperatin with partners f the IRIS Eurpe prject. This way the cmpatibility with ther Eurpean cuntries is ensured and the infrmatin n the defined event is available t the entitled stakehlders. Having an emergency activated, the respective users wh are entitled t receive data related t the incident can access it and can use it fr the calamity abatement activities.

128 The functinalities f the pilt calamity abatement service are as fllws: Generatin f ntificatin f emergencies by authrised user, in case f Slvakia by in this case the State Navigatin Administratin in the rle f CAT, which gathers infrmatin n the accident Sending and receiving ntificatins f emergencies t/frm neighburing cuntries, r thse wh culd have interest n infrmatin abut the calamity (accident) String f all emergency ntificatin (incl. histry f sent / received messages) Management f users entitled t receive infrmatin / data in case f accident with limited access rights t the data. Having an emergency activated, the respective users wh are entitled t receive data related t the incident can access it and can use it fr the calamity abatement activities. Figure 58: Screenshts f the pilt implementatin f calamity abatement service in Slvakia Mnitring f pilt implementatin and testing During the pilt implementatin f the calamity abatement service functinal tests, incl. thse related t internatinal data exchange were executed, detected errrs were fixed and re-tested. The executed tests prved the prper functining f the implemented pilt calamity abatement service. 6.7 SWP 3.2 Pilt implementatin n Calamity Abatement in Hungary Respnsible Member State: Hungary This SWP fcused n the prvisin f useful infrmatin t relevant authrities and rescue frces in case f calamities n inland waterways. Fr this reasn RSOE in cperatin with the partners and the natinal ministry f transprt executed a feasibility study and develped specificatins fr a Calamity Abatement Service in Hungary and implemented a pilt installatin fr testing and enhancing the defined service. In sectin 5.4 f the Cmmissin Regulatin (EC) N 414/2007 f 13 March 2007 cncerning the technical guidelines fr the planning, implementatin and peratinal use f river infrmatin services (RIS) it is stated that ne f the functins f RIS is the Calamity Abatement Supprt defined as: 1. Calamity abatement supprt registers the vessel and transprt data at the beginning f a vyage in a RIS centre and updates the data during the vyage. In case f an accident, the RIS centre delivers the data withut delay t the emergency services. 2. Depending n the risk assessment, a calamity abatement service may register nly certain types f vessels and cmpsitins r all vessels. 3. It shuld be the respnsibility f the skipper t reprt the required data. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 128 f 188

129 4. A ship reprting system with a database and apprpriate means f cmmunicatin shuld be established. 5. Psitin and sailing directin f the vessel shuld be reprted: a. when entering r leaving the area f a RIS centre; b. at specified reprting pints within the area f the RIS centre; c. when the data has been changed during the vyage; d. befre and after stps f lnger than a specific perid. The natinal reprt elabrated by RSOE shws the backgrund and status qu f the currently existing relevant Hungarian system cnnected t the abve listed measures and had the aim t elabrate a pilt applicatin that can enhance the calamity abatement supprt activities. After the definitin f safety and security related affairs the effects f ptential events have t be analyzed. First f all in rder t have all respnsible authrities and institutins invlved in safety and security related River Infrmatin Services all f them have t be infrmed abut the deplyment wrks in the field f RIS and elabrate recmmendatins fr wrk and infrmatin exchange prcesses. In the current status f RIS deplyment in Eurpe it can be stated that all rganizatins taking part in inland navigatin shall establish, implement and maintain dcumented safety and security bjectives and measures at relevant functins and levels within the rganizatin. The rganizatins shall take int accunt: Legal, statutry and ther safety and security regulatry requirements, Safety and security related threats and risks, Technlgical and ther ptins and ptential slutins, Financial, peratinal and business requirements, Views f apprpriate stakehlders. The calamity abatement and crisis management bjectives and measures shall be: Cnsistent with the rganizatin s cmmitment t cntinual imprvement, Quantified (where practicable), Cmmunicated t all stakehlders, Dcumented, Reviewed peridically. Best practise The infrmatin fr skippers 6/Taj/2006 defines the usage f the radi channels in inland navigatin. This definitin als includes the reprting f calamities t the authrities. In case f an accident happening n the Hungarian Danube sectin the accident can be reprted via VHF cmmunicatin t the Radi NAVINFO-BUDAPEST Calamity Centre (24/7 service). T check the relevancy f the reprt the NAVINFO Calamity Centre checks the infrmatin back n VHF clarifying the fllwing data: Where has the accident happened? Is there the need fr medical help? After having reliable data and identifying the exact lcatin f the accident the NAVINFO Calamity Centre ntices the cmpetent authrities and rganizatins. In case f an accident happening n the Hungarian Danube stretch the crdinatin is permanent between the NAVINFO Calamity Centre and the Danube Water Plice Captaincy and the vessel. After receiving the reprt f the accident the vessels km far frm the place f the accident are This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 129 f 188

130 infrmed abut the event. In case the accident has a lnger impact n inland navigatin the Calamity Centre prvides permanent infrmatin. A ntice t skippers is issued in apprximately minutes if needed (in case f waterway clsure). The rescue frces arriving t the place f the accident are crdinated by the Danube Water Plice Captaincy. If an accident has impact n ne r mre bridges, depending n whether railway r mtrway bridge, the relevant rganizatin is infrmed (MÁV r the reginal mtrway peratin cmpany). Accident dcumentatin is prepared by the Danube Water Plice Captaincy. A final accident reprt is prepared by the NAVINFO Calamity Centre. Accident reprts are stred n the server f the NAVINFO Calamity Centre and they are frwarded t the pre-defined list f rganizatins via electrnic data exchange. The receipt f the reprt is being checked via telephne. At the end f each year the Ministry f Ecnmy and Transprt receives the verall statistical figures f the annual inland navigatin data (Danube, River Tisza, Lake Balatn). Pilt service The Hungarian system prpsal f dealing with calamity abatement is currently in the testing phase thrugh a pilt service in Hungary. This service is highly suitable t infrm the relevant dmestic and freign authrities in a fast and secure way. The service makes use f the Cmmn Alerting Prtcl. The Cmmn Alerting Prtcl (CAP) 5 is a simple, but general frmat fr exchanging all-hazard emergency alerts. The frmat is cmpatible with emerging techniques, such as web services, as well as existing frmats. The CAP alert message cnsists f fur segments: <alert> Basic infrmatin abut the current message. <inf> Descriptin f the anticipated r actual event in terms f its urgency (time available t prepare), severity (intensity f impact) and certainty (cnfidence in the bservatin r predictin), as well as sme categrical and textual descriptins f the subject event. <resurce> Prvides ptinal reference t additinal infrmatin related t <inf>. <area> Descriptin f the gegraphical area t which the <inf> segment in which it appears applies. The Hungarian interface used fr calamity abatement can be fund n The server is nt public; it is nly accessible fr the relevant authrities fr editing, althugh fr testing with the username guest and passwrd guest it is pssible t lg in. This applicatin is used fr the natinal data exchange. The experiences f this applicatin have als been utilized t elabrate the pilt applicatin in IRIS Eurpe due t the fact that in the internatinal cntext IRIS Eurpe had the task t develp a standardized way f data exchange, meaning the Nt_Emergency.xml message. The interface was tested by reprting a real event. Just after grunding tk place, an agent infrmed ur calamity centre and the service was used t infrm the disaster management. The pilt system elabrated fr the sake f the natinal use is a cnvenient tl fr thse wh are respnsible fr the registratin and reprting and fr the recipient rganizatins; see benefit f this service. Hwever, in wrk package tw f IRIS Eurpe an integrated prtal fr the internatinal RIS data exchange was develped that cnfrms the Nt_Emergency.xml message requirement. On the 26-27th f March 2007 the Calamity Abatement Service Wrkshp tk place in Hungary and it was hsted by RSOE. 5 See als at: This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 130 f 188

The expected utcmes in Austria were: Feasibility study n ptential calamity abatement service in Austria System specificatins fr pilt implementatin f calamity abatement service in Austria Pilt Implementatin f calamity abatement service in Austria Detailed testing and acceptance f implemented pilt service Results f SWP 3.2 in Austria First f all Austria cntributed, next t ther cuntries, t the elabratin f the feasibility study fr a calamity abatement service. A majr utcme f this feasibility study is a cmmn prpsal f the invlved partners fr the classificatin f accident types and accident severity. Thse classificatins were included int the Nt_Emergency.xml message by the technical RIS data exchange task frce under the lead f Austria. This specified message is part f the s called RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin (see chapter 5.13) and was implemented in Austria, Slvakia, Hungary, Cratia (as cperatin partner) and Belgium fr the natinal and internatinal ntificatin f emergency infrmatin. Therefre, the related functinality was specified in detail and included in the tender specificatins fr the implementatin f the Austrian RIS data exchange infrastructure. The tendered infrastructure was pilt implemented int the Austrian RIS system. Cntribute t feasibility study: Austria cntributed actively t the elabratin f the feasibility study under the lead f Belgium. The detailed findings, results and recmmendatins ut f this feasibility study are cntained in the related SWP dcumentatin. Elabratin f system specificatins: Detailed specificatins n the natinal requirements, regarding the pilt service fr calamity abatement supprt, were elabrated: Interface t ther natinal infrastructure t get relevant data (e.g. Austrian AIS infrastructure t get traffic related infrmatin in case f emergencies; e.g. Austrian electrnic reprting infrastructure t get relevant carg and vyage related data f invlved vessels in case f emergencies) Graphical user interface fr authrised users t reprt and maintain the status f emergency reprts and fr the system administratr t administer the list f receivers in case f incming emergency reprts, etc. Prcedures fr the autmatic / manual ntificatin f emergency infrmatin t ther cuntries Tender f the pilt implementatin: The implementatin f the calamity abatement pilt service was integrated as part f the pilt implementatin f the natinal and internatinal exchange f RIS data in Austria.

136 6.9 SWP 3.3 Feasibility study n Cllisin Avidance Respnsible Member State: Austria The Cmmissin Staff Wrking Dcument n the NAIADES Actin Plan pints ut that at present, inland shipping is respnsible fr rughly 80% f all transprted hazardus gds in Eurpe. This is due t the exemplary safety recrd f inland navigatin. Safety levels can nevertheless still be imprved. Safety measures shuld be cncentrated n n-shre measures (traffic infrmatin and management), n-bard measures (navigatinal equipment and vessel design), the interface vesselshre, regulatry measures (the revised ADN rules), as well as measures aimed at training and educatin. The prime bjective f the feasibility study n cllisin avidance is the determinatin f additinal measures fr RIS systems in rder t reduce incidents and accidents. The investigatin is fcused n preventive measures fr cllisin avidance rather than n measures fr calamity abatement (e.g. electrnic reprting) and n accident abatement instead f services fr enhancing the cmfrt f RIS services (e.g. autmatic identificatin f barges). In the first step, the different measures t ensure safety in shipping were identified n basis f a literature search. Hahne, Galle and Baldauf classified the measures fr risk limitatin int the fllwing categries: Measures witch have affect n the subjective behaviur On-bard safety systems (including n bard RIS Systems) Land-based engineered safety systems (including n shre RIS Systems) Measures fr damage limitatin Ship-cnstructin-based engineered safety systems technical- rganisatinal measures Ecnmical- humanitarian measures The further research f the study fcused n the n-bard and n-shre RIS Systems. As a secnd step, the accident database f the Austrian Supreme Navigatin Authrity (OSB) was analyzed. This database is kept by the OSB and recrds all accidents since Fr the feasibility study, the data f accidents between 2002 and 2006 were used. In general 187 accidents were registered n the Austrian Danube within the cnsidered time frame. These accidents were classified int the fllwing categries: Cllisin Grunding / Stranding Fire / Explsin Persnal Injury while perating a ship Lss f equipment r carg N accident (but nearly) Capsizing Others This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 136 f 188

Overall it has t be mentined, that als cllisins with lcks are included in the classificatin cllisin. The secnd cmmn accident type is grunding and stranding. The database was als in rder t determine cluster pints f accidents. It turns ut that depending n each kind f accident different cluster pints are given. In the area f Vienna, an accumulatin in the can be identified, which is caused by the higher traffic. As fr stranding and grundings an accumulatin in the free flwing river stretch between Vienna and Bratislava can be detected, which is due t the variatin f the fairway in the free-flating sectins f the Danube. In the fllwing, the rt causes fr all types f accidents were classified. In the fllwing figure, the failure analysis fr cllisins is displayed.

138 As human errrs were the mst pre-dminant ne leading t a cllisin, an errr list was drawn up t determine the pre-dminant types f human errrs: Navigatin utside f the fairway channel ccurred mst frequently (20 times) Skippers intxicated ccurred secnd but mst frequently (4 times) Crew regulatins nt bserved ccurred third but mst frequently (3 times) As next step, typical accidents were analyzed and hw installed RIS systems culd have helped: Scenari 1: Stranding at entrance f prt Scenari 2: late detectin f maneuvres f ther vessel Scenari 3 : cllisin with ther vessel due t maneuvre Scenari 4 : cllisin f bridge due t bad weather The analysis cncluded that thse accidents culd pssibly have been avided by means f AIS, Inland ECDIS Charts and heading systems n bard f vessels and the authrities prvided waterlevel infrmatin, Ntices t Skippers and Electrnic Navigatinal Charts including depth data. As a pre-cnditin, the fllwing amendments in terms f shre-based infrastructure/services can be recmmended: Electrnic Navigatinal Charts: In Austria Inland Electrnic Navigatinal Charts are prvided at the website f via dnau. Imprvement n Inland Electrnic Navigatinal Charts depth data distributin mechanism is required t prvide mre actual depth data t the skippers. In additin, the prvisin f water level mdels in shallw water sectins and at lw bridges is recmmended. AIS land infrastructure: The implementatin f AIS land infrastructure is recmmended fr all waterways f class Va and higher and at pints f higher accident risk. In additin AIS repeater statins are recmmended in stretches with limited radar cverage. Ntices t Skippers: The prvisin f water level and water level mdels is recmmended. In additin, new services such as entry guidance t the lcks similar t the integrated landing system in air-transprt shuld be lked int. Such systems might require an additinal set f sensrs and a mdel f the navigatinal characteristics f the vessel. In terms f RIS Services/Systems n bard f the vessels, the fllwing cnclusins can be drawn: Heading Device and AIS transpnder: Traffic infrmatin prvided by AIS including heading infrmatin shall be made available at least fr all vessels with a length greater than 20 metres and/r greater than 12 persns n bard. Electrnic Navigatinal Charts and Ntices t Skippers: It is recmmended t implement all devices n bard f the vessels, s that Inland Electrnic Navigatinal Charts and Ntices t Skippers can be prvided t the skippers.

143 The knwledge transfer n RIS implementatin, based n trainings f key experts, shwed very gd results and prved t be an efficient methd f prviding rganisatins thrughut Eurpe with basic knw-hw abut the initial steps t be taken fr RIS implementatin in their cuntries. The whle cncept f River Infrmatin Services shws an increasing level f cmplexity, als due t the level f maturity f the RIS related standards and regulatins. Thus it was a very imprtant task f the SWP 4.1 t prvide n ne hand a general verview f RIS including all the required cmpnents, n the ther hand it was significant t share detailed key expertise in RIS related technlgies and their implementatin. It is recmmended t cntinue the knwledge transfer n RIS implementatin in the future based n key-expert exchange prgrammes, enabling thse cuntries t catch up with the high speed f RIS develpment and implementatin, which jined the RIS cmmunity in a later stage. 7.3 SWP 4.1 Knwledge Transfer n RIS Implementatin in the Rhine-Seine and Baltic cuntries Respnsible Member States: Austria, the Netherlands RIS training prgramme In the cntext f IRIS Eurpe a knwledge transfer training prgramme has been develped by the Centre fr Transprt and Navigatin t prvide trainees mre practical experience with inland navigatin and in special with practical RIS experience. A pilt prgramme was prvided as try-ut t amngst thers the prject manager f IRIS Eurpe and is in future available fr fllw up trainees. The prgramme cnsisted f 5 parts: 1. Cntainer terminal and River infrmatin Services with fcus n planning One f the biggest cntainer terminals in the prt f Rtterdam has been visited in rder t prvide infrmatin n the planning f maritime and inland cntainer terminals. The visit led t a pilt in the Netherlands n the integratin f vyage planning (ship based), lck planning and terminal planning. The pilt will be executed n the rute Rtterdam-Antwerp with the cperatin f several terminals and cntainer vessels and is fcussed n the prf f the many benefits f RIS fr planning fr public and private sectr. 2. Chemical tankers and their use and benefits f RIS services. A trip has been made with a chemical tanker frm Rtterdam t Antwerp highlighting the special requirements, rules and regulatins related t this kind f transprt/the transprt f dangerus carg. In this respect t benefits f RIS equipment and services in a crss brder envirnment culd be learned and discussed under practical circumstances. 3. Relatins maritime Vessel Traffic Management and RIS centres In rder t learn frm the maritime wrld a visit has been arranged t the Maritime Rescue Crdinatin Centre (MRCC) in Zeebrugge. This centre is recently realised and prvides a very sphisticated view n mdern VTM equipment and prvides fr the RIS envirnment up t data infrmatin n the peratin f AIS netwrk technlgy and the interactins in the SafeSeaNet envirnment. In relatin t RIS centre peratins the visit t the MRCC prvided infrmatin n the bttlenecks with respect t the manning f the Centre and training and educatin f peratrs. 4. Calamity abatement in the Prt f Rtterdam including security prvisins. The training prgramme included a visit t the Wrld Prt Centre in Rtterdam t learn abut their experience n calamity abatement in a cmplex prt envirnment with many stakehlders and a very diverse respnsibility pattern. The visit included an explanatin f the measures that have t be taken nwadays in the maritime and seaprt envirnment. The RIS cmmunity have t be prepared n preparing as early as pssible similar services t the inland navigatin wrld while it will be unavidable that in the near future similar measures will be mandatry. 5. Maritime and RIS architecture Based n, amngst thers, the RIS architecture, the maritime wrld is develping the Maritime architecture. In rder t learn frm this develpment and fr future integratin the prgramme included an interactin with the experts n Maritime architecture.

144 7.4 SWP 4.2 Reference functinal specificatin Respnsible Member State: Austria Main bjectives and expected utcme The main bjective f this SWP was t elabrate and prvide a Guideline fr the elabratin f functinal specificatins fr the implementatin f a RIS system, inline with the prvisins in the RIS Directive 2005/44/EC and the Cmmissin Regulatins cncerning the technical specificatins fr RIS as referred t in Article 5 f Directive 2005/44/EC. The expected utcme was a functinal descriptin f a reference RIS system including the fllwing cmpnents: RIS Centre Tracking & Tracing infrastructure (based n Inland AIS Standard) Electrnic Reprting infrastructure (based n ERI Standard) Hull Database infrastructure (based n prvisins f Directive 2006/87/EC and Directive 2008/87/EC) Natinal and Internatinal Data Exchange infrastructure (based n IRIS Eurpe prject standard n internatinal RIS Data Exchange) Ntices t Skippers infrastructure (based n NtS Standard) User Interface(s) The guideline as Deliverable f SWP 4.2 was structured in such a way that rganisatins starting with the implementatin f RIS can get a general verview f typical RIS infrastructures and cmpnents. The guideline was structured as fllws: Intrductin Functinality System Architecture Users Relevant standards and regulatins Apprach Accrding t the prvisins in the EC Decisin and the IRIS Eurpe wrkplan it was the sle respnsibility f Austria t elabrate the guideline fr the functinal specificatin. Based n the experiences f Austria gained frm specifying, tendering, implementing and testing several RIS infrastructures, systems and services, the guideline fr functinal specificatins was elabrated n a general level in rder t avid any limitatins and prvide implementing parties the pssibility t amend the specificatins, and t add specific requirements and additinal functins fr custmised infrastructures Summary, cnclusins and recmmendatins The elabrated guidelines fr reference specificatins fr RIS systems prvide a gd verview n a pssible RIS reference system, its segments and the main infrastructure (systems, cmpnents, functins). It is clearly stated that these guidelines d nt substitute necessary detailed expert knwledge n the individual infrastructures fr the creatin f detailed tender specificatins but prvide a slid basis fr it, especially t supprt respnsible parties (e.g. RIS prvider) t get an verview and t define their basic requirements n a RIS system t be specified and implemented. The guideline must be seen as a first attempt t elabrate a cmprehensive utline fr functinal specificatins characterising a RIS system. It must be clear that the Technical Specificatins fr RIS as referred t in Article 5 f Directive 2005/44/EC allw different interpretatins, n hw infrastructures and services can be implemented n natinal level. Thus it is f utmst imprtance that the results f IRIS Eurpe n the Guideline fr the elabratin f functinal specificatins are used as a starting pint fr future prjects and initiatives dealing with Reference technical and functinal specificatins f RIS systems.

145 7.5 SWP4.3 Implement and mnitr RIS Prjects in EU c-financing Schemes Respnsible Member State: Austria Main bjectives and expected utcme The main bjective f this SWP was t supprt the cmpetent authrities fr RIS f third and candidate cuntries (Bulgaria, Cratia, Rmania, Serbia and Ukraine) in the Danube regin in implementing traffic related RIS Services by means f EU c-financed prgrammes (Phare, IPA, Interreg, CARDS, etc). After the public prcurement f the RIS Systems and Services in Cratia, Serbia and Ukraine, all activities were mnitred at a regular basis Apprach IRIS Eurpe members supprted the cmpetent authrities in the preparatin and implementatin f the natinal RIS prjects by means f infrmatin exchange n e.g. Their transpsitins f the EU RIS Directive int natinal law Bilateral wrkshps in the candidate and third cuntries Prvisin f specificatins n natinal RIS Systems, etc. Representatives f the cmpetent authrities f these cuntries served as bservers f the prject and participated in the IRIS Eurpe Steering Cmmittee, Crdinatin Meetings and Task Frce Meetings at a regular basis. They brught in their natinal requirements in the discussins f IRIS Eurpe and were infrmed n the current status f RIS in ther cuntries. Their participatin in the meetings enabled these authrities t prepare the system specificatins and implementatins in a way that these cnfrm t the related activities in the ther Eurpean cuntries Results f SWP 4.2 At the end f 2008, the status f RIS in the cuntries dwnstream f Hungary can be summarized as fllws: Bulgaria The BulRIS Prject represents the natinal part f the Pan Eurpean System fr assuring effective and safe navigatin n inland waterways. BulRIS was integrated in the Sectral Operatinal Prgramme fr Transprt and was decided t be financed under the Structural and Regin Funds. The establishment f BulRIS will be perfrmed in 3 separate stages: First Phase ( ) - fresees investment which will allw, by the end f 2009, the minimum requirements f the EU RIS Directive t be fulfilled and infrastructure fr the further deplyment f the services t be built up. This stage includes feasibility studies, drafting f the system, tender dcumentatin preparatin, tender prcedures launching and establishment f the basic infrastructure. Currently 3 key tenders prcedures are planed, which relate t the establishment f the telecmmunicatin infrastructure, the establishment f the infrmatin system and the cnstructin f the RIS Centres Secnd Phase ( ) - intents enhancement f the vlume f the services and the system, intrductin f new sensrs like radars, televisin and therm visin cameras, autmatic measurement f the river levels and incrpratin f new functins f the infrmatin system. Third Phase ( ) - will fcus n achievement f the capacity f the system by meaning f services and users, intrductin f new high technlgies, elabratin f lng term frecasts, full autmatin and mdelling f the transprt prcesses, including the lgistic chain Cratia The Cratian Ministry f Transprt assigned CRUP with the implementatin f RIS in Cratia in a series f natinal prjects. Since 2001, CRUP experts participated in the RIS standardisatin and This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 145 f 188

146 deplyment prjects. This prvided the basis fr the rapid RIS Implementatin, which was financed primarily with natinal funds, but als c-financed by EU-Prgrammes such as INTERREG IIIA HR- HU: CRUP set up a RIS test centre, which fcused n traffic mnitring by means f AIS, the prvisin f Inland ECDIS Charts and the prvisin f Ntices t Skippers. All systems cnfrm t the RIS Standards respectively the technical specificatins f the EU RIS Directive. Experts frm CRUP cntributed actively t IRIS Eurpe. CRUP s experts nt nly participated in RIS Crdinatin and Task Frce Meetings, but als implemented the data gateway and cntributed t the tests f data exchange Rmania River Infrmatin Services were implemented in several different steps The preparatin f the tender dcumentatin fr the cmpletin f the technical specificatin and preparatin f the tender dssier fr the prcurement in 2003/2004 financed under the Phare c-financing scheme. The first phase f RIS in Rmania (RRIS Phase I), which was financed under the Phase cfinancing scheme in 2005/2006, fcused n the fllwing items: VHF, Radi Cmmunicatins Netwrk (with ATIS and vice recrding) VTS with radar CCTV and Infrared System Autmatic Identificatin System AIS (maritime and inland) DGPS IALA System Inland ECDIS Ntices t Skippers Electrnic Reprting The secnd phase (RRIS Phase II) is the cmpletin f RIS Services n the Rmanian Danube. This prject was integrated in the Sectral Operatinal Prgramme fr Transprt and was decided t be financed under the Structural and Regin Funds. The executin f RRIS Phase II is planned fr 2009/2010 and it fcuses n the fllwing elements: Serbia Full VHF and AIS cverage f the Rmanian sectr Up-grading f sftware applicatins, in particular Ntices t Skippers and Electrnic Reprting Cncentrating the activities in the reginal RIS centres Exchange f data with ther natinal RIS prviders The Directrate fr Inland Waterways f the Republic f Serbia (Plvput) was active in RIS Implementatin Prjects since This assured knwledge exchange amng the Serbian and ther Eurpean authrities. Plvput included the mdernisatin f inland navigatin thrugh develpment f River Infrmatin Services (RIS) in their strategic guidelines and transpsed majr elements f the RIS Directive int Serbian legislatin. Plvput prvided Inland ECDIS Charts f all Serbian navigable waterways, set up a RIS test centre with AIS cverage f a significant prtin f the River Danube and prvided Ntices t Skippers. Fr the implementatin f all RIS Services, the mst recent RIS Standards, respectively technical specificatins f the RIS Directive were fllwed. In 2007, the Eurpean Agency fr Recnstructin (EAR) decided t launch the full-scale implementatin f River Infrmatin Services in 2 steps. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 146 f 188

147 Step 1 - The preparatin f the tender dcumentatin fr the full scale RIS Implementatin n the Serbian Danube: The prject prvided the Serbian administratin with the cmplete tender dcumentatin in rder t allw the prcurement f a prper River Infrmatin Services system, its implementatin and peratin fr the Serbian stretch f the Danube cmplying with EU RIS Directive (2005/44/EC). Step 1 is expected t be finalized by the end f Step 2 - The full scale RIS Implementatin accrding t the specificatins f Step 1: Step 2 shall mainly deal with the fulfilment f the requirements t prvide RIS Services as specified in the EU RIS Directive, t cmplete AIS cverage and t set up a vessel equipment prgramme fr all gvernmental and apprximately cmmercial vessels. Step 2 is planned fr the timeframe between 2009 and Ukraine The Ukrainian authrities assigned experts t participate in RIS standardisatin and RIS develpment prject in As a cnsequence, these experts knw the RIS deplyment very well. Due t budget restrictin, the absence f EU funds fr the implementatin f RIS and due t the restructuring f the Ministry f Transprt, the RIS deplyment fcused n Electrnic Navigatinal Charts and vessel traffic service fr the maritime Danube. At present, the situatin is as fllws: Electrnic Navigatinal Charts are available fr the Ukrainian Danube Ntices t Skippers and Electrnic reprting are in preparatin Vessel Traffic Management and Infrmatin Systems (VTMIS) are prvided n maritime Danube Tactical traffic infrmatin is installed at ne Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) Centre Summary and cnclusins Summing up, the cperatin within IRIS Eurpe supprted the administratins in charge in preparing pilt systems and allcated the budgets in EU c-financing schemes. In Serbia, Rmania and Bulgaria, (at least) RIS pilt systems are implemented, the full scale implementatin f RIS in these cuntries is planned within the next 3 years. In Cratia, RIS implementatin is very much advanced. The cperatin as cperatin partner within IRIS Eurpe assured the harmnized develpment. In the Ukraine, pilt systems were implemented, but full scale RIS Implementatin is under preparatin, financial supprt frm the EU wuld supprt this.

148 8 WP 5 - Open Issues n Harmnisatin and Standardisatin Respnsible Member States: Austria, Slvakia, Hungary, the Netherlands, France, Belgium 8.1 WP 5 Intrductin and Summary Main bjectives and utcmes f WP 5 The subject f WP 5 was Open issues n harmnisatin and standardisatin and dealt with the RIS architecture, training and educatin f River Infrmatin Services fr the skippers and the analysis f envirnmental impacts f RIS implementatin thrughut Eurpe as a result f the IRIS Eurpe prject. The main bjectives f WP 5 were t: Align the existing COMPRIS functinal RIS Architecture with the Eurpean ITS Framewrk Architecture by means f measures such as the definitin f harmnized rles fr gvernmental RIS Users Elabrate a strategy fr training and educatin f RIS related tpics fr gvernmental and cmmercial RIS users Assess envirnmental impacts f the prject especially with relatin t the Water-Framewrk- Directive and t Natura 2000 The fllwing main results were achieved in WP 5: Definitin f rles fr lgistical and gvernmental RIS Users Outlined training curses fr relevant RIS users in inland navigatin Identified envirnmental impacts f the measures t be executed within this prject Results f WP 5 in shrt Especially in the frame f the specificatins fr the internatinal RIS data exchange, as laid dwn in the RIS Data Exchange Reference dcumentatin, it was identified that harmnised access rights fr users thrughut Eurpe can nly be implemented by means f a rle based authrisatin mechanism. Therefre ne f the first activities f the IRIS Eurpe Task Frce n internatinal RIS data exchange was t elabrate and agree n the gvernmental rles, and t make a prpsal fr the cmmercial / lgistics rles. In a next step the RIS prviders tgether with the RIS authrities assigned access rights n data field level fr the gvernmental users, which are described in detail in the RIS Data Exchange Reference Dcumentatin and als serve as an annex t the Technical and Administrative Agreement. Fr defining the access rights fr the lgistics user, a specialised lgistics task frce was established, cnsisting f representatives f the inland navigatin branch rganisatins. A detailed definitin f the gvernmental / lgistics rles can be fund in the SWP 5.1 reprt and can be seen as the majr cntributin f IRIS Eurpe t the RIS architecture. In SWP 5.2 a cncept fr training and educatin f River Infrmatin Services was elabrated, based n the needs and requirements f the inland navigatin sectr. Originally SWP 5.2 shuld establish a RIS training cncept fr all Eurpean cuntries that have RIS implemented. After a first analysis f previus results related t training and educatin fr RIS it was identified that n user need analysis was available. It was decided t perfrm the initial user needs analysis in Austria, because f the high penetratin f RIS equipment n vessels navigating n the Austrian sectin f the Danube. It is evident that the training and educatin cncept in SWP 5.2 resulting frm the user needs analysis can be applied n Eurpean level, due t its mdularity and cmpleteness in cvering all available RIS technlgies. The pssible diversity f user needs in ther cuntries can be cvered by a suitable chice f training mdules, as indicated in the training and educatin cncept. The Waterway Framewrk Directive (2000/60/EC), the Bird s and Habitat Directive and the Eurpean Impact Assessment Directive demand that all measures t imprve inland navigatin are t be critically reviewed in view f the eclgical impact f the measures. This was dne within SWP 5.3 Envirnmental Impacts. The SWP nly had t assess the envirnmental impact f the measures, set This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 148 f 188

All partner cuntries with EU c-funding in IRIS Eurpe perfrmed an analysis f the envirnmental impacts, cmprising Austria, Slvakia, Hungary, The Netherlands, France (dne within the framewrk f the SIF TEN-T prject) and Belgium (Flanders). 8.2 SWP5.1 RIS Architecture Respnsible Member States: Austria, Slvakia, Hungary, the Netherlands Main bjectives f SWP 5.1 The main bjective f SWP 5.1 is the definitin f rles fr gvernmental and lgistical RIS Users. The expected utcmes: Identify user rles necessary fr the implementatin f the user rights management within the natinal and internatinal exchange f RIS data Review existing user rles as defined within the COMPRIS prject and identify necessary amendments Elabrate definitins fr the identified user rles n basis f the existing definitins Get feedback and agreement n the defined user rles frm the participants f the technical RIS data exchange task frce as well as the lgistics task frce Results f SWP 5.1 The table belw illustrates the achievement f the expected utcmes f SWP 5.1: Status Activities in SWP 5.1 related t RIS architecture AT SK HU NL Identificatin f user rles necessary fr the implementatin f the user rights management within the natinal and internatinal exchange f RIS data Review f the existing user rles as defined within the COMPRIS prject and identify necessary amendments Elabratin f definitins fr the identified user rles n basis f the existing definitins Agreement n the defined user rles Table 35: Results f SWP 5.1 Identificatin f user rles: The mtivatin fr the elabratin and exact definitin f the user rles arse ut the decisin t implement a rle-based access rights mechanism fr all users participating in the natinal and internatinal exchange f RIS data. It is a pre-cnditin that all cuntries participating in the internatinal exchange f RIS data have implemented and defined exactly the same individual user rles in rder t ensure apprpriate filtering f data t which a user f a certain user rle has n access. Review f existing user rles definitins and elabratin f user rles definitins: The basis fr the elabratin f the user rles was the already existing user rles definitin f the COMPRIS prject. First f all, all inland navigatin related actrs where listed and cmpared t the COMPRIS definitin. It was fund ut that a high number f the existing COMPRIS definitins are apprpriate and thse were kept. In sme cases new user rles had t be defined r existing nes had t be redefined.

153 8.3 SWP5.2 Training and Educatin Respnsible Member States: Austria, Slvakia, Hungary Based n the definitin f the IRIS Eurpe sub wrk package 5.2 a cncept fr training and educatin f River Infrmatin Services was established. The definitin f the sub wrk package f the IRIS Eurpe Wrk plan demands t establish a training cncept fr all Eurpean cuntries that have implemented RIS. The fllwing chapters describe: the resulting cncept fr training and educatin frm the evaluatin f the interviews, the training requirements are pinted ut. Eurpean apprach twards training and educatin f River Infrmatin Services Cncept fr Training and Educatin The analysis f interviews shwed a strng need, frm the inland navigatin sectr, fr RIS trainings. Accrding t this a cncept fr training and educatin f inland skippers was elabrated. Cncerning this prject the target grup are the skippers f the inland navigatin cmpanies. Regarding t this indepth analysis the target grup is separated int tw parts; n the ne side are the skippers and n the ther side are the students still in apprenticeship t becme skippers. In the fllwing chapters: a cncept fr training, which is divided int the River Shws and the Training Mdules and a cncept fr educatin is intrduced Cncept fr Training A cncept fr training and educatin was established, arranged in tw stages fr the duratin f five years. The first stage is t give the user an insight in RIS and the secnd stage is n an already higher level. It is thught t be sme kind f advanced curse with different training mdules. On the ne side there will be River Shws t give a general verview and an explanatin n the system RIS, its technlgies and services and n the ther side the technlgies will be separated int mdules t give a specific educatin n the system. The River Shws and the Mdules are tw ttally different things. One can attend a technlgy mdule, e.g. Inland ECDIS, withut ever having attended a River Shw. Fr the precise mdule training previus knwledge in the field f River Infrmatin Services wuld be preferable thugh. At the end f the trainings, after five years, all f the skippers and inland navigatin cmpanies shuld be experts in the field f River Infrmatin Services. Therefre nly trainings fr future technlgies, maybe value added services, will be ffered. The River Shws and the basic mdules fr AIS, ECDIS, NtS and ERI shall be dispsed fr that reasn. Five years are lng enugh fr everybdy t participate in trainings. The River Shws and the Mdules are explained in the fllwing pints. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 153 f 188

154 River Shws Figure 66: Cncept fr Training and Educatin The majrity f the RIS users dn t knw what kinds f pprtunities RIS ffer. This is ne f the biggest prblems in the field f RIS. Skippers dn t knw much abut the different technlgies n the market and dn t knw hw t handle the technlgies available n their vessels. This results frm the pr infrmatin, given in advance, accrding t RIS. Therefre it is cnsidered t establish, s called River Shws. These River Shws shall give the users a gd and tight verview, in terms f presentatins, n RIS. In these presentatins the system as a whle shall be intrduced with all the advantages it brings fr the inland navigatin. In additin the technlgies and the different services ffered by them will be explained. After the user will be familiarized with River Infrmatin Services the different pprtunities (f. e. the linking f the AIS Transpnder with the ECDIS Viewer- tactical traffic image) RIS implicate will be pinted ut. Once again, the River Shws are nly used fr a first clarificatin f facts, t give the skippers a general idea f River Infrmatin Services. The River Shws are intended t last fr at least tw years. The duratin depends n the interest f the cncerned cmpanies. Cmpanies are nt required t attend a River Shw befre the deepening f the different technlgies, as given in training mdules, can be taken Training Mdules The mdules are planned t give the skipper a precise theretical and practical training in the different kinds f RIS technlgies (AIS, ECDIS, ERI and NtS). The fur River Infrmatin Services technlgies are separated int different training mdules. This mdular apprach was chsen because f: The trainings were arranged in mdules, because mdules can be adpted by all the Eurpean cuntries that have RIS implemented. Fr that reasn mdules are the best slutin t the prblem. Mdules can be created individually regarding t the integrated technlgies in the cuntry. Mrever the cncerning states just have t create wn curse mdules which can be based n the drafted nes in this thesis. It is essential t arrange flexible trainings, since the wrking cnditins f the target grup are nt the easiest t rganize curses. Skippers dn t have much time available fr trainings and because f the fact that it is nt easy t reach students as well, training mdules were made. In additin the educatin t becme a skipper varies frm Eurpean state t state. T becme an inland skipper, in Austria ne has t make an apprenticeship at an inland navigatin cmpany. In the western part f Eurpe this is basically the same. (e.g. the Netherlands and This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 154 f 188

155 Germany). Hwever this is nt the same with the eastern part f Eurpe. In Eastern Eurpe the educatin standard fr skippers is n an academic level. With training mdules it will be n prblem t adapt the curses based n the persnal needs. Respnding t the abve mentined educatin situatin in the inland navigatin it was the best t make mdules, because f the different educatinal standards all ver Eurpe. Other than this, nt every vessel has the same equipment. Mst f the vessels are nly prly equipped with partly ld technlgies. Therefre mdules were selected, t educate the captains, because mdules can be created separately meaning that they dn t have t be based upn each ther. S it is pssible fr the skippers t attend any kind f curse they want t withut needing any special kind f technlgy they dn t have available. The mdule trainings are cnsidered t last fr the duratin f three years. Basically they are intended t start after the River Shws are cncluded. Hwever if a cmpany is already familiar with the RIS system as a whle, it wn t be a prblem t make curses cncerning the technlgy in advance. Mdule trainings in Austria fr example will be arranged at via dnau RIS demnstratin center in Vienna. Fr sure it will be a pssibility t rganize trainings at different lcatins alng the Danube as well, but this is nt deliberated yet. First f all it has t be identified if the River Shws are attractive t the peple and especially if the cncept f turing with the River Shws alng the main waterways (e.g. the Danube) is appealing Cncept fr Educatin Fr the apprentices it is thught, that they als attend River Shws and the different kinds f training mdules. When the perid f trainings is ver, als the prfessinal schls fr inland navigatin have t integrate River Infrmatin Services in their curriculum. It is nt intended t act as an wn subject. RIS shall be a part f the whle educatin, like inland navigatin wuldn t be the same withut River Infrmatin Services Structure f Trainings River Shws The example belw illustrates hw a River Shw in Austria culd lk like.

158 8.3.3 RIS educatin and trainings in Eurpe Figure 69: Structure f exemplary NtS Training Mdules As the prject definitin demands, a training cncept fr skippers cncerning River Infrmatin Services has t be established. The abve-mentined training cncepts and requirements are all based upn ne member state, in this case reflecting the Austrian inland navigatin situatin. Hwever this training cncept is adaptive t all Eurpean cuntries. Accrding t this prject, an analysis f the Austrian inland navigatin cnditins regarding t the RIS acceptance and the acceptance f trainings was made. Based n this analysis a cncept fr training and educatin was established. The training cncept cnsists f tw parts, the River Shws and the Mdule Training. Bth can be adapted withut any prblems by the IRIS Eurpe partners. First f all an analysis f needs cncerning skippers and River Infrmatin Services has t be made fr all cuntries. Only with an analysis f needs the develper f the trainings can respnd t the requirements f the skippers t 100%. Hwever if the develper has nt enugh time t make an analysis f needs, the cncept fr the River Shws and the Mdules can be taken and based upn this draft, a cncept regarding t the implemented technlgies f the cuntry can be established. Fr the training requirements it wuld be gd thugh t make an analysis, because then the best times fr trainings and ther issues culd be figured ut. Implementatin f the River Shws Accrding t the RIS systems and RIS services the cuntry ffers, the River Shws have t be created. Fr example, ne can take the agenda f the River Shws that is based n the Austrian RIS implementatin and just adapt it t their natinal requirements. Implementatin f training mdules The same applies fr the mdules. Cncerning the systems, a cuntry ffers, the mdules just have t be adapted. Fr mst f the systems the part with the basics can be applied and nly the exercises have d be created individually. Hwever the cncept fr the mdules set a gd example fr the develper t knw what the trainings shuld lk like. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 158 f 188

160 8.5 SWP5.3 Envirnmental Impacts in Hungary Respnsible Member State: Hungary IRIS Eurpe has many psitive impacts n the envirnment. The safety, efficiency and security f the transprt system can be imprved with this prject. This will lead t mre transprts with the envirnmentally friendly mde f transprt inland navigatin. The implementatin f such services will reduce cngestin n inland waterways, because arrival times at certain pints can be ptimised, and due t this pssible emissins will decrease. In additin t the Waterway Framewrk Directive (2000/60/EC), which entered int frce n 22 December 2000, the Bird s and Habitat Directive and the Eurpean Impact Assessment Directive, demand that all measures t imprve inland navigatin are t be critically reviewed in view f the eclgical impact f the measures. The physical interventins in the framewrk f IRIS Eurpe in Hungary are limited. In thse cases where physical interventins are necessary, antennas are mstly munted t already existing masts (e.g. the masts f the GSM netwrk peratrs) r n buildings in the vicinity f the river. At mst f these lcatins, ther antennas had already been installed, s the additinal physical interventin can basically be neglected. On the cntrary, IRIS Eurpe will aim at the preparatin f telematics services fr increased safety, efficiency and security, and mving inland navigatin t a sustainable way f transprt. These services will cntribute t the prmtin f inland navigatin, an envirnmentally friendly mde f transprt in itself. The implementatin f such services has the ptential t reduce the number f accidents, cngestin n inland waterways and this way reduce pssible emissins, il spills and enhances the mnitring f prper waste dispsal. Within the IRIS Eurpe prject the fllwing planned wrk is f relevance in the cntext f develpment and implementatin f services, applicatins and systems and therefre might be ptentially f interest fr an envirnmental impact analysis within Hungary: SWP SWP Name Type f wrk Infrastructure set up 1.2 Pilt amendment in Hungary Pilt Implementatin Yes 1.4 Traffic Infrmatin Data Exchange Pilt Implementatin Yes 1.6 Subsidy Prgramme fr RIS Equipment Study N 2.2 Electrnic Reprting, Pilt Develpment / Implementatin in Hungary Pilt Implementatin Yes 2.5 Electrnic Reprting, Crss-Brder Services Pilt Implementatin and Testing Pilt Implementatin Yes 2.6 Hull Database Specificatin and Develpment Study N 2.7 Hull Data Exchange Pilt Implementatin Pilt Implementatin Yes 3.1 Waste Management Service Study N 3.2 Calamity Abatement Service Pilt Implementatin N Table 39: Types f wrk in IRIS Eurpe - Hungary In the curse f IRIS Eurpe majr infrastructure has nt been set up (nly PCs, laptps and n-bard AIS equipment), but fr the future the cnsideratin f the fllwing envirnmental aspects has t be made (same as experienced and fulfilled during the DaTraM prject): This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 160 f 188

Perid f peratin In the curse f the peratin f radi technlgy equipment, the energy cntaining useful infrmatin and t be emitted thrugh the antenna can be cnsidered as pllutant envirnmentally; besides, the heat quantities dissipated by the equipment can be cnsidered as waste. As regards the lcatin f the VHF antennas installed, their cmplete separatin is nt ensured; n bard the ships, n unauthrized persnnel can get int the immediate prximity f the antennas. In the cases included in the design, the emitted electrmagnetic field intensity is belw the value specified in the applicable standard (Decree 63/2004 (VII.26.) ESZCSM), therefre n deleterius envirnmental impact needs t be accunted fr. Waste The waste generated in the curse f installatin wrks must be remved frm the premises after cmpletin f the wrks. The waste generated in the curse f installatin can be cnsidered as husehld waste (wd, paper, small amunts f metal, plastic), therefre it des nt require special treatment. Summary This design chapter and the technical designs serving as a basis expressly state that radi cnnectins d nt result in any deleterius envirnmental impact in case f the planned design, neither in the curse f installatin nr in the curse f peratin. N special envirnmental slutins are required t be designed. The installer must prvide evidence f cmpliance with the labur safety and envirnment prtectin requirements applicable t the facility cmpleted in the frm f a written statement and by dcuments prescribed in ther regulatins after finishing the wrks. 8.6 SWP5.3 Envirnmental Impacts in Austria Respnsible Member State: Austria Main bjective The envirnmental impacts f the prjects initiated under the framewrk f IRIS Eurpe are identified and assessed in a reprt n SWP 5.3.

All ther SWPs f IRIS Eurpe have either the character f a study elabrating pssible future RIS services r are limited t rganisatinal r administrative issues Summary The physical interventins in the framewrk f IRIS Eurpe in Austria are limited. In the DRIS prject where physical interventins were necessary, antennas were mstly munted t already existing masts (e.g. the masts f the GSM netwrk peratrs) r n buildings in the vicinity f the river. At mst f these lcatins, ther antennas had already been installed, s the additinal physical interventin can basically be neglected. In 5 ut 23 cases the installatin f antennas was subject t the federal nature prtectin laws. Apprval under nature prtectin law was given in all f these cases with a limited number f cnditins. These cnditins culd be fulfilled withut prblems (e.g. in terms f landscape-cmpatible clur f the antenna). As is cnfirmed by the fficial apprval by the respnsible administratins, the implementatin f the prpsed measures in the framewrk f IRIS- Eurpe will therefre nt have detrimental effects n the envirnment. On the cntrary, IRIS Eurpe aimed at the preparatin f telematics services fr increased safety, efficiency and security. These services cntribute the prmtin f inland navigatin. The implementatin f such services has the ptential t reduce the number f accidents, cngestin n inland waterways and this way reduce pssible emissins and il spills and enhances the mnitring f prper waste dispsal.

This is a sftware acquisitin, which will have n negative impact n the envirnment in the Netherlands Waste Management Waste Management in Eurpe is gverned by a number f treaties. In the Netherlands this is restricted t the Waste management treaty. The Shipping Waste Treaty is an agreement between the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, France and Switzerland wherein each cuntry has made individual agreements n hw t deal with il and greasy waste streams, washing water, lading remains, dirt water, husehld wastewater, husehld garbage and small hazardus waste in inland shipping. The treaty was signed in 1996 and has cme int frce recently. The treaty cnsists f the fllwing three parts: Part A: Waste cntaining grease and il; Part B: Carg-related waste; Part C: All ther waste. The Services ffered by RIS at present r in the near future are first and fremst related t safety cnsideratins n the Eurpean waterways, but can als supprt waste management. AIS, inland ECDIS charts and NTS (ntice t the skippers) are examples f such services. AIS can be used t pint ut the lcatin f the nearest waste-cllecting vessel (bilge bat). Inland ECDIS charts can be used t pint ut lcatins f waste cllectin including their capacity and pening hurs. The Ntices t Skippers standard can be used t give infrmatin abut the availability f cllectin pints. In the Netherlands, the implementatin f the RIS related Waste Management findings d nt invlve any structural r physical changes, which may have impact n the Envirnment. Mnitring and cntrlling waste management require the extensin f the use f RIS services. These findings may invlve sftware extensins and the develpment f interfaces t existing systems. Fr the Netherlands these aspect will nt have any detrimental effect n the Envirnment. On the cntrary it will psitively enhance the Waste Management prcess in prviding up-t-date and accurate relevant infrmatin Calamity Abatement Supprt RIS incrprates many services. One f them is the Calamity Abatement Supprt (CAS) mdule, which shuld facilitate the data transfer between peple invlved in tackling the incident r accident. Hence, this can be n bth a natinal and internatinal scale. CAS nt nly realises the data flw, but it als determines what infrmatin t be sent based n a classificatin f the calamity. Structured lgging f infrmatin is perfrmed as well and aims at facilitating the data cllectin fr the recnstructin f the calamity. Different Eurpean cuntries (Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Netherlands, Rmania, and Slvakia) have cntributed t set up best practices fr this CAS mdule. Additinally, literature has been reviewed with respect t different accident/incident classificatin systems. The Netherlands has currently a specific Calamity Abatement Supprt Mdule, fr the registratin f an accident/incident and disseminatin t the relevant calamity abatement frce, available. The findings as stipulated in the results f the study are f prcedural natures. They present n negative impact n the envirnment. On the cntrary the implementatin f CAS will enhance the calamity abatement prcess by prviding real-time infrmatin t emergency services during the ccurrence f a calamity Envirnmental impact f RIS implementatin in the Netherlands The prvisin f telematics infrmatin services t supprt traffic and transprt management (River Infrmatin Services - RIS) will cmpensate the current infrmatin weakness f inland waterway transprt.

The implementatin f RIS in Eurpe will further enhance the envirnmental friendliness f inland navigatin. Therefre, RIS will significantly cntribute t the achievement f envirnmental gals (such as defined in the Kyt Prtcl). In additin, RIS will cntribute significantly t the re-balancing f mdal shares, and hence supprt sustainability f the Eurpean freight transprt system. The implementatin f RIS in The Netherlands will be fully in line and will even g beynd the bligatins as defined in the RIS Directive. Full implementatin is hwever freseen utside the scpe f IRIS Eurpe. The envirnmental impact f IRIS Eurpe is fr the Netherlands restricted but psitive.

166 8.8 SWP5.3 Envirnmental Impacts in Flanders Respnsible Member State: Belgium Intrductin Flanders is invlved in the IRIS prject via Sub Wrkgrup Package 3.2. In fact, the main task f Flanders is t lead SWP 3.2 Calamity Abatement Services as wrk package leader. It is crystal-clear that the implementatin f RIS in Eurpe will trigger a number f psitive cnsequences: the mnitring system will cntribute t a safer and even better synchrnized shipping traffic, mainly thanks t the use f the high-tech applicatins and ther data transmissin systems. CRIS, which crdinate the implementatin f RIS in Flanders, has als investigated t what extent these beneficial interventins als have a drawback. Are there any damaging cnsequences fr envirnment and/r living cnditins? This investigatin resulted in the fllwing cnclusins: The use f high-tech infrmatin systems will mst definitely result in a cnsiderable imprvement f the guiding f inland shipping, withut any negative impact n the envirnment r dwnsides fr living cnditins. Instead, the implementatin f CAS will reduce negative impacts n the envirnment by acting very quick and accurate in case f a calamity Calamity Abatement Services: Best practices This study aims t give an verview f the existing prcedures, infrmatin needs and available and desirable data in the different participating cuntries. The task f a RIS-centre is t infrm all invlved actrs in time and in a crrect and efficient way. A RIS-peratr will never crdinate a calamity, but will ffer supprt by prviding fast and crrect infrmatin t the actrs n the field. In this way, the impact f calamities as well as the number f bstructins that result frm this can be reduced. The ultimate aim must be hwever t map calamities in detail at all times and t act upn them in a meticulus way. T that extent, a Eurpean unifrm classificatin system is used, enabling any partner t name in a unifrm way a well-defined calamity (fr example il-pllutin) by using standard parameters such as degree f seriusness and the invlved risk (be it direct r indirect), e.g. the calamity is life-threatening fr the cncerned, ther shippers r peple living in the neighburhd Cnclusin The physical interventins in the framewrk f IRIS Eurpe in Belgium (Flanders) are nt applicable, since the cntributin f Flanders is limited t carry ut a feasibility study, resulting in a best practice n a Eurpean level. 8.9 SWP5.3 Envirnmental Impacts in France Respnsible Member State: France Intrductin, main bjectives IRIS Eurpe has many psitive impacts n the envirnment. The safety, efficiency and security f the transprt system can be imprved with this prject. This will lead t mre transprts with the envirnmentally friendly mde f transprt inland navigatin. The implementatin f such services will reduce cngestin n inland waterways, because arrival times at lcks can be ptimised, and due t this pssible emissins will decrease. The applicable natinal and reginal envirnmental laws as well planning and regulatins, needed fr the implementatin f RIS, are presented in this reprt. All necessary measures initiated in the framewrk f IRIS-Eurpe as well as thse needed fr the implementatin f SIF Seine-Scheldt prject in France were described in the Iris Envirnmental Impact analysis activities in France reprt.

The vessel arrives sner, and culd be re used sner t. The vessel use becmes better and better, and ffers mre pssibilities t the skipper fr having a new cntract faster. The Envirnmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive requires that Member States shall adpt all measures necessary t ensure that, befre cnsent is given, prjects likely t have significant effects n the envirnment by virtue, inter alia, f their nature, size r lcatin are made subject t a requirement fr develpment cnsent and an assessment with regard t their effects. The EIA Directive requires that direct and indirect effects f a prject n the fllwing factrs shall be identified, described and assessed: human beings, fauna and flra; sil, water, air, climate and the landscape; material assets and the cultural heritage; the interactin between the factrs mentined in the first, secnd and third indents Cnclusin The implementatin f RIS des nt cause significant effects n the envirnment n Envirnmental Impact Assessment is required. The envirnmental impacts f the required infrastructural measures in France are all assessed under natinal French law: fr instance, the envirnmental cmpatibility f infrastructural measures implemented is certified by the apprval under the Envirnmental Cde (Envirnment prtectin law) in France.

The main bjectives f WP 6 were t: Manage and cntrl the timetable and the expenses within the prject Crdinate the activities within the prject Disseminate and explit prject results external t the prject Crdinate the activities f the prject with relevant activities utside the prject Disseminate results t the RIS Cmmittee and the Eurpean Cmmissin Results f WP6 The main bjective f SWP 6.1 Prject Management was t manage the prject, with the primary task t cntrl results f the prject versus spent resurces and time schedule cmpared t the wrkplan and t set crrective actins if required. As IRIS Eurpe was a multi-natinal prject, the main respnsibility laid upn the beneficiaries in the individual Member States. In rder t ensure a harmnised apprach, a prject management team was set up (details see next chapter), als because f the fact that there were n dedicated WP-leaders in the prject. One main prject management instrument was intrduced fr the crdinatin between the Eurpean Cmmissin, Prject Management Team, Beneficiaries and rganisatins in charge f executing the wrk by means f regular crdinatin meetings, which were held in time intervals f apprximately 3 mnths. Within the crdinatin meetings mainly technical and rganisatinal decisins were made. Fr decisin supprt between the Beneficiaries f the Member States and the Eurpean Cmmissin, regular Steering Cmmittee meetings were held in time intervals f apprximately 6 mnths. In additin t the prject management, the rganisatin in charge f SWP6.1 ensured that in thse cuntries, where neither the RIS authrity, nr the RIS prviders were prject partners, at least ne representative frm these cuntries participated in the technical wrk f the Expert Grups fr River Infrmatin Services and in their taskfrces. The bjective f SWP 6.2 Disseminatin was t disseminate the results f the prject t the natinal and internatinal stakehlders. This was dne by means f the fllwing measures: Stakehlder Grup Meetings Presentatin at cnferences Overall Prject hmepage and natinal prject websites Leaflets, Flders All prject partners were respnsible fr disseminatin f IRIS Eurpe results t their natinal stakehlders, and t utilise apprpriate means fr disseminatin f results.

The Steering Cmmittee f IRIS Eurpe is cmpsed f the natinal beneficiaries wh are in mst cases als the natinal delegates t the RIS Authrity accrding t the 2005/44/EC (EU RIS Directive) f the invlved cuntries f IRIS Eurpe. The Steering Cmmittee Meetings tk place nce in 2006, twice in 2007, twice in 2008 and will take place nce again in Majr management decisins are taken by the Steering Cmmittee with relatin t IRIS Eurpe. The prject management team will be invited t the Steering Cmmittee Meetings. Prject Management Team The prject management team is subrdinated t the Steering Cmmittee f IRIS Eurpe. The members f the prject management team are respnsible fr mnitring the prgress at a strategic level and can give advices t the natinal crdinatrs r SWP Leaders. Management Level The Austrian members f the prject management team (Mr. Andreas Bäck until July 2008, Mr. Mari Sattler as f August 2008) cmmunicates with the Eurpean Cmmissin Prject Officer, the TEN-T EA prject fficer and the Steering Cmmittee n regular basis and spreads the infrmatin/advices t the clleagues in the prject management team and the natinal crdinatrs. By default, the Dutch members (Mr. Cas Willems and Mr. Js van Splunder) f the prject management team have a special respnsibility twards the SWPs lead by experts frm the Rhine-Seine regin. By default, the Austrian member f the prject management team has a special respnsibility twards the SWPs lead by experts frm the Danube regin. The prject management team can re-shuffle the respnsibilities twards individual SWPs. Meetings: Regular Crdinatin meetings, Prject Management Team meetings and meetings with natinal crdinatrs were held n demand. This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 171 f 188

172 Natinal Level Natinal C-rdinatrs The Natinal C-rdinatrs deal with crdinatin and the fllw up f all natinal activities regarding timetable, budget, and milestnes at a tactical level. Mrever, they are respnsible that the SWPs are executed accrding t the wrkplan and reprts and/r cntributins t these f their cuntry are elabrated. The Austrian, respectively the Dutch members f the prject management team, supprt the natinal crdinatrs in case f natinal issues in their regin. Furthermre it must be ensured that the natinal crdinatrs reprt t and crdinate with the natinal Beneficiaries. Meetings: Regular Crdinatin meetings, Steering Cmmittee meetings were held n demand.

The SWP leaders are determined fr each sub wrk package at the sub wrk package level. Shuld it nt be evident, the prject management team shall make a decisin n SWP lead. Meetings: Regular status meetings, Crdinatin meetings were held n demand. The RIS Expert Grups were established t standardise and harmnise the RIS key technlgies. Within IRIS Eurpe, these are used t disseminate the results t ther cuntries, which are nt invlved in the prject (e.g. Germany). This applies t the RIS Expert Grups Electrnic Reprting Internatinal, Ntices t Skippers, Tracking & Tracing and Inland ECDIS. Meetings: Regular Expert Grup meetings, mst f the time twice a year. Table 42: Crdinatin Instruments and their respnsibilities 9.3 SWP 6.1 Liaisn with Mtrways f the Sea and Shrt Sea Shipping Intrductin Maritime safety, efficiency, security and prtectin f the envirnment are inextricably linked. Supprted by the Eurpean Cmmissin (EC) Green Paper Twards a future Maritime Plicy fr the Unin, a requirement has been clearly identified fr cherent, transparent, efficient and simplified slutins supprting cperatin, interperability and cnsistency between member States, systems and sectrs, and placing emphasis n prmting the rle f the maritime industry. The EC is prmting the develpment f E-Maritime, a meeting f services and systems, in respnse t the need fr a mre transparent and harmnized apprach within the maritime sectr in general in rder t secure its psitin as a leading transprt mde. In the Freight Transprt Actin Plan f the Eurpean Cmmissin (COM (2007) 607 final) the fllwing statements derived frm this actin plan are f relevance fr the RIS develpments and standardisatin prcesses in the future: This prject is c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin page 172 f 188

173 There is a need fr the implementatin f a system fr maritime exchange f infrmatin frm ship t shre, shre t ship and between all stakehlders. Services such as SafeSeaNet, LRIT and AIS, will facilitate safer and mre expedient navigatin and lgistics peratins, thereby imprving maritime transprt's integratin with ther transprt mdes ("e-maritime"). Standards are required fr infrmatin flws t ensure the integratin and interperability f mdes at data level and prvide an pen and rbust data architecture primarily fr businesst-administratin and administratin-t administratin data flws.

174 The IRIS Eurpe prject has been cnnected t the EC c-funded 6th Framewrk prject MarNIS (Maritime Navigatin and Infrmatin Services) which is cntributing t the develpment f E-Maritime f DG TREN. The fcus f this prject is placed n the imprved exchange f infrmatin and prvisin f services and the required infrastructure t meet the requirements placed n bth the authrity and business level. The stakehlders may include n the ne hand the ship itself, tgether with the ship wner, peratr and agent, and n the ther hand shre-based entities, including maritime authrities (e.g. Search and Rescue (SAR), castal and prt), related authrities (e.g. custms and immigratin) and cmmercial parties within the prt sectr. MarNIS prpses means t put an end t present fragmentatin f measures in place thrugh the develpment f a cncept where resurces, systems and services are rganised and strengthened int ne cherent set f measures. Develpments have led t the MarNIS cncept which, thrugh its integrated apprach, allws fr safer and mre efficient shipping, whilst supprting the prtectin f the envirnment and facilitating the need fr security, thereby meeting the requirements f plicy makers, authrities, prts and related industries. The MarNIS cncept is develping means whereby the Master is nly required t reprt nce, all ther updates are being fed autmatically int the infrmatin messaging structure and passed n t the relevant authrities. Early reprting leads t imprved planning fr prts and related nautical services thrugh enhanced traffic rganisatin services and the integral traffic plan. A messaging structure designed t invlve all authrities, nt nly maritime, is under develpment s that the passage f a ship may be as safe, efficient and secure as pssible whilst rendering less threat t the envirnment as a cnsequence f incidents. At the heart f the MarNIS cncept is the infrmatin and infrmatin exchange structure. Simplificatin f reprting requirements and the creatin f interperability between different member State systems and sectrs prvide fr cherence, transparency and efficiency. Based n the single reprting frm the Master and/r agent all prcesses can begin. Elements f the emaritime/marnis infrastructure Vessel and agent: Under current Directives and varius regulatins and rules, the Master is faced with a tremendus reprting burden, ften having t send the same infrmatin numerus times t numerus different authrities. In the MarNIS cncept the Master is required t reprt nce thrugh the prt ntificatin t the prt f destinatin. All relevant authrities and services are then prvided with required infrmatin thrugh the Natinal Single Windw. Authrities: Authrities requiring infrmatin frm waterbrne traffic and transprt are numerus and fall under the traditinal authrities, such as prt, castal, search and rescue and pllutin, r ther authrities such as security, custms, immigratin, health and brder cntrl. Each currently makes use f their wn means fr maritime infrmatin management and wuld benefit frm increased access t data and interperability. The MarNIS cncept prvides fr a harmnised and cherent system fr the exchange f all relevant infrmatin. SafeSeaNet++ (SSN++): SafeSeaNet currently acts as an index server, allwing the authrized user t find infrmatin n ntificatins, carg manifests, vyage histry and incident histry. Basic data is held within the SSN system whilst cntact pints are prvided fr further infrmatin n, fr example, dangerus r hazardus gds. The MarNIS cncept envisages an expansin and strengthening f the rle f SSN int the s-called SSN++, prviding a mre efficient service thrugh cnnectins t the Natinal Single Windws (NSW) and mre added-value thrugh generatin f ntificatins t castal authrities n ships likely t pass thrugh their areas f jurisdictin. Natinal Single Windw (NSW): Under MarNIS, each member State maintains a Natinal Single Windw, receiving ntificatins frm ships intending t enter a prt in it s waters and ensuring the directed distributin f derived messages t the prt, ther authrities (such as custms, immigratin etc.) as well as handling requests fr infrmatin r clarificatin. The NSW is the cntact pint fr SSN++ and ensures that the apprpriate infrmatin is in the first place made available within the index server and secndly available t requesting authrities frm ther member States.

175 Prt Cmmercial Cmmunity Systems (PCCS): The cnsiderable investment that prts and their cmmunities have made in systems aimed at the facilitatin f infrmatin exchange shuld nt be ignred but embraced in the verall MarNIS cncept. T this end the s-called MarNIS Nde allws fr cmmunicatin between different PCCS in different prts as well as feeding the PSW with the required infrmatin. 9.4 SWP 6.1 Liaisn with Eurpean RIS Platfrm After the finalisatin f the EU Research Prject INDRIS, the invlved waterway and traffic authrities decided t set up an infrmal wrking grup f plicy makers, called Eurpean RIS Platfrm. This bdy discussed RIS strategies n plitical and administratinal level. During the lifetime f IRIS Eurpe, the Eurpean RIS Platfrm cnvened several meetings (e.g. n in Prague). Selected representatives f IRIS Eurpe participated in thse meetings f the Eurpean RIS Platfrm and reprted n the prgress f IRIS Eurpe. This way, the results f IRIS Eurpe culd be disseminated als t the Eurpean RIS Platfrm. 9.5 SWP 6.1 Liaisn with RIS Cmmittee The rle f the RIS Cmmittee is defined in Article 1 f the EU RIS Directive: This Directive prvides a framewrk fr the establishment and further develpment f technical requirements, specificatins and cnditins t ensure harmnised, interperable and pen RIS n the Cmmunity inland waterways. Such establishment and further develpment f technical requirements, specificatins and cnditins shall be carried ut by the Cmmissin, assisted by the Cmmittee referred t in Article 11. The main bjectives f the liaisn with the RIS Cmmittee were the fllwing: T infrm the members f the RIS Cmmittee, in particular thse wh did nt cntribute t the IRIS Eurpe Steering Cmmittee, n the current status f IRIS Eurpe. This was required during the first 2 years f the prject in rder t disseminate the prject results t the Eurpean authrities in a better way. T btain the latest infrmatin n the activities f the RIS Cmmittee, in particular the status f the freseen technical specificatins, which are relevant fr the pilt implementatins f IRIS Eurpe. During the prject lifetime f IRIS Eurpe, fur RIS Cmmittee meetings were cnvened. IRIS Eurpe was represented during 3 ut f 4 RIS Cmmittee meetings. The 3 rd meeting f the RIS Cmmittee was cnvened in Brussels n Andreas Bäck was invited as head f the prject management team t present the current status f IRIS Eurpe. His presentatin fcused n the freseen apprach fr the implementatin f the natinal and internatinal data exchange. The recmmendatins included the fllwing items: A legally binding agreement fr internatinal RIS Data Exchange especially cnsidering data privacy shuld be established A technical specificatin f internatinal interfaces shuld be prepared Perfrmance Standard fr RIS Services shuld be prepared. The 4 th meeting f the RIS Cmmittee was cnvened in Brussels n Andreas Bäck reprted n the status f IRIS Eurpe.
