3 DGPS INITAL OPERATIONAL SERVICE The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) announces that the Differential Global Positioning Service (DGPS ) Initial Operational Service (IOS) is available for positioning and navigation. IOS means the service will provide a DGPS broadcast using the type 9 RTCM message for pseudorange corrections at a data transmission rate of 200 baud. Refer to Radio Aids to Marine Navigation (RAMN) for estimated advertised coverage for each differential station. Although the service is IOS, users may experience service interruptions without advance notice. Further, CCG advises that IOS DGPS broadcasts should not be used under any circumstances where a sudden system failure or inaccuracy could constitute a safety hazard. Following a one year verification period, the DGPS service will be declared as being a Full Operational Service (FOS). Users are also advised that differential corrections are based on the NAD 83 datum position of the reference station antenna and positions obtained using DGPS should be referenced to this coordinate system only. DGPS receivers must be set to the WGS 84 datum in order to obtain optimum positioning accuracy. Table of Stage 1 DGPS Reference Stations Station Name Id Nos of Ref.

5 DGPS USER ALERT Currently, seventeen DGPS stations are providing Initial Operational Service (IOS) in Canada. The DGPS station at Rigolet, Labrador will be installed in November 30/98. Extensive validation of operational performance is being conducted throughout Full Operational Service (FOS) will follow after successful validation. Mariners are reminded to use caution when using DGPS until the Service is declared fully operational. The Canadian Coast Guard has recently received reports of DGPS receivers apparently ignoring the broadcast alarm which should signal the immediate discontinuation of a particular satellite correction. Reports indicate that some user equipment does not properly recognize this do-not-use correction flag and as a result erroneously processes it as a correction. This can result in position errors as large as 15 kilometers while the receiver is in DGPS mode. DGPS users are advised that they should contact the manufacturer of their equipment immediately to determine if they require a receiver upgrade. Apart from this, no major difficulties with DGPS implementation have been experienced to date nor are any expected in the future. DISCREPANCY REPORT FOR DGPS USERS. The Canadian Coast Guard is currently implementing the Differential Global Positioning System in Canada. Currently, seventeen DGPS stations are providing Initial Operational Service (IOS) in Canada. The DGPS station at Rigolet, Labrador will be installed in November 30/98. Following a service validation period, it is expected that the DGPS service will be announced as providing a Full Operational Service (FOS) in March The fully operational DGPS service is expected to meet the advertised Levels of Service standards and all service guarantees will be provided with FOS. Throughout the service validation period, the Coast Guard will be conducting numerous tests of the differential service. To assist the Coast Guard in this validation testing, mariners are requested to complete the attached anomoly report. Please take note of any DGPS service anomalies you experience and forward the completed form to the Director Marine Aids, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 200 Kent Street, Station 5130, Ottawa, ON, K1A 0E6. 4

8 IMPORTANT NOTICE TO USERS The Canadian Coast Guard Marine Aids Modernization Program The Canadian Coast Guard is initiating an aids to navigation modernization program which takes advantage of modern technology and will result in a more equitable, safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly service across Canada. Low maintenance buoys, solar power, the elimination of diesel power and the application of national provision and design standards, will be used to realize these objectives. In consultation with local users, aids to navigation which are redundant, exceed the national standards or should not be publicly funded, will be downsized, privatized or discontinued. Regional plans as well as detailed Notices to Shipping and Notices to Mariners will be issued and distributed in the usual manner in advance of all changes to aids to navigation. All users are encouraged to participate in local consultations and to monitor these Notices. It will be every user s responsibility to adapt to the changes and to take the appropriate measures. 1. Redundant Aids to Navigation Many conventional aids to navigation were established for commercial mariners who now use radar. As a result these users no longer require as many landfall shore lights, large lighted buoys and fog signals and support their discontinuance. However, before these commercially redundant marine aids are removed, the Coast Guard is assessing, where required, the local needs of small craft operators and redesigning the old commercial aids to meet these needs within national provision policies and design standards. Coast Guard policy does not provide for the retention ofog horns for pleasure craft, due to the high cost to provide such a service across Canada. However, where practical and where there is local support, the existing redundant fog horns are being transferred to local authorities at no cost. The conversion of lightstations to solar power allows major economic and environmental benefits by allowing removal of fuel tanks and diesel generators. Although this eliminates the need for many structures, the Coast Guard will protect all heritage lightstations through continued operation or transfer to provincial, municipal or other authorities for local use. 2. Aids to Navigation Standards In consultation with local users, all aids to navigation systems across Canada are under review. National system design standards will be used to assess these systems. Systems that do not meet these standards will be upgraded; those systems that exceed them will be downsized. Adjustments in some channels will result in an increase or a decrease in the number of buoys and/or the conversion of some lighted buoys to unlighted buoys displaying reflective material. 3. Private Aids to Navigation Although Coast Guard policy does not provide for the establishment of aids to navigation in inadequately charted waters, or where the traffic volume does not justify the cost of the system, some have been established in the past. These aids to navigation will be transferred to local authoritiesat no cost, with Coast Guard retaining design and regulatory authority under the Private Buoy Regulations. 7

9 NEW INITIATIVES The Canadian Coast Guard is also introducing a new differential correction service to augment the satellite-based Global Positioning System (GPS), with 18 transmitting stations fully operational in This Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS), will improve the accuracy and integrity of GPS and will enable mariners who are equipped with the appropriate receivers to identify their precise position in most major southern Canadian waters, including the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. The use of DGPS in conjunction with Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS), will greatly improve navigation accuracy. The expanding use of this new technology is expected to increase marine safety and thus provide greater environmental protection to Canadian waters. It is also believed that implementation of DGPS will allow further adjustment to conventional aids in the future. All mariners and shipowners are encouraged to equip their vessels with GPS receivers which have the capability to receive the Differential signals, particularly where there is frequent risk of reduced visibility. The Canadian Coast Guard believes that the availability of GPS, particularly when augmented by the Differential service, will make Loran C obsolete. Consultations are underway to assess the impact of discontinuing Loran C in Canada. 8

10 NEWFOUNDLAND REGION The Canadian Coast Guard is planning to further modernize its marine aids to navigation service. Changes will include adjusting all service levels to national standards between 1997 and the year 2000 and reducing some conventional aids services based on the availability of the Global Positioning System, Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and the Electronic Chart Display Information System (ECDIS). The new electronic systems will supplement the remaining conventional aids system, permitting continued maintenance of a safe service at lower cost. More detailed information concerning each of these proposed changes will be provided in each region or geographic area by Notices to Shipping and Notices to Mariners, allowing users time to comment prior to finalizing planned changes. Further Notices to Shipping and Notices to Mariners will also be issued at the time of all changes. Mariners and representatives of user groups wishing to provide comments or recommendations on this or any subsequent notice may write to: Aids to Navigation Superintendent Department of Fisheries & Oceans Canadian Coast Guard Directorate P.O. Box 5667 St. John s, NFLD. A1C 5X1 9

11 MARITIMES REGION The Canadian Coast Guard is planning to further modernize its marine aids to navigation service. Changes will include adjusting all service levels to national standards between 1997 and the year 2000 and reducing some conventional aids services based on the availability of the Global Positioning System, Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and the Electronic Chart Display Information System (ECDIS). The new electronic systems will supplement the remaining conventional aids system, permitting continued maintenance of a safe service at lower cost. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FOLLOWING CHANGES WILL BEGIN WITHIN COAST GUARD MARITIMES REGION ON APRIL 1, MEASURES 1) Privatization of aids systems in pleasure craft channels and/or conversion of some lighted buoys to unlighted buoys and removal of some aids in pleasure craft channels. 2) Privatization of aids systems in inadequately and uncharted waters and where there is a low volume of users. 3) Aids to navigation systems in Saint-John and Yarmouth Harbours will be restructured to meet national standards. 4) Decommissioning of some lightstations (major reference lights) and downsizing of others to minor lights. 5) Discontinuance of some fog horns. 6) Removal of some coastal fixed and floating aids. Over the next year, more detailed information concerning each of these proposed changes will be provided in each region or geographic area by Notices to Shipping and Notices to Mariners, allowing users time to comment prior to finalizing planned changes. Further Notices to Shipping and Notices to Mariners will also be issued at the time of all changes. Mariners and representatives of user groups wishing to provide comments or recommendations on this or any subsequent notice may write to: Regional Superintendent Aids to Navigation P.O. Box 1000 Dartmouth, N.S. B2Y 3Z8 (902)

12 LAURENTIAN REGION The Canadian Coast Guard is planning to further modernize its marine aids to navigation service.
