E-navigation is, at the moment, a catchall phrase for a concept of bringing existing and new technology together to improve safety of navigation, commercial efficiency and security. The challenge for the industry working through the IMO will be to produce a unified strategy for this integration and then (and only then) to develop specific systems to meet the needs. This is no small feat! Chart data and systems need to be brought to an agreeable standard; position fixing systems need to be of high integrity; and communication systems need to be establishing that meet the needs of e-navigation with agreed technology, protocols and payment plans. This all needs to be achieved with an acceptable cost/benefit balance.

e-Navigation is an IMO initiative defined as “the harmonised collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of maritime information onboard and ashore by electronic means to enhance berth to berth navigation and related services, for safety and security at sea and protection of the marine environment”. IMO has dictated that e-Navigation should be ‘User Need’ led and take into account the Human Ele-ment. This paper will explore some of the Human Element issues within e-Navigation and stress that for en-hancement of safety, security and environmental protection, the decision maker must be supported not only by the technology, but importantly with effective procedures and training.
