The research on an E-Navigation(E-Nav) strategy development has recently carried out by the IMO sub-committee on safety of navigation(NAV). The design of communication system architecture is a key factor in the E-Nav strategy development and it may drive the direction of a national R&D project on future navigational and marine communication systems. This study aims at designing a standard model of E-Nav communication network architecture, which enhances navigational safety and provides additional benefits in marine transportation. To achieve this purpose, authors have suggested E-Nav services, which are divided into five categories, i.e., safety and security, maritime meteorology, distress, business, and infotainment, by analyzing the related user requirements. As results, this paper proposes the E-Nav communication network architecture that consists of the navigation and communication equipments.

Development of e-navigation strategy which was proposed by seven member states coordinated by United Kingdom in MSC committee of IMO has been conducted for user needs definition, gap analysis cooperating with NAV, COMSAR and STW sub-committee. After prominent progress of development was done in Correspondence group, MSC 85 has approved the result of the group and conducted the development of e-navigation implementation plan to be finished in 2012. It is necessary to prepare the strategy and plan of our country identifying and perceiving the core objects and basic concept of e-navigation developed in the international community. This paper presents the progress of e-navigation development work until this stage and gives some recommendations for the domestic plan to cope with e-navigation.

During the past several decades, the development of the maritime policy have been focused on the level of regulation based on the lessons from the individual accidents. Recently, the development of IMO e-navigation strategy has been discussed actively and has been focusing on the new frame and architecture based on the user requirements and definition of function and services for user requirements, which might produce the user-friendly policy, infrastructure and user service. For the new maritime ICT policy getting fusion of ICT and innovation of ship/ocean industry, the overarching methodology, as IMO e-navigation strategy, should be applied to primarily setup the architecture from the user requirements to technology. In this paper, we analyze the IMO e-navigation strategy procedure and provide the consideration and lessons for the strategic methodology to develop a new maritime ICT policy.

IHO has established S-100 Standard profiled from ISO 19100 GIS standards for standardization and improvement of hydrographic data and are developing S-10X Standards. IMO is implementing the e-Navigation strategy for maritime safety and marine environment protection and has established the CMDS as information standard framework which will be developed from the S-100 standard. The development domain of e-Navigation can be divided into onboard, communication network, onshore and VTS is a core actor in onshore system. In this study, we analyzed the effects of S-100 standard development on VTS through e-Navigation strategy of IMO and suggested the cooperation between hydrographic fields and VTS fields under e-Navigation strategy.

The maritime industry has been developing e-Navigation strategy for safety navigation. The implementation of e-Navigation strategy will cause many needs for developing new software increasingly. For this reason, IMO referred to importance of software quality and endorsed the e-Navigation SQA/HCD guideline as an official IMO document. Accordingly, it is necessary to develop a practical guidance to apply the guideline. This paper describes the elicitation results about the detailed actions of requirement analysis stage based on quality standards. Also, the improvement measure is proposed in this paper.

e-navigation is a Strategy developed by the IMO. It aims to implement the strategy in 2018. To this end, e-navigation Software Quality Assurance and Human-Centred Design Guidelines has been developing for the implementation and development of e-Navigation. The IMO MSC approved this guideline as a MSC circular in June 2015. In this paper, international standards of software quality assurance and human-centred design has been surveyed and analyzed in terms of usability testing for the practical application of this guideline. The result is planning to be reflected in the practical application guidance for the development of e-navigation equipment hardware-software combination.

IMO established an e-Navigation Strategy Implementation Plan(SIP) in 2014 and they aim to enforce in 2019. Accordingly, korean government also prepared e-Navigation SIP as the Next Maritime Safety Comprehensive Management System in 2015. The main content is to promote R&D by putting 131 billion won over the next five years from 2016 to 2020. On the other hand still in a situation that staying at the conception level of Korean e-Navigation System, by study the architectural design requirements of the Korean e-Navigation system, so we will be able to establish future research directions.

The development of e-navigation implementation strategy plan has been conducting by IMO NAV sub-committee. By the result of gap analysis, software technique would be a part of solution to fill the gap. This paper insists that software quality concept has to be considered to make reliable to e-navigation software. The work of integrating or connecting with existed equipment or devices would depend on software mostly. This paper conduct surveys on introducing software quality concept to e-navigation.

This paper proposes an international trend and its implementation for an E-Navigation that can utilize of existing and new navigation tools, in particular electronic tools, in a holistic and systematic manner. IMO develops a broad strategy for incorporating the use of new technologies in a structured way to ensure that their use is compliant with the various electronic navigational and communication technologies and services that are already available. Implementation of this new strategic vision might require modifications to working methods and navigational tools, such as chats, bridge display equipment, electronic aids to navigation, communications and shore infrastructure. E-Navigation will reduce navigational accidents errors and failures by developing standards an accurate and cost effective system.

The International Maritime Organization's e-Navigation strategy introduces new technologies to ships to support easier and safer navigation. To implement the e-Navigation strategy, it was necessary to develop a common data model, that could meet various requirements across all aspects of the maritime information service. The International Hydrographic Organization's S-100 Universal Hydrographic Data Model was selected, as the basis for the standardization of maritime data products. Three S-100 based product specifications for weather information, collectively called "S-41X", are currently under development by the NOAA's Ocean Prediction Center, for use in the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS). This paper describes a design of a grid based S-413 data model out of three S-41X product specifications. Other S-100 data products, which support the gridded data format, were considered. To verify the data model, an encoding test was conducted, using the Korean Meteorological Adminstration's numerical prediction model results.
