The Singapore Strait is one of the world's busiest waterways used by international shipping Coupled with this, the Port of Singapore is the world's busiest port in terms of shipping and cargo tonnage and the second busiest container port. Navigational safety is Singapore's concern and we are convinced that the ECDIS is the key to further enhancing navigational safety in the Singapore Strait and the port waters of Singapore. We have initiated the production of Electronic Navigational Chart data and invested in infrastructural supporting facilities such as DGPS brodcast service for use with ECDIS as well as other maritime systems.

There are Marine equipment, electronic chart display and information system(ECDIS) which can make a voyage using sounding machine in vessel. ECDIS current systems do not have a unified protocol between devices installed in the sea. But protocols between devices are not unified in this system. When the devices installed on the sea are replaced, communication environment should be changed. It is costly to dismantle and withdraw them so they are used without change. Due to these problems, a system being sold in the market consists of ENC system and another system receiving data seperately. In this paper, to solve these problems, it is designed to integrate and support various protocols within a system using data transmission and receiving function and streaming so that ENC can be seen via mobile as well.

We have studied on the maritime navigation with functions of navigation route search and maritime safety information for small-size fishery ships, fishing boats, yachts, and boats in coastal seas. We have designed a smart phone application which is more exact information on marine obstacles of islands, aquafarms, and rocks by using land navigation techniques. Our navigation system is relatively easy to be used for costal navigation and may be a substitute for expensive ECDIS(Electronic Chart Display and Information System). Our system consists of maritime navigation databases to manage necessary maritime data and a mobile application to support maritime navigation for operators. We believe that our research findings can improve safety navigation in coastal seas by supporting lower cost, no time-consuming installation and maintenance, and easy-to-use operations.

ECDIS(Electronic Chart Display and Information System 전자해도정보시스템)와 같이 진보된 IT 기술을 적용한 항해장비는 단순히 항해의 목적으로 사용하는 것 이상으로, 해양환경의 보호와 감시에 응용하는 등의 방법으로 그 활용범위를 직접적이고 적극적으로 확대할 수 있다. 종이해도와 달리, ECDIS는 '시간'이라는 4차원적 요소를 도입함으로써 동적시스템(Dynamic System)으로 전환이 용이하다. 이것은 조석, 조류, 바람과 파도와 같은 시간변수(Time Variables) 데이터를 적용함으로써 가능하다. 이 시간변수들을 어군이동위치, 계절변화에 따른 해저지형, ballast water의 취수를 위한 청수지역 등과 함께 활용을 한다면, green ECDIS를 활용한 green navigation은 현실화가 가능하다. 이에 따라 해상종사자의 환경인식은 뚜렷하게 그리고 유용하게 증가할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 green ECDIS의 개념과 모형의 설계 그리고 프로토타입의 개발을 제안하고자 한다.

Many countries are producing the ENC(Electronic Navigational Chart)for their own waters and developing the electronic navigational equipment such as ECS, and ECDIS. Though ECDIS has many advantages, it is almost impossible for the mariner to recognize the displayed information because of intense display of objects so called as the clutter. In this paper, the problem of scale factor has been investigated and now methods, variable factor system, to assign the scale factor were proposed.

IMO adopt the revision of SOLAS convention on requirement systems for ECDIS and considered an ECDIS as the major system for E-Navigation strategy on marine transportation safety and environment protection. ENC(Electronic Navigational Chart) as the base map of ECDIS is considered as a principal information infrastructure that is essential for navigation tasks. Because ENCs are not easy to utilize for being encoded according to ISO/IEC 8211 file format, used for navigational purpose mainly, it's required to utilize in parts of Marine GIS and various marine application. In this paper, we developed KML conversion technology for ENC application. In details, we analyzed data model and encoding method of ENC, schema structure and data file of KML. Based on this results, we developed the program of KML conversion of ENCs.

항해 안전을 위한 최첨단 장비의 개발은 항해업무의 감소와 항해안전에 크게 기여하고 있다. 이러한 장비 중 하나인 ECDIS(Electronic Chart Display & Information System)의 운용을 위해 개발된 ENC는 현재 전 세계적으로 제작되고 있으며 각국의 HO(Hydrographic Office)가 자국의 공인 ENC를 제작하여 종이해도의 경우와 같이 사용자에게 배포할 예정이다. ENC는 해도에 관련된 지형정보와 해당 속성정보를 포함하고 있기 때문에 항해 뿐만 아니라 기타 응용분야에도 사용이 가능하다. 이러한 필요성에 대처하기 위해 ENC 데이터를 분석하고 근간이 되는 S-57데이터의 구조, 또한 캡슐화에 사용된 ISO/IEC 8211에 관하여 소개한다. 또한 결론부에 항해 및 기타 응용분야에서의 ENC데이터 사용 가능성을 검토한다.

One of the tasks of maritime navigation is to decide upon the optimal navigation route that minimizes a vessals travel time and fuel consumption. Recently. ECDIS(Electronic Chart Display Information System) is used to decide the optimal navigation route and have expert knowledge of maritime navigation. In this paper, the system use $A^*$algorithm for optimal navigation route on ECDIS. But some problems is discovered in this situation. it requires many memory device and searching time. So this paper has tried to develope a advanced algorithm system that decides the optimal navigation route.

The mandatory installation of the ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) became an important navigational equipment for navigation officer. In addition, ECDIS is a key component of the ship's digitalization in conjunction with various navigational equipment. Meanwhile, cyber-attacks emerge as a new threat along with digitalization. Damage caused by cyber-attacks is also reported in the shipping sector, and IMO recommends that cybersecurity guidelines be developed and included in International Security Management (ISM). This study analyzed the cybersecurity hazards of ECDIS, where various navigational equipment are connected. To this end, Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) was conducted on navigation officer using ECDIS. As a result, the development of technologies for cyber-attack detection and prevention should be priority. In addition, policies related to 'Hardware and Software upgrade', 'network access control', and 'data backup and recovery' were analyzed as contents to be maintained. This paper is significant in deriving risk factors from the perspective of ECDIS users and analyzing their priorities, and it is necessary to analyze various cyber-attacks that may occur on ships in the future.

ENC(Electronic Navigational Chart) is an electronic chart that digitize nautical chart including all kinds of information of nautical chart. Mariners have difficulty reading information because of clutter problem if display scale of ECDIS is lower than compilation scale of ENCs. IHO made SCAMIN improvement model included in S-65 Standard to settle this ENC clutter problem. This SCAMIN model includes both simple restriction that should safety some requirement and share geographic information. and hard restriction that should overlap with area object such as depth area, land area, dredge area. It also apply SCAMIN step of sounding value according to importance of safety navigation. In this paper, we analyzed the restrictions for SCAMIN model of S-65 Standard, developed algorithm and application to apply theses restrictions reasonably and mechanically. Also we applied this algorithm and application to Korea ENCs and evaluated the result of performance.
