PING S-124 Navigational Warnings API - MED OSMoSIS Pilot Study

 
Shom is currently developing a platform dedicated to Nautical information named PING.

The API (Application Programming Interface) Navigational Warnings S-124 module, developed within the MED OSMoSIS project, is the first increment of this platform and consists of the production and dissemination of Navigation Warnings (NW) through web services.

Testing is being carried out on several aspects: the portal tools for NW production on the one hand, and the dissemination of navigational warnings for integration into client systems such as surveillance systems trough 2 protocols: WFS (Web Feature Services) and REST (Representational State Transfer).



The different steps of the testing involve:

- the development of the API S-124 module itself, the installation of the hosting platform at Shom;
- the grant of access to the PING platform to participants from EU Member States;
- the issuing of navigational warnings by the French maritime authority through the portal tools;  
- the integration by MS participants of the French navigational warnings into their systems through the 2 protocols;
- the grant of editing rights for the portal tools to participants;
- the production by participants of navigational warnings in their country waters and their integration into their client system.

Testing is being conducted successfully with an active participation of Croatia, Greece, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain.

Shom plans to hold a 3rd technical meeting end of April to share with participants and interested stakeholders the results achieved so far.


The Testing phase for MEDOSMoSIS French pilot study PING NW module S-124 API, dedicated to the production of Navigational Warnings through web services, is soon coming to an end. Shom will be presenting the results of the tests carried out during the PING NavWarning S-124 API - Test Results Online Workshop. 
We hereby invite you to join our workshop, which will take place on the 28th of April 2022 at 2:00 PM (CET). To attend the workshop, please register here.

High resolution Atlas of Surface Currents in South European seas

Image
Sea surface currents are probably one of the most relevant variable for a variety of challenges concerning the the marine environment management (e.g. safe and  efficient navigation, pollution dispersion, ecological connectivity, ...) . Within the framework of the MED OSMoSIS and COSMO projects, the ICM-CSIC has developed an atlas of surface and subsurface (depth ~ 15 m) currents for the Southern European seas: the Mediterranean basin and the Canary-Iberian-Biscay waters (Martinez et al., 2022). Surface Climatological Currents for May The Atlas is based on today’s state of the art reanalyses of the ocean circulation provided by the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS). Climatological values are computed from the median of the empirical probability density functions. The Atlas also includes the variance matrix as well as a bimodality index providing further quantitative information about temporal variability of the current at each location. Rose of currents and varia

PROMULGATION OF NAVIGATION AND METEOROLOGICAL WARNINGS IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

NAVAL RADIO SERVICE According to the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), the eastern part of the Adriatic Sea belongs to the marine area A1, in which the Republic of Croatia is obliged to ensure VHF, VHF DSC and NAVTEX signal coverage. The Law on Plovput defines that the mentioned tasks are performed by Plovput on behalf of the Republic of Croatia. ACTIVITIES OF THE MARINE RADIO SERVICE OF COASTAL RADIO STATIONS (ORP) The fundamental activities of the maritime radio service are as follows: • Constant vigilance on frequencies for danger; • Mediation in communication during distress, emergency and safety interventions coordinated by the National Search and Rescue Center (MRCC) in Rijeka, in accordance with the National Plan for Search and Rescue of Human Lives at Sea; • Mediation in communication when seeking medical advice from vessels; • Broadcasting of Maritime Safety Information (MSI) via VHF system and Navtex system; • Commercial radio service with sh

MED OSMoSIS CISE Pilot Study

Image
In the framework of the project, Shom is conducting a pilot study on CISE to assess the technical and financial needs for the integration of Shom’s data in the CISE network. The common information sharing environment (CISE) is an EU initiative providing a decentralized framework for point-to-point information exchange across sectors and borders. It is involving more than 300 EU and national authorities with responsibilities in maritime surveillance. CISE aims to make European and national maritime surveillance systems interoperable, enabling all concerned authorities to exchange information in an automatic and secure way. Carrying out many different operational surveillance tasks, national authorities directly benefit from being connected to CISE, in various sectors: In the context of the study, Shom is getting involved in the CISE Network by connecting its legacy system (data.shom.fr portal) to the French Node as data provider. This task is performed in cooperation with SGMer (French
