Radio Navigational Warnings - Hydrographic Institute of the Republic of Croatia

 GeoAdriatic

Implementation of new technologies has not only simplified the visualisation of spatial data but has also made it necessary. 

Hydrographic Institute of the Republic of Croatia (HHI) has created a geoportal GeoAdriatic to share with the public its specific spatial data used for producing up-to-date navigational charts and publications. 

The HHI Nautical Department is National Coordinator for Navigational Warnings, as part of Maritime Safety Information (MSI), and publishes navigational warnings on the HHI website.

Besides providing textual presentation of radio navigational warnings, Geoportal also enables a spatial view. 

The data are collected, analysed, and published on working days from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.



S-124 Standard

In the light of S-124 Standard, HHI has assumed a new structure of radio navigational warning information, and adapted it for update and display through GIS applications.


Opensource QGIS

The data are entered and updated through Opensource QGIS application.



ArcGis API

The spatial data updated through QGIS application are automatically sent to Geoportal using scripts. 



ArcGis Online

Geoportal is available on cloud in the ESRI ArcGis Online Platform, enabling rapid production and visualisation of spatial data.

PROMULGATION OF NAVIGATION AND METEOROLOGICAL WARNINGS IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

Image
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

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

Development of a Web GIS portal base platform

The Lead Partner of MED OSMoSIS - GMMA ( Special Service of EU Structural Funds for the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy ) is developing a Web GIS portal base platform (maritime surveillance) in which several modules and tasks are being analyzed. Among other facilities of the platform, such as the integration and the access of geo-information, applications and reports, it is planned to unify into one source all the available systems that provide AIS information. To accomplish this a systematic method of logistics is being directly developed at this time, that will incorporate all available AIS signal transmits at a national level and from different databases into the Web GIS portal, as a unique reliable reference. That means that more than 6 available sources will be incorporated into one. The same challenge may have been experienced in your country. If so, let us know at what degree, and if you have evolved a similar solution of transformation (eg. integration of meteor
