e-Navigation conference
For the fourth consecutive year, Denmark has hosted a conference on e-Navigation, with this year’s theme being practical implementation.
This year’s conference, hosted by the Danish Maritime Authority in cooperation with the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA), was attended by over 180 navigational experts.
The conference was opened by the Director General of the Danish Maritime Authority, Andreas Nordseth, who stressed the need for the maritime world to progress from discussing e-Navigation to implementing it in practice.
“e-Navigation is a technology that is not just a key to enhanced safety at sea, but that can also make a number of on-board administrative procedures more effective”, he said.
In connection with the conference, an agreement was signed between South Korea, Sweden and Denmark on the establishment of global test facilities for e-Navigation.
