During the session of the IALA DTEC 3, the MMS demonstration underscored the system’s advancements in security and efficiency in maritime connectivity.

Julius Moeller from AMSA, Christopher Saarnak from DMA and Thomas Christensen from AIVeNautics led the session, showcasing harmonised solutions for distributing navigational warnings within the e-navigation framework. The demonstration emphasized real-time data exchange and the implementation of a public key infrastructure (PKI) to ensure secure communications among maritime entities.

Key features included the integration of the IHO’s S-124 product specification for standardized navigational warning datasets and a prototype user interface, NavUI, which allows users to visualize warnings on digital charts, enhancing situational awareness. The MMS is designed to be carrier agnostic, allowing flexibility to use various communication methods, including standard internet and non-IP options like VDES.

Live Navigational warning data from Australia, Korea, Denmark and Canada was demonstrated.

The event highlighted the collaborative efforts among various organizations under the umbrella of the Open Digital Incubator, to modernize maritime services, paving the way for safer and more efficient navigation at sea.
