< 1mfrom geodetic/terrestric survey, taken from base map (1:1000, 1:2000)

< 3m from photogrammetry; digitized from aerophoto

< 10mdigitized from topographic map (1:10.000, 1:25.000)

New Edition of Inland ENC`s • Second edition of Romanian Inland ENC`s with:

– New coverage;

– Preparation for full interoperability RIS Index;

– Bathymetric layer bIENC`s;

ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES

Collaboration with Romanian shipowners;

PROJECTS

IRIS Europe 3

IRIS Europe 3Enhancement of RIS key technologies and systems, RIS Services and applications;

Implementation of new harmonized RIS Services;

Contribution to the maintenance and amendment of standards and technical specifications.

IRIS Europe 3Partner: RomaniaBeneficiar: AFDJ Galati;Role in project: coordinator

1. Bathymetric ENC ;2. Transient water level models;3. Standardised IENC data exchange;4. Pilot implementation of QoIS for Inland ECDIS;5. Interoperability between RIS and maritime information

services;

Work done;• First survey session for pilot stretch Bechet

– Corabia, May 2013;

• Activities for analysis of dynamics of morphology towards bathymetry information;

• Second survey for pilot stretch Bechet – Corabia, July 2013;

• Feasibility study on options for introducing bathymetric information within the IENCs

Survey – Corabia;

- Bathymetry profiles

- Current-meter profiles

- Discharge and flow velocity measurements

- Sediments measurements

Bathymetry – Romania;Current situation - possibilities of bathymetric data within

Romanian Inland ENCs;

• Current procedure for introducing bathymetric data within IENC

– Phase 1 : Organizing the measurement session including checking and calibration of the measurement system

– Phase 2 : On field measurements (using Hypack Survey and Hysweep)

Bathymetry – Romania;

• Current tested procedure for introducing bathymetric data within IENC

– Phase 3 : Data processing(Hypack Office, Single and Multi Beam Editor)

– Phase 4 : Data integration within the IENCs as:

• separate file

• part of the main IENC cell

Integration of

bathymetric data

within 60 km of

Danube

Bathymetry – Romania;

Bathymetry – Romania;Option 1: Bathymetry as a separate file bIENC

• Encountered technical difficulties to correctly display simultaneously in ECDIS viewer

xyz file Hypack ENC Editor Exported bIENC file

Displayed bIENC fileIntegrated display IENC + bIENC

Option 2: Bathymetry integrated into the official IENC

• One IENC

• No technical difficulties to display in ECDIS viewer

Waterway AFDJ databases

Waterway database is a term used to summarise a range of concepts, processes, relationships and physical entities that, taken together, provide for integrated management of spatial data and information.

Waterway AFDJ databases

Content elements

• Hydrographic • Topographic (land; air; seabed)• Morphological (texture, characterisation)• Geological (solid; drift)• Biological (benthic) • Transport networks (air, sea and land)• Hydrological (water) • Temporal (weather, tide, current)• Boundaries (EEZ, Baselines, Administrative)…plus Meta data

SAFER Danube

• Satellite images usage for improving the safety navigation in the ice period;

• ESA founding;

• Start: 2014;
