  1. UPPER HUMBER ENC TRIAL Nov 2012 – Oct 2013 Andy Hinton – Geographic Manager England East and South.

  2. Upper Humber ENC cell presentation. • Introduction and Background – why the Trial was conducted. • Description of our new Hydrographic database system. • Trial itself – how the product and service evolved over time • Conclusions/ key lessons learnt • Further work and applications

  3. INTRODUCTION: AREA IN QUESTION • Humber Bridge to Goole on River Ouse and Keadby on River Trent • Goole – UK’s most inland port - 894th in world • 1600 commercial vessels - 80% ECDIS fitted • Accommodates vessels of 5.5m draught

  4. ABP HUMBER SURVEY SCHEDULE. 2 weeks 6 weeks 8 weeks Dynamic hydrographic environment. Tortuous navigation Surveyed by ABP Humber on very frequent basis :

  5. ABP Humber output • Survey – 2 weeks (Tuesday) • New Ships course • Autocad and pdf sheets • Buoy moves (Friday) • Chart - 2 months

  6. UKHO CURRENT CHARTING. • Paper chart 3497 – 1:50,000 • ‘Unchartable’. • Traditional system - cannot cope with speed of change. • Paper chart NMs - 12/15 days, New Edition - 5 to 7 weeks • ENC updates - tied into paper chart NM timeframes.

  7. REASONS FOR THE TRIAL. • Introduction of the Hydrographic Database • Berth to Berth ENC service top 1000 ports. • 80% vessels using river have ECDIS fitted. • MAIB report – Sea Mithril 2007.

  8. HPD Paper Chart NMs NEs Paper Chart Editor ARCS Source Database Incoming data ENC Updates NEs Product Editor AMLs Hydrographic Database (HDB) CARIS HPD – Database approach. Source database (S57) – updated real time. Breaks link between paper charts and ENCs Humber area rolled into HDB in 2010/ 2011.

  9. THE TRIAL : PRODUCT CREATION. APRIL TO NOV 2012 Agreed to conduct Trial – February 2012 Two targets – Update ENC in two working days Had to enhance navigation. Product creation - Scale 1:25,000. Critical features - Ship’s course, buoyage, coast, wrecks, Topography – enhanced Hydrography – General backdrop. Ship’s Course/ Buoyage updated -14 days Emailed out to ABP Humber 9th November
