Maritime Awareness
• Maritime Environment:– All areas and things of, on, under, relating to, adjacent to,
or bordering on a sea, ocean, or other navigable waterway, including all maritime related activities, infrastructure, people, cargo, and vessels and other conveyances
• Maritime Situational Awareness:– Effective understanding of anything associated with the
global maritime environment impacting economies, the environment, safety and security
Page 6
Office of Global Maritime Situational Awareness (OGMSA)
• A multi-agency office responsible for effective access to maritime information and data critical to building maritime awareness
• Act as a Maritime Awareness Coordinator– Increase communication & outreach– Make maritime information available & shareable using
available and future technology

Guiding Principles
• International Teamwork– Operate as equal partners, regardless of capability– Identify efficiency and anomalies in commerce, safety &
security– Non-classified data sharing & transparency– Simplicity

Benefits of Data Sharing
• Greater information sharing results in:– Builds of culture of confidence and trust– Commercial Efficiency
• Reduce fuel usage• Reduce carbon emissions• Delay costs and improved port through-puts
– Environmental Protection– Maritime Safety & Security
• Broader, more cooperative & efficient safety at sea (i.e. Search & Rescue)
• Better utilization of limited resources

Using Tools for Maritime Awareness
• Multiple tools are available to increase maritime awareness:– Automatic Identification System (AIS)
• Mandated on all vessels over 300 gross tons (IMO)• Maritime Safety and Security Information System (MSSIS)
– International Partnerships• International Association of Maritime Aids to Navigation and
Lighthouse Authorities (IALA)• International Maritime Organization (IMO)
– Maritime Awareness Architecture• Blueprint for net-centric, information sharing
Page 11
Automatic Identification System (AIS)
• GNSS– Position normally derived from ship position receiver– Timing from integrated GPS receiver
• Two types of shipboard AIS:– CLASS A: 300+ gross tons subject to SOLAS
• 12.5W VHF Antenna• GNSS Receiver link• Maritime electronic data interface• VHF receivers
– CLASS B: Smaller vessels• 2W VHF Antenna w/ GPS receiver
Page 12
Page 13
Automatic Identification System (AIS)
• Information transmitted (2-10 seconds):– Course over Ground (COG)– Latitude & Longitude– IMO Number– Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) Number– Navigation Status– Position accuracy
• Differential GPS• Indication if Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM)
processing is being used (Class B only)
– True Heading and Time Stamp
Page 14
Automatic Identification System (AIS)
• Additional information transmitted (6 minutes):– Destination (20 characters)– Dimensions of vessel to nearest meter– Draught of vessel– ETA at Destination (In UTC)– Name– Radio call sign: International call sign– Type of ship & cargo (i.e. Tanker, petroleum)– Type of positioning fixing device
• Differential GPS to undefined
Page 15
Maritime Safety & Security Information System
• Administered by the US Department of Transportation, VOLPE Centre– Developed for monitoring Saint Lawrence Seaway and
Panama Canal maritime traffic
• MSSIS: – Non classified, multi-lateral, freely shared data network
exchanging AIS data between participates– Internet-based, password protected encrypted sharing– Near-real time (six minute refresh)– No altering, processing or storage of information
Page 17
Maritime Safety & Security Information System
• MSSIS: – By contributing AIS data, an user economy is eligible to
receive global MSSIS data– Serving as a data feed for multiple applications using the
exchange of AIS vessel data:• Establishment of security zones• Oil spill modeling display• Pilot navigation
– Technology assistance available from VOLPE– VOLPE AIS Interface Software (TV32): No cost

Maritime Safety & Security Information System
• MSSIS is one piece of the puzzle– One means to an end– Designed to complement and work with other sharing
networks– Affordable and user friendly
• MSSIS is the AIS data sharing component of greater maritime information sharing
• Increasing level of participation

International Partnership
• Create a global maritime information exchange network
• Utilize existing and future maritime information sharing systems:– AIS Live (UK-based)– Maritime Shipping Information System (Indian-based)– Regional Maritime Information Exchange (ReMIX)
• Singapore-based system utilizing sense making and anomaly detection software (OASIS & SMART)
– Virtual Regional Maritime Traffic Center (VRMTC)• Italian-based system
Page 28
Page 29
Future of Maritime Information Sharing
• Anomaly Detection Software:– BRITE: Uses “smart agents” to detect anomalies in non-
classified maritime data– ReMIX: Singapore-based maritime awareness system
• Space-based Information Sharing:– Global AIS & Data-X International Satellite (GLADIS)
Constellation• 6 nano-satellites in orbit (2010 Launch) and remote sensors• Multi-source data (Data-X): Buoys, land-based AIS receiver• Requires accurate GPS positioning for open-ocean AIS data
Page 30
GLADIS Constellation
• Sharing of GLADIS data on MSSIS network• Open-ocean coverage (no VHF limit)

Conclusion
• Discover common opportunities:– No one economy holds all of the authorities and capabilities to
achieve effective global maritime situational awareness
• Build trust and cooperation:– Situational awareness can only be achieved through a collaborative
network of partners drawing upon their cumulative authorities and capabilities
• Solve common challenges:– is only through unity of effort that the security, safety, economic,
and environmental objectives associated with the maritime awareness can be achieved
