42 Background: International Maritime Organization (IMO) carriage requirements · new passenger ships above 500GT - from July 1, 2012 · new tankers above 3,000GT - July 1, 2012 · new cargo ships above 10,000GT - July 1, 2013 · new cargo ships above 3,000GT,from July 1, 2014

43 IMO NAV 53 In October 2007 the IHO convened an extraordinary meeting of its WEND Committee to consider matters arising from NAV53..…which adopted the following definition: “Adequate ENC Coverage is attained with those ENCs required to enable safe port to port navigation for international shipping that correspond to the paper chart coverage for these ports and the routes between.”

44 At its November 2009 meeting in Barbados, the MACHC endorsed the goal of the ECC/WG2 to: “Achieve adequate regional ENC coverage by December 31, 2010 (using the medium scale INT chart scheme as the baseline for adequate medium scale ENC coverage--usage bands 2/3).”

45 2010 Workplan INT Chart Scheme as the “footprint” to guide ENC construction/coverage of the MACHC Region; INT Chart Scheme as the “footprint” to guide ENC construction/coverage of the MACHC Region; assess present MACHC Region ENC coverage in comparison with the “footprint;” assess present MACHC Region ENC coverage in comparison with the “footprint;” coordinate action plans for addressing gaps and overlaps in ENC coverage between countries; and coordinate action plans for addressing gaps and overlaps in ENC coverage between countries; and establish a communication strategy to track progress and resolve issues establish a communication strategy to track progress and resolve issues

50 Report Recommendations. MACHC ECC finalizes/completes the Region B, Atlantic Ocean side, ENC scheme for small to medium scales (UB2 to UB3), per the timetables indicated in Annex A. 1. MACHC ECC finalizes/completes the Region B, Atlantic Ocean side, ENC scheme for small to medium scales (UB2 to UB3), per the timetables indicated in Annex A. 2. MACHC ECC develops the Region B, Pacific side, ENC scheme for small to medium scales (UB1 to UB3). 3. MACHC ECC explores options for providing a means to depict ENC schemes on a webpage in an interoperable manner and appropriate format for GIS, as a pilot project. 4. MACHC ECC corresponds with WEND-WG RHC representatives to ensure that ENC schemes fit seamlessly with adjacent areas (i.e. SEPHC, USCHC).

51 Report Recommendations As a permanent task, MACHC Member States are invited to provide the ECC with their UB4 to UB6 production plans taking into account: 5. As a permanent task, MACHC Member States are invited to provide the ECC with their UB4 to UB6 production plans taking into account: · the need to cover the routes used by High Speed Crafts (ECDIS mandatory carriage July 1, 2010) and priority regional ports; · the availability of adequate survey data for ENC production (keeping in mind that, in some areas, HOs may deem necessary not to produce ENCs if data are out-of-date or not compliant with S-44 standards); and · the need to address national overlaps and consistency for all UBs. 6. MACHC Chair is invited to provide this report to the IHB as the region’s contribution to global ENC coverage so that it may be conveyed accordingly to the IMO.

52 Report Recommendations 7. In order to create the IHO worldwide ENC database, all ENC producers are encouraged to make their ENCs available to the RENCs, even if they are distributed by different channels. 8. If Member Countries are unable to complete their ENC coverage in 2011, the MACHC should consider options to address this situation, ranging from focused capacity building assistance to identification of interim producers (other nations) until the nation concerned is able to do it themselves. 9. If MACHC Member States are unwilling either to distribute ENCs or to have another country produce for them, this situation will be communicated via the MACHC Chair to the Inter-Regional Coordinating Committee (IRCC). The IRCC will take appropriate action with the WEND Working Group, the IHB, and IMO.

53 Actions Required of the MACHC MACHC Member States are invited to note and endorse this report and its recommendations. MACHC Member States are invited to note and endorse this report and its recommendations. The MACHC Chair then transmit the report to the IHB no later than December 31, 2010, for ultimate communication of the results to the IMO. The MACHC Chair then transmit the report to the IHB no later than December 31, 2010, for ultimate communication of the results to the IMO.

54 Actions from MACHC X ActionAgreementsResponsible Party Due DateStatus 10-39MACHC ECC to consider the proposal made by Venezuela to name ENC 4022 “WC” for MACHC (as it is in EAHC for Malacca Strait) rather than national designations. ECC ChairBy XI MACHC Mtg. Completed. After looking at the Malacca Strait precedent, the ECC concluded that there was no compelling reason to change the name of this chart.

55 WG2 Actions—MACHC XI Finalize Report: “ENC Coverage for the MACHC Region” For submission to MACHC Chair by December 10 Update Report Annex A: Include recent Cuban input; MS to clarify designation of VARs as distributors Update Report Annex B: Resolve outstanding overlaps/gaps Include summary statistics (%) of existing vs. planned ENCs for easier reporting by IHB to IMO Include a generic statement in Report that indicates the graphics do not depict MS or MACHC official endorsement of national borders. Reflect Suriname’s concern re: above point in the WG2 meeting summary. Updates to the Report due to the Chair by November 30, 2010.

56 WG2 Actions—MACHC XI Elaborate Adopted 2011 Workplan Confirm Working Group participants (completed) Explore venues for face-to-face meeting (Dec 31, 2010): -In conjunction with U.S. Hydrographic Conference— Tampa, USA, April 25-28 (U.S.-NOAA) -IRCC/CBC/WEND-WG –Niteroi, Brazil, 23-27 May (Brazil) Provide ASAP to Chair list of Priority Ports and Routes for MACHC region (UK) Provide ASAP information on high speed ferry routes

57 WG2 Actions—MACHC XI Elaborate Adopted 2011 Workplan Ensure that the current report is a “living document” that includes the results of the new workplan Monitor progress on current and future actions (standing action for WG plan) Ensure that the workplan results are provided as input to information paper to the IMO Navigation SubCommittee (via the IHB) in due course.
