Research of Ship Pilot System Based on E-Navigation

Abstract

The paper analysis the existing onboard ship system, shore-based system and the infrastructure of navigation and communication, and introduces the framework of e-Navigation system, based on which, the ship pilot system was developed. Multi-resolution remote-sensing image, geographical spatial data such as IHO-S57 international standards electronic chart, and AIS, 3G, real-time current observation technology are applied on the Pilot System, which-improve the efficiency of pilot dispatch and enhance the safety of ship operation.
