BSHC 18th Conference 16-18 September 2013 ,

NATIONAL REPORT OF ESTONIA

Executive summary

This report summarizes the activities of the Estonian Maritime Administration in the field of hydrography since the Hydrographic Commission 17th Conference in 2012.

1. Hydrographic service

The service in the field of hydrography is generally provided by two departments of the Hydrography and Aids to Navigation Division (head Mr Taivo Kivimäe) of the Estonian Maritime Administration:

1) Hydrography Department (head Dr Jaan Lutt), 2) Cartography Department (head Mr Tõnis Siilanarusk)

Altogether about 35 specialists are occupied in those two departments.

Survey vessels

The Hydrography Department (13 officers) deals with surveying (data collecting and post-processing). For surveys the following hydrographic vessels are used:

1) JAKOB PREI - 25 m SWATH type brand new survey vessel; 2) EVA-320 – 18 m twin-hull survey vessel for coastal areas; 3) EVA 303 – 6 m single-hull survey-boat on rivers and shallow coastal areas; 4) EVA-301 – 20 m twin-hull multipurpose vessel for survey in inland waters and for maintenance of the aids to navigation.

Detailed information regarding hydrographic vessels and survey equipment is given in ANNEX 3.

Hydrographic survey

In 2012 hydrographic survey in Estonian waters was carried out as follows:

1) 728 km² - on HELCOM routes in the Gulf of and the Northern Baltic (CAT I); 2) 467 km² - on coastal routes in the (CAT II); 3) 139 km² - Lake Peipsi; 4) 40 km² - Lake Võrtsjärv; 5) 4 km² - Harbour areas (surveyed by private companies).

All surveys were carried out according the IHO S-44 standards Special, Ia and Ib.

For maintaining and accessing survey data a web-accessible database called the Hydrographic Information System (HIS) was established. It is a seamless database for hydrographic information such as survey areas, depths, underwater objects, contours and storage for raw data. Management of all Estonian survey areas including inland waters is curried on depending on the status of the area (planned, under survey, surveyed, under cleaning, cleaned, under validation or final). Survey data from other parties/companies are included in HIS as well. Backup of data is automatic. Public access (without download services so far) is available at the following link: http://195.80.112.238:8080/HIS/Avalik?REQUEST=Main.

3. New charts & Updates

ENCs:

Estonian waters are completely covered with all relevant navigational bands. Total: 110 cells in navigational purpose bands 2 – 6 (Band 2 – 7 cells, Band 3 – 14 cells, Band 4 – 24 cells, Band 5 – 14 cells, Band 6 – 51 cells). ENCs are updated in real time. In 2012 28 new cells, 26 new editions and 332 updates were produced.

At the end of 2009 WMS webpage was accomplished where the navigational charts and topographical maps are assembled, was accomplished. For more information please click in the Estonian Maritime Administration home page “MAP APPLICATION FOR ESTONIAN LAND AND SEA AREAS”

ENC Distribution method

EMA has signed Distribution Agreements with: Norwegian Hydrographic Service (PRIMAR – Stavanger), Transas DataCo Ltd, NAVIONICS, JEPPESEN Italia SRL, NAVIONICS, Garmin Ltd, Tridentnav Systems HB, Euronav Ltd and several other derived product producers.

RNCs

Not produced.

INT charts

EMA produces and updates 15 INT charts.

National paper charts

The portfolio of the currently updated charts for the Estonian waters comprises 65 charts produced in accordance with international standards. In 2012 no new charts were compiled or printed. The scheme of the Estonian paper charts is given in ANNEX 4.

Other charts, e.g. for pleasure craft

New revised edition of the chart album (Charts of Estonia, Vol 3, From to ) was published in June 2012. It is an updated version of the information contained in the previous 2006 edition.

4. New publications & Updates

New Publications

Starting 2011 EMA is publishing the List of Lights and Notice to Mariners digitally, available on the home page (http://www.vta.ee/atp/public/list_of_lights.pdf and http://www.vta.ee/atp/index.php?id=1748). Starting from 2012 EMA is also publishing the Sailing Directions digitally on the homepage (http://www.vta.ee/atp/index.php?id=18625).

5. MSI

Existing infrastructure for transmission

NAVAREA 1 Baltic Sea sub area co-ordinator is responsible for NAVTEX Service covering the Estonian waters and messages are transmitted by Swedish ( Radio) and Estonian (Tallinn Radio) transmitters.

9. Other activities

Participation in IHO Working Groups

EMA is participating in the following committees and WG: HSSC, SNPWG and MSDIWG.

Meteorological data collection

In frame of the project EfficienSea (Efficient, Safe and Sustainable Traffic at Sea) for the Baltic Sea a portal called METOC (http://on-line.msi.ttu.ee/metoc/) was established. This portal gives information about all operative/ real time measurements in the Estonian coast and coastal sea. The METOC collects all measured data from different measurement stations of the Marine System Institute of the University of Technology of Tallinn, the Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology of Estonia and also from sensors of navigational buoys of the Estonian Maritime Administration. From measurement stations the following information is available, which is important for navigation: wind speed and direction, visibility, sea level, wave height etc. From buoys information regarding wave height and period is available.

Information regarding weather observation and forecast is available on the home page of the Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology of Estonia (http:// www.emhi.ee/index.php?nlan=eng).

Geospatial studies

Cooperation with involved institutions to prepare for INSPIRE Directive.
