NATIONAL REPORT OF

Executive summary

This report summarizes the activities of the Estonian Maritime Administration in the field of hydrography since the Baltic Sea Hydrographic Commission 16th Conference in 2011.

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 2011 hydrographic survey in Estonian waters was carried out as follows:

1) 228 km² - on HELCOM routes in the Gulf of Finland and the Northern Baltic; 2) 449 km² - on coastal routes in the Gulf of Finland; 3) 139 km² - Lake Peipsi; 4) 42 km² - Lake Võrtsjärv; 5) 2 km² - and Pärnu rivers; 6) 4 km² - Harbour areas (surveyed by private companies).

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

3. New charts & Updates

ENCs:

Estonian waters are completely covered with all relevant navigational bands. Total: 81 cells in navigational purpose bands 2 – 6 (Band 2 – 7 cells, Band 3 – 14 cells, Band 4 – 21 cells, Band 5 – 12 cells, Band 6 – 31 cells). ENCs are updated in real time.

At the end of 2009 WMS webpage was accomplised 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” In 2011 7 new cells, 7 new editions and 18 updates were produced.

ENC Distribution method
