AIS satellite coverage –
Southern Africa waters & Oceans
Satellite AIS – Africa East region 09April - 917 vessels in view
AIS info – each vessel:
Vessel’s ID – name, IMO number, Call Sign, MMSI, type, size & tonnage

Western Indian Ocean Marine Highway Project
Project description:
“The project’s development objective is to increase the safety and efficiency of
navigation. This will be achieved by establishing a
demonstration marine highway to guide ships around environmentally sensitive
areas and through selected busy sea lanes, and by supporting widening the regional
agreement on port state control and implementation of its provisions”
WIOMH Project Regional Co-
Ordination RSA, MOZ, TAN, KEN,
SEY, COM, MAD, MAU & FR la REU
Western Indian Ocean Marine Highway Project
Hydrography & Aids to Navigation - SAMSA:1. Survey of the recommended route – Mozambique channel –
submission sent to IMO for Sub-Comm. on Safety of Nav. to consider this July
2. Dredge surveys for Maputo & Dar es Salaam3. Installation of AIS base stations and mobile stations
Environment protection - IOC:4. Sensitivity atlas completed . Oil spill equipment provided.5. Preparation of oil spill & HNS spill contingency plans
Training – Sustainability:6. Training of Port State Control Officers; Aids to Nav. and
Introduction to Hydrography & Cartography 7. Training of spill responders, levels 1, 2 & 3. Train-the-Trainers
course – to ensure continued competence
SAMSA the designate host to establish a RCC for Marine Pollution IMP-MED requested SAMSA to advise on WIOMH Project model for
the Marine Highway project for the S. Mediterranean shipping route
Western Indian Ocean Marine Highway‘Recommended Route’
Seychelles, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique & South Africa: All countries agreed on the route and supported
its formal submission to the IMO – SA has done this
Route submission lodged with IMO – to be proposed at IMO Sub-Comm. Safety of Navigation 02-06 July
Route will assist with safety of navigation through enhanced aids to navigation, AIS tracking, MRCCs involved in monitoring vessel traffic, radio comms
Provides to navies the track vessels’ will use – to enhance the escort capability & smaller areas to monitor

Inspections - Richards Bay – 1&9DecBoth vessels underwent PSC, checked IOMOU info – all OK Deck/Eng Log books, OWS & ORB, o’board disch v/v examinedVessels found to be well-run Inconclusive result Need oil sample water/ship –to compare
Africa - update
LRIT vessel tracking - up to 1000 miles from coastline• SA is compliant with IMO - SOLAS Chapter V,
Safety of Navigation, Regulation 19-1• SA LRIT National Data Centre (NDC) is fully
operational • IMO & SA has invited AU Members to LRIT
Workshop planned for 24-25 April in Cape Town• SA has extended an invitation to other African
Member States to form the Africa Co-Operative DC
• Kenya, Mozambique, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia have expressed interest in the Africa CDC – more expected
• Ghana finalising tests, The Gambia next to testNote: This will enhance maritime domain awareness
Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT)

Regional Update
SADC – sharing of capability for vessel detection and tracking (radar & AIS)
Djibouti Code of Conduct Repression of piracy & armed robbery
against ships (based upon ReCAAP ISC)• Info Sharing Centres (ISC) – Dar es
Salaam, Mombasa & Sana’a – set-up and functioning – share info with IMO, IMB, UKMTO, etc
• Training being co-ordinated by the IMO Vessel Management System (VMS):
Fisheries – monitoring, control & surveillance project • Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique and
Tanzania share access to VMS data, patrols
Extended Continental Shelf Claims
Electro-optical / infrared sensors Multi-mode radar – synthetic aperture
radar AIS – land-based and satellite GPS – essential for timing & positioning Airborne - tethered aerostats, UAVs,
Aircraft – manned – fixed wing, helicopters
Space - satellite-based sensors – imagery for vessels, oil pollution (deliberate/accidental), bathymetric (space charts), weather, waves, currents, communications, etc
Fusion of data – overlays, interpretation, processing, etc
Technologies available +++

Indian Ocean Naval Symposium11-13April - feedback
Indian Ocean Naval Symposium11-13April - feedback
Chiefs of Navies, Admirals of 32 countries attended: Very concerned about piracy in the Region Agreed that information-sharing, co-operation
and collaboration crucial for maritime domain awareness
Civilian and Defence entities must share valuable information, offshore and along coast (e.g. small vessel movements)
Shared technology platforms – access/integrate data
Legislative changes needed to address security issues
Collective agreement to ‘work together’ Information Sharing Centres (ISC) and Regional
Coordination Centres (RCC) are important players
Challenges, Experiences, Lessons learned
General comments regarding Sharing information: Poor co-operation between national
stakeholders, cannot expect good regional co-operation
Often difficult to obtain proper information/reports from Points of Contact – results in project delays, misalignment, non-delivery, wasted effort/resources
Defence & Civilian stakeholders often do not share – ‘confidential’ & ‘rules do not allow’ …
Technology platforms & databases can facilitate data sharing without infringing security requirements
Political Will often within projects yields good results
Capacity, Training and Sustainability – is CRUCIAL
Summary
Immediate access to accurate, reliable, dynamic data for integration into Maritime Information Services
Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) – single-window concept – access to ALL navigation & vessel data and information
Sharing of data within an agreed framework – nationally, regionally & continentally, incl. patrols (air/sea)
Capacity to detect, monitor & track all vessels regardless of size and type is crucial
Co-Ordinated Response to ‘suspicious behaviour’ of vessels within Territorial, EEZ, Regional & IOR
Collaboration needed between ALL stakeholders - Teamwork
Awareness needed of all available technologies available to function more effectively & efficiently
Co-ordinated approach to problem-solving, sharing resources – to create synergies, incl. both Defence & Civilian entities
Improve on surveillance systems to provide comprehensive maritime security and environmental monitoring
Public Private Partnership is needed to address challenges in enhancing maritime domain awareness
The integrated utilisation of appropriate technologies with response assets will secure the region
Funds are limited – we must Co-operate, share, integrate, ‘change the way we do business’
We need to work TOGETHER & SMARTER with what we have
