Vilagarcía es un municipio con tradición de radioaficionados, pero con el acceso a las nuevas tecnologías esta afición se fue perdiendo. Ahora el vilagarciano José Luis Campaña, socio del radio club Fene, pretende despertar el interés por este sistema entre los ciudadanos de esta zona con la organización de charlas técnicas sobre radioafición. La actividad se desarrollará este sábado en el centro sociocultural de Castroaguín, a partir de las 10 horas.

Además, Campaña y otros radioaficionados proyectan instalar un receptor AIS para ofrecer de

EMSA.- Ship Safety Standards

Ship Safety Standards

The monitoring of the work of IMO in the field of ship safety standards, including the reporting on developments in the relevant international legislation is part of the agency tasks. This task will entail technical evaluation of IMO submissions and technical assistance in the preparation of submissions to IMO as appropriate. Contribution will be provided to the follow-up of developments concerning:

  • Directive 96/98/EC on marine equipment,
  • Directive 1999/35/EC on a system of mandatory surveys for the safe operation of regular ro-ro ferry and high-speed passenger craft services,
  • Directive 2001/96/EC establishing harmonised requirements and procedures for the safe loading and unloading of a bulk carriers,
  • Directive 2003/25/EC on specific stability requirements for ro-ro passenger ships, and

LRIT Cooperative Data Centre

LRIT Cooperative Data Centre

The objective of the EU LRIT CDC is to identify and track EU flagged vessels worldwide and integrate them into the wider international Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system. 

The system was initially set up for the purposes of maritime security, but was soon extended for use in areas such as Search and Rescue (SAR), maritime safety and protection of the marine environment. Ships send automatic position reports every 6 hours, which are received by satellite, and securely transferred to data centres which manage LRIT information on behalf of flag States.

The European Union Cooperative Data Centre (EU LRIT CDC) disseminates LRIT information on EU-flagged ships around the world on behalf of all European flag States, and exchanges information

Vessel Tracking Globally. Understanding LRIT

EMSA

http://www.emsa.europa.eu/operations/lrit/items/id/256.html?cid=117

The long-range identification and tracking (LRIT) of ships aims to enhance security for government authorities. LRIT provides ship identity and current location information in sufficient time for a government to evaluate the security risk posed by a ship off its coast and to respond, if necessary, to reduce the risk.

 

La fatiga de navegacion

Fatigue

At its 18th session in November 1993, the IMO Assembly adopted resolution A.772(18) on fatigue factors in manning and safety. The resolution recognizes that there is no universally accepted definition of fatigue but draws the attention of all parties involved in ship operations to the factors which can contribute to fatigue including, but not limited to, those listed below and to take them into account when making decisions on ship operations.

Guidance on Fatigue Mitigation and Management

To assist in the development of a maritime safety culture by addressing the issue of fatigue, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed practical guidance to assist interested parties to better understand and manage the issue of “fatigue.” 

These guidelines have been disseminated as
