U.S. S-100 / Charting
Precision marine navigation is the ability of a vessel to navigate safely and efficiently within U.S. waterways. It relies on foundational oceanographic, meteorological, and electronic navigational charting data; observations; predictions and forecasts; and critical maritime information. NOAA continues to work towards getting this information easily accessible and readily available in internationally recognized navigation standards, such as S-100. Doing so will provide support to mariners throughout every step of a voyage. This presentation will provide a programmatic update on this valuable initiative and ongoing implementation.

Government of Canada S-100 Service Status
Adoption of emerging S-100 standard are the key to enable our digital waterways, this presentation will describe the Canadian approach from production to dissemination of S-100 services in Canada. Feedback form early adopters will be showcase and some idea about transboundary services will be discussed.
In light of International Maritime Organization’s Initial Description of Maritime Services (Circ. 1610) government agencies in Canada has moved to prepare for S-100 based services. A inter-departmental S-100 committee has been stood up in an effort to harmonize and share experience among the responsible government agencies. Several services are under development and this paper details these efforts to date along with the lessons learned.

Harbour Infrastructure (S-131) Information Exchange
Historically there have been challenges with the nautical information flow from ports to hydrographic offices. The international community led by International Hydrographic Office and International Harbour Master Association has renewed efforts at improving this information flow to prepape for berth to berth navigation and the onset of MASS. This paper highlights efforts underway to improve services and mutual understanding so that information vital to safe passage can flow more freely.

Queueing System For Labor in Ports of LA/LB
For 100 years, queuing for labor at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach was based on date and time of ARRIVAL at the ports. This incentivized container ships to race across the Pacific to cross the 20 mile line from the ports. With the backup, the container ships then anchored/drifted/loitered for weeks in the crowded waters off LA/LB waiting to go to a berth. Industry determined this was not safe as the number of container ships anchored/drifting/loitering off LA/LB increased from 20 to 40 to 60 to a record 86 on 16 November 2021, which was not good for safety or air quality. In 27 days, a working group led by PMA and PMSA, with members of ocean carrier and terminals, developed a new system for queuing for labor based on date and time of DEPARTURE from the last port of call before LA/LB using satellite technology, which brought the number of drifting/loitering container ships to 0 on 3 February. Captain Louttit will brief how the system was developed and its success in LA/LB which expanded to the port of Oakland.

Addressing Maritime Industry Challenges of Autonomous
Functionality
Autonomous and remote-control technology is rapidly advancing and transforming the maritime industry. This presentation will look at defining maritime autonomy from a classification perspective. Additionally, we will discuss the challenges that autonomy development and implementation faces within the industry. With a highlight on current developments within autonomous technology, the presentation will also demonstrate the ABS verification and validation process for reviewing and approving autonomous functionality.

Weather Observations from Ships via AIS
This presentation with provide an update on a project led by the US Army Corps of Engineers, in partnership with the Maritime Administrations and NOAA, with support from Serco, Inc. to use the Automatic Identification System (AIS) equipment already installed aboard commercial vessels to transmit weather observations from an automatic weather sensor. The presentation will provide an overview of the concept, testing efforts to date, and preliminary results of the testing.
