BASIC  PROJECT  DATA

Project ID: PA1A085
Website: www.roris.ro

 

NEED  AND  ADDED  VALUE  FOR  THE  DANUBE  REGION  STRATEGY

Within the project a most complex system in the area of Intelligent Systems of Naval Transport was developed, taking into account that it covers all ports with significant traffic on the Romanian Danube sector. Having a total of 36 locations geographical distribution, it fulfills the following functions: to communicate with the navigators and to send out information concerning the fairway, to supply the authorities with information regarding the vessel routes, river traffic management, dangerous goods transportation management, the prevention of accidents as well as statistics.

 

OBJECTIVE(S)  OF  THE  PROJECT

Sole objective of the project was to develop an intelligent transport system in order to ensure the safety of navigation on the Danube, the Danube–Black Sea Canal and the Poarta Alba–Midia Navodari Canal.

 

CONDUCTED  PROJECT  ACTIVITIES

In the second stage of the project it was necessary to purchase equipment to provide complete VHF and AIS coverage for the Romanian Danube sector. Software adjustments were implemented to update the services in line with the new European regulations in the RIS area, to add new services (to support the reduction of the disaster-related effects) and to allow the data exchange with the national RIS centres in Europe. Extension of the system to the Danube-Black Sea and the Poarta Albă – Midia Năvodari Canals.

The project scope, defining its successful implementation, is defined by the completion of the following high level milestones:

  • Finalization and acceptance of the infrastructure works and equipment (9 new pylons construction, refurbishment, IT hardware and related software)
  • Finalization and acceptance of the VHF system deployment in 28 locations
  • Finalization and acceptance of the Radar system deployment in 13 locations
  • Finalization and acceptance of the AIS system deployment containing 12 redundant base-stations
  • Finalization and acceptance of the 13 CCTV system
  • Finalization and acceptance of the meteorological system deployment in 24 locations
  • Finalization and acceptance of the 18 units radio links system
  • Finalization and acceptance of the RIS system related services (NTS, ERI, ECDIS, Hull database, Calamity Abatement support, Dangerous Goods, Ships and Crew Registration)
  • Finalization and acceptance of the overall systems integration into one single RIS national centre and interfacing with external systems (AFDJ, ACN, Border Police, external RIS centres)

 

TRANSBOUNDARY  IMPACT

The Danube River is used for navigation by vessels flying all kinds of flags.

Between rkm 1075 – rkm 845.5 the Danube is shared by Romania and Serbia.
Between rkm 845.5 – rkm 375 the Danube is shared by Romania and Bulgaria.
