*1005(T)PORT DALHOUSIE - EAST AND WEST PIERS – ACCESS FORBIDDEN

Reference Chart: 2044

A recent engineering investigation identified structural issues and safety concerns with both the East and West piers at Port Dalhousie. In light of the inspection findings, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is taking action to protect the safety of the public by prohibiting vessel, vehicular, and pedestrian access to the piers.

Vessels can still safely navigate the waters surrounding the piers, but will be unable to moor at the piers. The City of St. Catharines will accommodate boaters as possible at other local wharves.

*819(T)AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AIS)

AIS Application-Specific Messages (ASM) and AIS AtoN

Mariners are advised that the Canadian Coast Guard will perform a test of AIS Application-Specific Messages (AIS- ASM) on the Pacific Coast from the Sand Heads meteorological/hydrological station: 49°06’21’’N 123°18’12’’W, and may extend this testing to other stations in the coming months. The test will start at the end of August and consist of broadcasting meteorological/hydrological (MET/HYDRO) data through AIS binary “Message 8”.

Although AIS was originally developed as a means for positive identification and tracking of ships, it includes functionalities to transmit binary messages such as MET/HYDRO information and other types of data. These additional functionalities of AIS may be useful to mariners to assist in onboard voyage planning.

Ships need to be equipped with a proper Class “A” AIS device for the accurate onboard display of AIS message. The IMO mandatory carriage requirement for the Class “A” AIS display^{Footnote 1}is the Minimum Keyboard Display (MKD) which displays the binary data in an alphanumeric form. However, as there is no current requirement for the MKD to be capable of decoding all AIS binary messages, the display and use of the ASM information may require additional hardware and/or software^{Footnote 2} .

AIS Aids to Navigation (AtoN)

The International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) defines an AtoN as:
‘a device or system external to vessels that is designed and operated to enhance the safe and efficient navigation of vessels and/or vessel traffic’.^{Footnote 3}

The primary purpose of an AIS AtoN Station is to promote and enhance safety and efficiency of navigation by one or more of the following:

• Providing a positive and all-weather means of identification;
• Complementing existing services (e.g. RACONS) from AtoN;
• Transmitting accurate positions of floating AtoN;
• Indicating if a floating AtoN is off position (monitoring the status of an AtoN);
• Marking or delineating tracks, routes, areas, and limits;
• Marking offshore structures;
• Enable timely marking of new hazards (fixed or dynamic) using Virtual AIS AtoN.

The use of AIS within the marine aids to navigation service is accomplished by the broadcasting of the aids to navigation report message “Message 21”.

An AIS AtoN can be implemented in three ways, Real, Synthetic, and Virtual.

1. Physical/real AIS AtoN: An AIS device which is physically located on the AtoN and transmits “Message 21”.
2. Synthetic AIS AtoN: There are 2 types of Synthetic AIS AtoN – Monitored and Predicted.
   1. Monitored: A “Message 21” is transmitted from a nearby AIS base station. The AtoN physically exists but there is no AIS device on it. A communication link is installed on the AtoN to allow the monitoring of its status.
   2. Predicted: A “Message 21” is transmitted from a nearby AIS base station. The AtoN physically exists but there is neither an AIS device on it nor a communication link. Status and position of the AtoN cannot be monitored.
3. Virtual AIS AtoN: A “Message 21” is transmitted from a nearby AIS base station for an AtoN that does not physically exist. The “Message 21” will clearly identify this as a virtual AIS AtoN.

Displays and Symbology

As the AIS information available to mariners will be dependent on their display system, not all transmitted information may be displayed. Mariners are encouraged to install systems that provide AIS overlay on either ECDIS or Radar, or both.

Of those vessels that are AIS equipped the various displays available can range from no display on some Class B units, through to the mandatory Class A MKD, and to a full ECDIS or Radar overlay. In the absence of an ECDIS or Radar overlay, mariners will not be able to fully utilize the AIS AtoN functionality. Also note that there is a variance in the information that can be displayed on ECDIS or Radar equipment by the different AIS manufacturers.

The symbology that may be displayed on nautical charts, display systems and the MKD is summarised below.

Nautical Charts On nautical charts AIS AtoN are indicated by a magenta circle surrounding the existing AtoN symbol and an adjacent legend stating AIS. The font will be straight for fixed AtoN and italic for floating AtoN.
A physical AIS AtoN provided as an overlay on ECDIS, Radar or other display systems are indicated by a diamond shape with crossed lines at the reported position of the AtoN. A physical AIS AtoN that is off position will use the same symbol but in red. A virtual AIS AtoN is indicated by a dotted line diamond shape with the crossed lines at the reported position.

Physical AIS Aton	Physical AIS AtoN off position	Virtual AIS AtoN

Minimum Keyboard Display
The mandatory MKD is only required to display data in alphanumeric form. Some MKD are units supplemented by a small graphical display. Exact presentation will vary but this layout below would be typical of MKD displays.

Range	Bearing	Name
XX.XX	XXX.X	XXXXXXXXX
XX.XX	XXX.X	XXXXXXXXX
XX.XX	XXX.X	XXXXXXXXX
Latitude		XXX XX.XXX
Longitude		XXX XX.XXX

Feedback on AIS-ASM
Mariners are requested to provide feedback on the AIS-ASM test bed to their applicable Regional MCTS Office.

Contact information can be found in the publication Radio Aids to Marine Navigation, Part 1.

Reference Chart: 4841

On behalf of the Transport Canada Port Official, compulsory pilotage vessels are hereby advised; that at any time they may have to depart and/or maneuver within the public port due to the possibility of impending weather.

From December 1, 2019, through to March 31, 2020, adverse weather procedures have been established for the Placentia Bay area in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Section 76 of the Canada Marine Act (CMA) provides the Port Official, through the Practices and Procedures for Public Ports, the authority to issue instructions to vessels operating within the limits of the Public Ports of Come by Chance and Long Harbour.

Section 58 of the CMA and Section 3 of the Practice and Procedures for Public Ports provide the Port Official with the authority to instruct vessels to leave the public ports if necessary.

A determination by the Port Official to suspend operations within the confines of the public ports will be made upon review of current weather forecasts for Placentia Bay, along with the advice and consideration of the Placentia Bay Weather subcommittee.

Following this determination, appropriate instructions to vessels will be issued as a navigational warning (NAVWARN) on behalf of Transport Canada and broadcast by Placentia MCTS.

Port operations closure/ Resumption of operations:

1.Depart – Port Operations Ceased

Should the weather be forecasted to deteriorate within Placentia Bay exceed the recommendation by the Placentia Bay Weather Subcommittee that Placentia MCTS has permission, through these instructions, for the Public Ports of Come by Chance and Long Harbour to cease all navigation, including those vessels at anchor and that all commercial vessels depart and or maneuver within the public ports under the direction and supervision of the Atlantic Pilotage Authority as required to ensure a safe and efficient exit of the public port.
