+ | Conventional Racon usually triggered by and displayed on either or both of the below bandwidths. The different bandwidths are usually known as either; | ||
+ | *X-band = 3 cm = 9 GHz | ||
+ | *S-band = 10 cm = 3 GHz. | ||

+ | ===Strip Light=== | ||
+ | A low intensity light, usually used in addition to a painted line. The light can be several meters long, and placed either horizontally or vertically. The Strip light might have a rhythmic light character and colored light. Usual use is to mark pier heads, quay walls and other structures. Due to low efficiency and range of the light, on nautical charts the flare symbol is not used for charting strip lights. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Lite Pipe==== | ||
+ | The lite pipe is a system of LED- diodes in a pipe, forming a highly efficient strip light. Lite pipe length can be 2-6 meters, and range up to 22M. Although being similar to a conventional strip light, the long range makes this light navigationally more interesting. This light will seem like a conventional light at long distance, and show up as a bright strip light at closer range. Lite pipes® can be used as emergency- and backup lights in lighthouses. | ||

+ | ===Manually Activated AtoN=== | ||
+ | Manually activated aids to navigation include Lights and fog signals, which are activated by radio. Activation process might be "automatic" by f.ex. multiple key presses on a specific VHF- channel, or by a VHF- request to a harbor master or similar official. Due to different activation processes, the manually activated lights and fog signals do need an additional note on charts. Instead of the note, a reference to an associated publication might be given. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ====Using of AIS for urgent, temporary and dynamic information==== | ||
+ | AIS marking is needed because of a wreck or other obstruction to shipping. | ||
+ | |||
+ | One or several real or V-AIS AtoN will be used to mark the area of danger (as soon as possible for emergency markings). AIS messages will be broadcasted to vessels in the vicinity, the associated markings will be visible ONLY in vessels with updated radar and ECDIS- equipment, capable of displaying AIS AtoN. Procedures for these broadcasts are found in the publication [[S-123|Radio Services]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The V-AIS will normally display as an "emergency wreck marking" or "isolated danger", and have a name best describing the reason of its use. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The base station for these V-AIS objects is JUSSLAND MRCC in position 32°31′.50 S 60°54′.07 E, with a range of 50M. | ||
+ | |||
+ | MMSI- numbers of these AIS AtoN will be in the range between 995796500 and 995796599. The range might be extended by the use of relaying AIS- equipment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | These emergency-marking V-AIS objects will have Unique identifiers according to IALA- recommendation, with character T as the first character of the alphanumeric code. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The identifiers will start from range: JU-A2N-T0000000000000000001, with increasing numbers. Numbers will normally be reused only if a temporary AtoN is periodically used in the exact same position as before. | ||
+ | |||

Navigation Services
a place to discuss and follow the work
Knowledgeable WG members: Stefan Engström (FI)
What specifically does the "Navigation Services" contain?
- Notice to Mariners?
The following is based on the test dataset, Jussland
but IALA has S-201 Aids to Navigation Information - so what does this add?
Structures/Supports
The support or structure of any equipment is normally the physical structure upon which equipment is placed. Usually the same support is shared among different equipment. For all physical equipment, positions given are for the support. Exceptions are made for virtual equipment, where the virtual position is more significant for navigation.
Lights
Lights include navigationally important or interesting lights with the characteristics of conventional navigational lights as described in S-12.

Sound Signals
Sound signals include conventional sound signaling equipment.

TABLE QUESTION: why not have Siren and Horn be listed under separate column as 'Type', like in Strip Light?
Racon
Conventional Racon usually triggered by and displayed on either or both of the below bandwidths. The different bandwidths are usually known as either;
- X-band = 3 cm = 9 GHz
- S-band = 10 cm = 3 GHz.
Station Name | Position | Symbol | Frequency | Sector | Range | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mickleden | 32° 31,00’S 61° 06,86’E | G | 3 Ghz 9 Ghz | 0-360 | 15M | xxx |
Strip Light
A low intensity light, usually used in addition to a painted line. The light can be several meters long, and placed either horizontally or vertically. The Strip light might have a rhythmic light character and colored light. Usual use is to mark pier heads, quay walls and other structures. Due to low efficiency and range of the light, on nautical charts the flare symbol is not used for charting strip lights.
Lite Pipe
The lite pipe is a system of LED- diodes in a pipe, forming a highly efficient strip light. Lite pipe length can be 2-6 meters, and range up to 22M. Although being similar to a conventional strip light, the long range makes this light navigationally more interesting. This light will seem like a conventional light at long distance, and show up as a bright strip light at closer range. Lite pipes® can be used as emergency- and backup lights in lighthouses.

Manually Activated AtoN
Manually activated aids to navigation include Lights and fog signals, which are activated by radio. Activation process might be "automatic" by f.ex. multiple key presses on a specific VHF- channel, or by a VHF- request to a harbor master or similar official. Due to different activation processes, the manually activated lights and fog signals do need an additional note on charts. Instead of the note, a reference to an associated publication might be given.
Station Name | Position | Characteristic | Service Details | Type | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mickleden | 32° 31,00’S 61° 06,86’E | Siren(2) 30s Whistle | Horn is activated by keying the mic 5 times on VHF-FM Ch 81. Horn will operate for 30 minutes after activation | Sound | xxx |

AIS AtoN
In the case of virtual AIS AtoN, the mariner will first and foremost be interested in the position of the "virtual position", even such structure actually do not exist. The range of the AIS AtoN will anyway depend of the actual broadcasting base-station, which might also be interesting for the mariner. This information is usually not displayed on the chart, where distinction between real and synthetic AIS AtoN is not made.

Virtual AIS
V-AIS is only encoded into S-101 where it is known that the V-AIS is intended to be permanent, or deployed for a specified fixed period.
Where it is known that a V-AIS aid to navigation is moved or withdrawn on a regular basis and/or at short notice, such that implementing these changes through the application of ENC Updates is impractical, the virtual aid should not be encoded. This publication might include some V-AIS that are not included in the S-101 ENC, together with an explanation of the use.
Virtual AtoN deemed not to be appropriate to display in charts or publications are reflected in Maritime Safety Information (MSI).
Using of AIS for urgent, temporary and dynamic information
AIS marking is needed because of a wreck or other obstruction to shipping.
One or several real or V-AIS AtoN will be used to mark the area of danger (as soon as possible for emergency markings). AIS messages will be broadcasted to vessels in the vicinity, the associated markings will be visible ONLY in vessels with updated radar and ECDIS- equipment, capable of displaying AIS AtoN. Procedures for these broadcasts are found in the publication Radio Services.
The V-AIS will normally display as an "emergency wreck marking" or "isolated danger", and have a name best describing the reason of its use.
The base station for these V-AIS objects is JUSSLAND MRCC in position 32°31′.50 S 60°54′.07 E, with a range of 50M.
MMSI- numbers of these AIS AtoN will be in the range between 995796500 and 995796599. The range might be extended by the use of relaying AIS- equipment.
These emergency-marking V-AIS objects will have Unique identifiers according to IALA- recommendation, with character T as the first character of the alphanumeric code.
The identifiers will start from range: JU-A2N-T0000000000000000001, with increasing numbers. Numbers will normally be reused only if a temporary AtoN is periodically used in the exact same position as before.
Temporary Markings
Markings that change temporarily on a short notice cannot always be updated or included in charts or publications.
The Jussland Notices to Mariners will provide further information of these changes.
Seasonal markings
Seasonal changes to or replacement of buoys in JUSSLAND include those:
- made during the winter-season
- during periods of ice risk

Category of AtoN
There are three categories of AtoN, reflecting their navigational significance. Also V-AIS objects should be categorized.
Category number | level of navigational significance* | Example | Availability objective % |
---|---|---|---|
1 | VITAL | lighted AtoN and racons that are considered essential for marking landfalls, primary routes, channels, waterways, dangers or the protection of the marine environment. | 99.8% |
2 | IMPORTANT | it may include any lighted AtoN and racons that mark secondary routes and those used to supplement the marking of primary routes. | 99.0% |
3 | NECESSARY | xxx | 97.0% |
*An AtoN or system of AtoN that is considered by the Competent Authority to be of this level of navigational significance.
