Understanding of the Maritime Future Mentality; Safe E-navigation and Safe Maritime Surface Communication

Developing and changing technology affects all sectors globally. Although it primarily affects information systems digitally, it affects all sectors indirectly. Maritime transport, the most important transportation mode in the world, is affected by technological progress as seafarers, ships, and ports. When used for its intended purpose, the technology employs intelligent and rational solutions based on the logic of identifying previous errors and developing predictions accordingly. Maritime transportation is the movement of ships between ports safely and without harming the environment. The sea is a dynamic surface not previously exposed to fixed effects and is affected by meteorological and environmental conditions. As the international maritime authorities keep pace with technological advancements, they have embraced the e-navigation concept, a digital revolution that is set to transform the industry. This shift to Electronic Navigation requires all operations to be digital, making transmission easier and more efficient. It also mandates uninterrupted and high-quality digital communication with ships' land facilities during the entire voyage. ECDIS, one of the advanced automation technology products used for e-navigation, and the vector map ENC it uses are of great importance. ENC maps are produced with specific standards. S-100, which is described as the latest and most advanced standard, provides sailors with good opportunities for safe navigation and communication. The study has been prepared to explain e-navigation types of equipment, their standards, and how they communicate according to cyber security.
