NAVAREA XVII_XVIII OPERATIONS AND UPDATES Operational Issues Canada finalized incorporating NAVAREA warnings into our domestic Navigational Warning Issuing System (NIS) platform in March 2024. The supplemental EGC service provided seasonally by Iqaluit MCTS Centre via HF-NBDP experienced 27hrs of outages in 2023 with no outages so far in 2024. Changes in National Coordinator Contact Information and IRCC Strategic Performance Indicator (SPI) for MSI capacity NAVAREA duties transitioned to Iqaluit MCTS in May 2024 for the Arctic season, May to Dec. Prescott MCTS has been designated the alternate Centre from Dec to May. Changes to the GMDSS Master Plan As of JAN 2024, Canada discontinued the use of NAVAREA rectangular broadcasts although METAREA broadcasts are still promulgated this way. Canada has proposed to discontinue the use of Ferndale and Pass Lake NAVTEX stations within the Great Lakes region but for now they are still operational. All other NAVTEX stations located in Canada are being upgraded throughout 2024-2025. 2022/23 data available for Greenland s Upernavik NAVTEX station located in NAVAREA XVIII Updated GISIS with: SafetyCast broadcast schedule Contact information for Iqaluit MCTS Vital or Urgent Navigational Warnings Issued Nil.

FUTURE NAVAREA OPERATIONS S-124 Development Participate in ongoing meetings: Digital Incubator, DCEG, S-124 PT; INF paper to NCSR11 outlining the progress made by Canada, and challenges encountered, in establishing an S-124 e-Navigation service prior to IHO s deadline of 01 January 2026; Implemented the dev version of the version 1.0.0 of the S124 standard. So far, the GetSummary and the Get requests have been implemented. We use the SECOM library developed by Nikolaos Vastardis in the S124 service. The NAVWARNs of the S124 dev service come from our lab environment. We need the IP addresses of the users who want to connect to our S124 dev service to unblock them in our firewall; Generated a public certificate with our account from the Service Identity Provider (created by the Digital Incubator) and have added it to our S124 service along with the signature of the data; Currently updating our NIS to be able to map all the S124 categories with the categories in NIS. So far, we have mapped approximately 30% of the S124 categories. We are using the other S124 category for the other 70% unmapped categories in NIS. Our goal is to update the categories and templates in NIS to map all the S124 categories relevant to the Canadian context; Deployed the prod version of the S124 service in Aug 2024 (https://s124.ccg- gcc.gc.ca/api/secom/v1/object); After having updated NIS to map all the S124 categories, the version 1.5.0 of the S124 standard and the subscription feature should be the next elements we will work on. Other Future NAVAREA Initiatives Guidance (examples) - Plan to establish contingency arrangements with NAVAREA XIX - Will coordinate with Natural Resources Canada for use of its space weather forecasting products - Intend to participate with the Space Activity Advisory Group on operational issues with space operations and space weather.
