‘BiSchi Online’ – The new data source on inland shipping
Developed by Port of Hamburg Marketing, the new ‘BiSchi Online’ service provides callers with instant briefing on the inland waterway network in Germany. Whether on water levels, berth searches or the obligatory glance at the traffic situation – the new digital map service supplies all relevant data simply and free of charge.
This data portal supplies inland shipping players and other interested parties with a glimpse of real-time da- ta about inland shipping and traffic flow on inland wa- terways. Information on available load/discharge ports and the situation there, especially, illuminates the exis- ting transport network and its potential. Display of ship positions facilitates viewing on the actual state of traf- fic. The embedded search function allows rapid naviga- tion to the required data, such as the water level at Wittenberge, for example.
‘BiSchi Online’ can be viewed at www.hafen-ham- burg.de/de/wasserstrassen and integrates the fol- lowing official data and notifications with geographical references facilitating use of a web application:
• RIS-Index: Standardized structure of geographically
VIEW OF THE ELBE LATERAL CANAL FROM THE LÜNEBURG SHIP LIFTS IN SCHARNEBECK
referenced descriptions of all objects relevant to inland shipping, e.g. the location of inland ports, lock cham- bers and bridges
• PEGELONLINE: Water levels at all inland and coastal gauges on federal waterways
• Notice to Skippers – NtS: Latest official notification of occurrences on inland waterways that affect safe- ty or traffic flow, e.g. temporary closures, mainte- nance work, etc.
• Tracking & Tracing: Position display for vessels on the basis of AIS signals transmitted
Implementation of the project is subsidized by the Fed- eral program by the ‘Transnational cooperation’ project of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Construction and Homeland. ■
