  1. Development of a Regional Marine Electronic Highway in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore by S. Adrian Ross, Senior Programme Officer, PEMSEA and James Paw, Technical Officer, IMO London

  2. Background on the MEH Project 1996 - 2002 • Regional Conference on Sustainable Financing Mechanisms – Public/Private Sector Partnerships, November 1996 • GEF/UNDP/IMO Regional Programme Steering Committee Meetings 1996, 1997, 1998 • TTEG Meeting, May 1997 • World Bank Prefeasibility Study: The SE Asia MEH, June 1997 • Regional Workshop on the MEH, October 1998 • IFC Feasibility Analysis of the SE Asian MEH, April 1999 • PDF Block B Grant Request: Development of a Regional MEH in the East Asian Seas with a First Phase in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore, March 2001 – December 2002

  3. MARINE ELECTRONIC HIGHWAY • An innovative marine information and infrastructure system that: • enhances maritime services and navigational safety standards; • integrates marine environment protection and sustainable development of the coastal and marine resources; and • provides a sustainable financing mechanism through public-private partnerships.

  5. SUSTAINABLE FINANCING • Partnership arrangements involving: • national government agencies • shipping and maritime industries • environmental/coastal resource managers • data providers/data users/technology providers

  6. Financial Sustainability of the MEH • Public Private Sector Partnerships • Revenues from Products and Services Considerations to Generate Revenues: • UNCLOS (Art. 26 and Art. 43) • SOLAS (Minimum Threshold of NAVAIDS)

  7. MEH Demonstration Project 7 Components, 26 Activities Duration: 4 years Geographic Scope: Sector 1-9 [ STRAITREP Area ] Hydrographic survey: Sector 1-6 The Partners: Indonesia Malaysia Singapore GEF World Bank IMO IHO PEMSEA INTERTANKO

  8. MEH Demonstration Project Specific Objectives

  9. MEH Demonstration Project Specific Objectives

  10. Some Expected Outputs of the MEH Demonstration Project • Software including: • MEH administrative and management mechanism • Partnership arrangements • Sustainable financing mechanism • MEH Fund blueprint • Proposal for MEH full-scale development project

  11. Some Expected Outputs of the MEH Demonstration Project • Hardware: • Operational pilot MEH system, including: • 1 DGPS station • 2 AIS stations • 1 offshore station for oceanographic data • Upgraded tide stations with telemetric capability • High resolution hydrographic data and ENCs • 3 MEH Data Centres

  12. Regional Marine Electronic Highway Project Phase 1:Straits of Malacca and Singapore Stage 1- Demonstration Project Stage 2 – Full-scale Development Project Phase 2: Extending the MEH in other sea areas
