Abstract

The following paper reports on the progress of a large collaborative project in the UK to investigate novel strategies for the implementation of GNSS within all phases of marine navigation. The project is funded by the UK Government (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) under the leadership of the IESSG at the University of Nottingham. The project receives the support from a prestigious team of collaborators which include the UK Ministry of Defence Hydrographic Office, Trinity House Lighthouse Service, Northern Lighthouse Board, Commissioners for Irish Lights and the Port of London Authority. This consortium is of strategic importance, as their operations encompass the provision of aids to navigation for all phases of marine transport within the UK and elsewhere.
