HM Coastguard
The Future Coastguard Programme is intended to modernise the existing Service in a manner that provides effective and efficient provision into the future whilst maintaining the current quality of service.
FCG Maritime Operations Version 1. January 2012
HM CoastguardThere are two operational pillars to the Coastguard service:
Maritime Operations - (which this presentation addresses) is focussed on the seafaring community, the UK’s seaborne and offshore interests and the initiation and coordination of all maritime and coastal emergency response
Coastal Operations - which is focussed on the safety of users of the UK coastline, including coastal search and rescue provision

Detects threats to safety, the environment and security at an early stage through awareness of deviations from the normal
Assesses background risk
Deploys resources in anticipation
Provides tactical and strategic decision making
Ensures resilience
Provides national command for major maritime incidents

The detail of how National Maritime Operations service network will be developed over the next 12 months.
Transition
Please note these are representative areas.
The UK has been divided into Zones which are grouped into Areas of Responsibility and these are under the control of maritime operations teams based in the NMOC or CGOC.
These groupings will be based on arisk assessment that considers predicted activity, resourcing and anyother relevant factors such as events,weather forecast, etc.
GMDSS A1 and A2 DSC Alerts Resource Information by Vision area
The systems that provide: Communications. Incident and Information management Domain awareness.Will have aligned pre-defined ‘Functional / Work’ areas
ICCS provides:
Distribution of communications into a maximum of 40 functional areasUp to 30 radio channels per areaAbility to monitor 15 channels/aerials on a single terminal screenTelephones (inc. 999) directed according to post code (as now)Intercom facility (desk to desk anywhere sharing same ICCS)Vision Direct dial facility
Resource Management(A case study)
A distress alert initiates the opening of an incident. This is being coordinatedby the CGOC with responsibility for that area on that day. All on-duty teams nationally will be aware of this (and all other) incident(s) as they share the same ViSION system
As the demands of the incident increase the workload on the team atthe CGOC, the Controller responsible for that Centre, has a number of options for managing that workload. These include any combination or all of:Delegating away non-emergencywork across the networkAdding resource (virtual operators)Reducing the size of Area
In this case, in consultation with the Commander a change of AOR for the CGOCand flank centresis agreed thus enabling the coordinating team to focus on the incident.
Resource Management(A case study)
Resource Management(A case study)
In the event that the complexity or significance of the incident grows to such an extent that other government departments or nations have an interest and/or become involved, then: The National Maritime Operations Commander may choose for the NMOC to assume strategic command and control while utilising the team at the initiating Centre to focus on specific elements of the incident as appropriate
To provide a consistent service to mariners and avoid repeated passing of Transit reports. Traffic Separation Scheme reporting could be conducted by a operations teams at any location(s) operating on a rota to cover
- Minch, Fair Isle, Pentland Firth, Lands End, The Smalls, North channel.
The Dover strait TSS will remain the responsibility of the centre at Dover to meet CNIS obligations
Traffic Reporting Schemes
A team of Officers on any given day according to workload can undertake the following services in discharge of the UK’s responsibilities:
1.Receipt of an alert in the event of a banned ship entering UK waters.2.The requirement to monitor Single Hull Tankers 3.Requirement for an alert when vessels of interest to other Government departments enter UK waters.
