    • 8. Hydrographic Offices
    • 9. National Representative Bodies
    • 10. Government Departments
  54. What is the role of the SO NCAGS?
    As the officer who provides expertise and advice to the operational commander on NCZGS matters as they affect the planning and exercution of operations, SO NCAGS will oversee the NCAGS contribution to theOPP.
  55. 4.         Deployed
    NCAGS elements are directly responsible to the SO NCAGS. Name four tasks they
    are to undertake?
    • 1. Local coordination of merchant ships
    • 2. Local area information gathering concerning merchant shipping trade.
    • 3. Briefing of Masters
    • 4. Liasion with masters during merchant ships movements Support and/or control of group transits of merchant ships and convoys
  56. Automatic vessel reporting systems (such as AIS) may not provide　comprehensive positional data for a variety of reasons.  Expand upon this point by providing three explanations.


    The availability of AIS data: Merchant ships operating in deep water may have AIS on but the transmission will not be picked up unless there is a receiver within the VHF range. Satellite or MPA coverage may be available to overcome this restricted coverage.

    • Non-Transmission: Masters are able to of
    • AIS if they feel transmission compromises the safety and security of their vessel.

    • Spoofing: AIS data may need to be authenticated before it can be fully relied
    • upon.
  57. What is one advantage of a vessel reporting scheme?
    It can be configured to exactly match operational requirements by asking for specific information over and above the standard ship details which will direct enhance situational awareness.
  58. What is one disadvantage of a vessel reporting scheme?
    • It’s discretionary: Merchant ships choose to participate or not; they are more likely to participate if there is direct benefit to them such as getting a comprehensive brief for reporting. When a VRS is voluntary it is
    • unlikely to provide a comprehensive picture.
  59. What sort of information is required to be collected for the successful planning and
    conduct of an operation?
    Friendly assets, neutrals, the adversary and the environment in order to build comprehensive situational awareness.

    A Lead through would minimise the risk of merchant ships transiting through potential mined areas
  62. What are the differences between a Format Alfa and Format Bravo?
    Format Alfa is a single point of contact when a vessel reaches a reporting boundary or guideline. Format Bravo may be used for further reporting of position and movement by merchant ships (i.e.reporting at noon each day while in the reporting area).
  63. List five pieces of information an SI should include.
    • 1. Ship Name
    • 2. Flag
