The Danish Maritime Authority intends to enter into a contract with Teledyne CARIS for the establishment of a new solution for the Danish Maritime Authority's marking register. It is critical software that contains the Danish Maritime Authority's total data on floating and permanent markings under the auspices of DK. A total of about 9000 records. The markup system is today located as an Oracle database with a customized user interface.
The contract covers the establishment of a new marking register incl. licenses, software, data sharing, operating costs and integration with Niord.
1. The register must contain all markings in Denmark as well as lighthouses and beacons ind Greenland and lighthouses in the Faroe Islands.
6. It must be possible to  easily generate reports (stock, change/ supervision lists and promissory notes) in XLSX, PDF and preferably GPX format.
12. The register must be able to handle user rights and roles, as well as other rights to create user components etc.
13. The user interface must be easy, efficient and intuitive to support the employee in their work, preferably with a graphical user interface.
Other than that we require Marking data - the very basic data that gives the DMA a comprehensive overview of all markings. Maintenance data - Process: Component are procured / maintained at the operations center and subsequently prepared and moved to vessels /guard stations. An Interfaces - integrations with other systems.
The Danish Maritime Authority would like to hear from Suppliers who can solve the above task within the specified financial framework. In the event that the Danish Maritime Authority has not received inquiries within 10 days, the Danish Maritime Authority will enter into a contract for Project new Marking Register with Teledyne CARIS.
The Danish Maritime Authority has investigated the possibilities for solutions with other maritime authorities with responsibility for marking. An important criterion is that the new marking register is equipped for ODD, as the EU has decided that European authorities must make certain data sets available to the public. The Danish Maritime Authority has asked the following about possible solutions: IALA, Korea, USA, Canada, Sweden, Norway and the Danish Geodata Agency. All respondents, with the exception of Norway, have been in the same situation as Denmark, that their marking registers are in obsolete systems, with a lack of security and integration opportunities.
Korea and the United States have chosen to build a new register with their own development funds that are adapted to the S-100. Canada has decided to purchase a system offered by Canadian-American Teledyne Caris. Sweden is still in the decision-making phase and is interested in what the Danish Maritime Authority / Denmark arrives at. The Danish Geodata Agency has their markings registered in ArcGIS, but produces their depth maps in Teledyne Caris' software. The Danish Geodata Agency is interested in closer cooperation with the Danish Maritime Authority regarding the forthcoming marking register. After holding meetings with Canada, the Danish Maritime Authority is of the opinion that it will be economically most advantageous and resource-saving to access the same solution by using Teledyne Caris.
