Customers satisfaction on the provision for special needsEzzy Izzuddin
This document discusses a study conducted on passenger satisfaction levels with airline services for passengers with special needs. It outlines the research objectives, questions, methodology, data collection and presentation. Key findings from the passenger surveys found that most passengers were satisfied with the services and facilities provided, such as equipment, training of staff and discounts. However, some recommendations for improvement were made, including providing more assistance at arrival gates and airports, additional staff training, and ensuring wheelchairs are provided free of charge. In conclusion, while most special needs passengers were satisfied, some low-cost carriers needed to improve their services in line with ICAO guidelines for passengers requiring special assistance.

The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

31. Background
• Poor or no control of Pilot
exemption certificate
• Fatigue at sea, how to minimize
risk of fatigue?
• How reduce the increasing
administrative burden on board
and at the same time create
means for inspection of other
certificates and reduce risk of
forgeries?
32. Work done
Sub act 1,Background and Concept
• Action research with maritime stakeholders to evaluate the attitude towards a new
system
• A number of exam papers presented on subjects such as;
- Inspection of working hours
- Inspection of certificates in the Baltic area
• A comprehensive study on false certification and inspection in Europe
• Workshops and interviews with stakeholders.
33. Work done
Sub act 2, Human factors & Legal/Liability issues
• Action research with maritime stakeholders to evaluate the attitude towards a new
system
• A number of exam papers presented on subjects such as;
- Automatic registration of work hours at sea
- Maritime regulations on hours of work
- Issuing of certification in the Baltic area
• Workshops and interviews with stakeholders.
• Legal study conducted.
34. Work done
Sub act 3, Development and design of hardware/software
• Hardware for testing proposes developed
• Software for testing proposes developed
• Usability and portrayal work still do be undertaken.
35. Work done
Sub act 4, Testing and Dissemination
• Technical solution tested with different kind of carriers such as AIS, 3G, VSAT and
Iridium
• Simulations completed in Q3 2013
• Full scale tests completed in May 2013
• Presentations held at numerous conferences
• Films and brochures produced
36. Results & Conclusions
• Seafarers participating in the different tasks mainly positive towards a MONALISA
like system.
- Could be a “Quality stamp” for “good” flag states.
- May ease administrative burden for on board personnel
- Will provide tools to identify problems related to working hours.
• “Big brother” effect smaller than anticipated.
• Low cost on board and on shore hardware based on existing technology if
certificate databases ashore exists and are available.
However…
- Could backfire if not implemented in larger areas at the same time.
- Must incorporate some sort of “grey scale” to allow minor deficiencies.
37. Next step?
• Results will be handed over to Swedish Maritime Administration and European
Maritime Safety Agency and is a feasible solution to the original problem with poor
control of Pilot Exemption Certificates.
• Further studies are needed to look into limitations and possible dangers with such
a system.
• How do we guarantee quality at the certifying organization? And how do we
prevent “sales” at less serious certifying bodies and flag states?
41. Ensuring the Quality of Hydrographic Data
Subactivity 3.1: speed up re-surveys
Freedom of the ocean is also visible in the Baltic Sea. The coastal countries have
realized this and both the Baltic Sea Hydrographic Commission (BSHC) and the
HELCOM ministerial meetings have addressed this with a need to re-survey the
shipping routes with todays up-to-date
hydrographic survey methods to obtain
full coverage bathymetric data.
• action over the past 10 years;
• based on the shipping routes
and AIS records;
• Roadmap to compete the work;
• Chemical transport in the Gulf of
Finland about 200 M tons annual;
HELCOM AIS track: 15 days in August 2013
42. Ensuring the Quality of Hydrographic Data
Subactivity 3.1: speed up re-surveys
Re-surveys of HELCOM I and II
shipping routes and areas have
covered about 34 000 km² within
Motorways of the Baltic Sea and
MonaLisa TEN-T programs.
~65% - open for public tendering;
~20% - SGEI service order;
~15% - public administration work;
Over M€18 is used during TEN-T;
43. Ensuring the Quality of Hydrographic Data
Subactivity 3.1: re-survey impact
Contribution to safety of navigation:
Full coverage depth information -> adequate water depth
Up to date charts and ENCs
VTS, Notices to Mariners
Excellent record on
avoiding groundings
Environmentally friendly
shipping
Base data for all activities
Ice breaker routing
SMA: Multibeam surveying
44. Ensuring the Quality of Hydrographic Data
Subactivity 3.1: re-survey roadmap
There is a recognized need to continue HELCOM CAT I & II route surveys
during 2014-2020. BSHC has developed a roadmap with time schedules for
completing CAT I and II re-surveys. HELCOM Ministerial Meeting 2013 has
adopted that.

45. Ensuring the Quality of Hydrographic Data
Subactivity 3.2: Development of Baltic Sea
Depth Model
a Baltic Sea Depth Model has been
created, to serve the needs of
science and researchers.
This model is built on each national
Hydrographic Office provided best
bathymetric data and it follows the
INSPIRE directive on available
public data.
The model is available at the
BSHC web-site
data.bshc.pro
and also displayed at the stand in
the exhibition.

Subactivity 3.3: pilot implementation of
harmonized vertical reference
All Baltic Sea coastal countries, except Russia are now committed to a
transition into a harmonized chart datum – transition period is years. Each
country has it’s own and possibly a different path to common Chart Datum.

52. Activity 4: Global Sharing Of Maritime Data
Goal:
The activity aims to develop a functional demonstrator system both
technically and procedurally.
Defined, with the final objective to extend the sharing of maritime
information to a global scale as well as expanding the scope of maritime
information shared between maritime authorities in accordance with their
needs.
