What is E-Navigation?

• IMO seeks to develop a strategic vision for the
  utilization of existing and new navigational
  tools, in particular electronic tools, in a
  holistic and systematic manner. The goal is to
  help reduce navigational accidents, errors and
  failures by developing standards for an accurate
  and cost effective system.
• The E is not strictly defined
