Swiss National Crew Database (CH NCDB) – Digitalization and Integration with the European System
RGO komunikacije d.o.o. is working on the development and
implementation of the Swiss National Crew Database (CH NCDB) for the client –
Schweizerische Rheinhäfen – Swiss Rhine Ports.
This project aims to modernize the management of crew member
data on Switzerland’s inland waterways and establish a connection with the European
Crew Database (ECDB), developed by the European Commission.
CH NCDB enables centralized crew data management,
including the recording of certificates, specific authorizations, and crew
health data. The system ensures automatic exchange of information with
European regulatory bodies, increasing transparency and compliance with EU
regulations.
As part of this project, RGO komunikacije d.o.o. is
developing a web application and database and implementing an eDelivery
interface for secure data exchange with ECDB. Additionally, the project
includes a four-year maintenance plan, technical support, and regular
software updates to ensure long-term stability and reliability.
This project represents a significant step forward in the
digitalization of crew management in river transport, enabling efficient
tracking of crew qualifications and authorizations while ensuring compliance
with national and European regulations.
Lock Management System
RGO Communications Ltd., commissioned by via donau –
Österreichische Wasserstraßen-Gesellschaft mbH, is developing and implementing
the national Lock Management System (LMS) – an integrated IT solution for
managing and monitoring lock operations along the nine Austrian Danube locks.
The project covers all stages of software development – from
requirements specification and system concept, through user interface
prototyping, implementation, installation, testing and multi-year maintenance
and technical support.
LMS enables complete digital management of lock operations,
including vessel passage recording, automated lock cycle planning, real-time
lock chamber visualization, shift and incident management, as well as reporting
and data exchange with related river information systems (DoRIS, CEERIS, EuRIS,
EHDB).
The system integrates advanced functionalities such as
automatic lock scheduling, failure and notification management, user and access
administration, and data synchronization through internal and external APIs.
This project represents a significant milestone in the
digital transformation of inland waterway traffic management, enhancing safety,
interoperability, and operational efficiency within the European River
Information Services (RIS) framework.
